Feb 16 (Reuters) - Barcelona's ⁠Circuit de Catalunya will host ⁠a Formula One Grand Prix in ‌2028, 2030 and 2032 after signing a contract extension to alternate with Belgium, the Liberty ​Media-owned sport said on Monday.

The ⁠race will be ⁠known as the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix from ⁠this ‌season, with the Spanish Grand Prix moving to a new ⁠street circuit in Madrid.

"Barcelona is an ​incredible city, ‌and the Formula One fans there ⁠always ​welcome us with such passion, so I am delighted that we will continue ⁠to race at the Circuit ​de Barcelona-Catalunya for years to come," said F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali in a statement.

This ⁠year's race is scheduled for June 14.

Formula One announced last January that the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps would ​drop off the ⁠calendar in 2028 and 2030 as part ​of a new contract ‌guaranteeing four races in ​six years to 2031.
