Grand National is the debut extended play by British band, Courting. The EP was released on 9 April 2021 through Nice Swan Recordings.
Grand National received generally positive review from contemporary music critics. Alex Cabré, writing for DIY described the EP as "heavy-handed with their influences but endearing enough to get away with it." Cabré compared Courting heavily to compatriot band, Sports Team, saying that "frontman Sean Murphy-O’Neill is a pint-sized Alex Rice, a cavalier jabberer whose tone is an inch the right side of irritating as he rips into horse racing culture and Brexit Britain over an instrumental that should tick a few boxes for any Sports Team fan."
Jamie MacMillan, writing for Dork praised Grand National giving it a perfect five-star rating. MacMillan called Grand National an "exciting early sound of a band trying on different outfits to see what fits."
