Alpine confirm 2026 launch event date

Alpine have become the latest team to announce details of their launch ahead of the 2026 season.

The Enstone-based squad took to social media to reveal that the event will take place in Barcelona on January 23, just days before the first pre-season test gets underway at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from January 26-30.

While the date and location were confirmed, Alpine did not reveal any further information about the nature of their launch but added the caption: “We've got something to show you...”

The outfit will be hoping for a better season ahead in 2026, having found themselves at the bottom of the Teams’ Championship during the 2025 campaign.

They will field an unchanged driver line-up next year, with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto both remaining with the team.

News of Alpine’s launch comes one day after Aston Martin confirmed their launch will be held on February 9, while Red Bull and Racing Bulls are set to host a joint event alongside Ford on January 15.
