BCN Sports Film unveils its official selection: 85 international titles
The BCN Sports Film Festival is gearing up for its 16th edition, to be held in Barcelona from February 23 to March 3, 2026, featuring an official selection of 85 short films and documentaries from 30 countries around the world.
Across more than 31 hours of screenings, audiences will enjoy a diverse look at the world of sport through cinema — from intimate stories of personal growth to productions tackling major social, environmental, and equality challenges.
The selection includes European studio animations, documentaries about Olympic athletes and lesser-known disciplines, fictional works exploring the values of effort, and creative sports-themed spots. A line-up that reinforces the festival’s international, inclusive, and contemporary spirit.
Screenings will take place across various venues in the city — including the Museu Olímpic i de l’Esport Joan Antoni Samaranch, BCN Civic Centres, and several partner organisations — maintaining the festival’s commitment to free access to sports cinema and cultural inclusion for all audiences.
Organised by the Fundació Barcelona Olímpica, the BCN Sports Film is an international benchmark in the field of sports and cinema, and is part of the World FICTS Circuit (Fédération Internationale Cinéma Télévision Sportifs).
In the coming weeks, the festival will announce the full programme and thematic blocks for an edition that promises emotion, reflection, and plenty of cinema made with sporting passion.
