Paris International Motor Show 2026: dates, venue, media day

The Paris international motor show will run from 12 to 18 October 2026 at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center. According to the organizers, 12 October is set aside exclusively for the media. They anticipate welcoming more than half a million attendees eager to see the latest in the automotive world.

Traditionally a biennial fixture, the Paris auto show takes place in even-numbered years and alternates with the Lyon motor show on odd years. The timetable, with a press-only opening day, hints at a packed program and headline reveals, while the projected turnout underscores the event’s strong pull for both enthusiasts and the industry.
