The Legend Boucles @ Bastogne 2026 will take place on 30th, 31st January and 1st February!

The comment was unanimous: the 2025 edition of the Legend Boucles @ Bastogne was superb, with a prestigious line-up, high-level sporting competition, an impressive show and greater popularity than ever before. This has prompted the Royal Automobile Club of Spa to start preparations for the 2026 edition, the eleventh to be held in Bastogne. And on this first day of September, the dates for the next Legend Boucles @ Bastogne have been announced...

The positioning of such an event on the calendar is not a matter to be taken lightly. For several months, discussions and negotiations have been ongoing in order to identify dates that would suit as many people as possible...

“Several factors come into play, comments Pierre Delettre on behalf of the Royal Automobile Club of Spa. First and foremost, we need to be in tune with our “host city”, Bastogne. Even though the Legend Boucles take place in the middle of winter, Bastogne's tourist activity is such that we have to consider everything before making a decision. Then there is the sporting aspect. In order to secure the participation of drivers or personalities from the World Rally Championship, we have to wait for the FIA WRC calendar for the following year to be finalised. Traditionally, our event takes place between the Monte Carlo Rally and the Rally Sweden. This will still be the case in 2026..."

The Legend Boucles @ Bastogne 2026 will take place over the weekend straddling January and February! On Friday 30 January, with the traditional parade through the town centre following the autograph session, on Saturday 31 January and on Sunday 1 February.

That's it, it's official!

For the rest, R.A.C. Spa continues to develop the Legend Boucles @ Bastogne. While no real revolution is expected for the 2026 edition, there will clearly be some new features! These will be unveiled and detailed at the traditional press conference at the end of October, once again held in a municipality that will feature on the route of this new edition. So, a little patience is required...

All that remains is to mark 30th and 31st January and 1st February in your diaries, so you don't miss one of the must-see historic rallies on the international calendar. And without giving anything away, many are already considering taking part in the Legend Boucles @ Bastogne 2026...
