Brussels Motor Show

The Brussels Motor Show is Europe's first major automotive exhibition of the year, organized by FEBIAC at Brussels Expo. The 102nd edition in January 2026 marks a record-breaking show with 64 car brands, surpassing the previous record of 63, alongside the return of motorcycles after a six-year absence and a dedicated light commercial vehicle section.

Spread across over 50,000 square meters in Palais 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11, plus the renovated Astrid Hall and Patio area, the ten-day event has grown significantly in international importance since the discontinuation of the Geneva Motor Show. Major manufacturers now choose Brussels for world and European premieres, making it an essential destination for seeing the latest production models, concept cars, and electric vehicle innovations firsthand.

Beyond the main exhibition halls, the show features the Supercar Experience in front of Astrid Hall where visitors can sit inside exclusive supercars, professional racing simulators in Palais 6, and the prestigious Car of the Year award ceremony. The event attracts both industry professionals and the general public, with an average visit lasting three to four hours.

The show runs daily from 10am to 7pm, with a late opening until 10pm on Friday and extended weekend hours. Brussels Expo is easily accessible via metro line 6 to Heysel station, with over 12,000 parking spaces available. Arriving on weekdays or in the afternoon helps avoid the busiest periods.
