About
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026: the dates, and what is not on sale
Nothing has been released for this Grand Prix. There are no hospitality packages, no prices, no enquiry form and no checkout on this page, because Prestige Corporate Events holds no allocation for it. The waitlist is the only option here, and joining it is not a booking. The race itself is confirmed: the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 runs from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December, with practice and qualifying across the Friday and Saturday and the race on the Sunday. It is held at Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. That makes it the final race weekend of the 2026 Formula 1 season.
Why is Abu Dhabi the season finale?
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix closes the 2026 Formula 1 season as round 23 of a 23-round calendar. Yas Marina Circuit has hosted the Formula 1 season finale in most years since the venue's debut in 2009. Because it is the final round, the Abu Dhabi weekend can decide the drivers' championship, depending on how close the standings are once the season reaches Yas Island.
Where is the race held?
Yas Marina Circuit sits on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The lap measures 5.281 km, and the race covers 58 laps and 306.183 km. Racing starts in daylight and finishes under floodlights, which is what people mean when they call Abu Dhabi a day-to-night race. Yas Island is a leisure destination in its own right, with hotels, dining and attractions close to the track.
Read more about the circuit itself on the Yas Marina Circuit venue page.
Who is the defending world champion?
Lando Norris is the defending Formula 1 world champion, having clinched his maiden title at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen won the race. The 2026 season is still being run, so the championship standings that arrive at Yas Marina in December are not yet known.
More on his career sits on the Lando Norris driver page.
Is the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix broadcast live in the UK?
In the UK, Sky Sports F1 shows every Formula 1 practice, qualifying and race session live, and Channel 4 carries free-to-air highlights of qualifying and every Grand Prix. That covers the 2026 season, so the Abu Dhabi finale is live on Sky Sports F1, with the Channel 4 highlights following the race.
What does the Abu Dhabi race weekend involve?
Abu Dhabi is a three-day weekend rather than a single day out. Practice runs on the Friday, qualifying on the Saturday and the Grand Prix on the Sunday; it is not one of the six sprint rounds in 2026. Yas Island itself has hotels, dining and attractions close to the circuit, which is why many overseas visitors build a short stay around the race. None of that is on sale here. Prestige Corporate Events holds no allocation for the 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, has released no packages and no prices, and is not taking bookings or enquiries for it. The waitlist is the only option.
What happens if hospitality is released?
No hospitality has been released for the 2026 race, so there is no range to show and nothing to buy. If anything is announced it will appear on the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix hub. For background on the circuit and how a race weekend there runs, see the Yas Marina race weekend guide. The waitlist on this page is the only step available for December 2026.
