Madrid Opens the European Season

From 15 to 17 May, Madrid welcomes the Tour onto European soil, marking the beginning of a key phase in the season. The Spanish capital has become one of the Tour’s most established venues, known for its knowledgeable crowd and strong connection to the sport.

The release of the official Madrid event poster signals this moment, capturing the character of a venue where heritage and modern competition meet. It is here that riders begin to build consistency during the European leg, with performances often setting the tone for the weeks that follow.

Past editions of Madrid have highlighted the importance of measured riding and strong partnerships. The arena rewards clarity and balance, favouring those who approach each round with composure and intent.

Beyond the competition, Madrid offers a complete experience shaped by atmosphere, hospitality and the energy of the city itself. It remains a defining stop for those looking to engage with the Tour at its most authentic.

As the European season begins, Madrid stands as the natural point of entry.

Shanghai’s Landmark Presence

From 1 to 3 May, the Tour returns to Shanghai, a city that has played a significant role in the sport’s global development.

The Longines Global Champions Tour’s debut here in 2014 marked the first CSI5* show jumping event on mainland China, opening the sport to a new audience and establishing a lasting presence in Asia. Since then, Shanghai has become a key stage on the calendar.

Set against a modern skyline, the event brings a distinct atmosphere, where international competition meets a growing equestrian community. Riders are required to adapt quickly, with success often defined by focus and awareness from the outset.

As the first stop following Mexico City, Shanghai reinforces the Tour’s position as a truly global championship.

Monaco: An Icon of the Summer Season

Set within Port Hercule, the compact arena creates a unique test where accuracy and timing are essential. Over the years, Monaco has delivered standout performances from many of the sport’s leading riders, each mastering its distinctive conditions.

The setting defines the experience. Surrounded by the Riviera, Monaco blends elite competition with a refined social atmosphere, offering one of the most sought-after hospitality experiences on the calendar.

Evening competition under lights adds to its character, making it a highlight of the summer season.
