The Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2026 will be taking place at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia from October 2 to 4, Formula One and the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) have announced.
Malaysia will host the kingdom’s race between the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grand Prix.
The event, which is subject to final agreements and official sign-off, including the approval of the World Motor Sport Council, will become the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.
This solution shows the great vision of Bahrain and their enduring commitment to F1 that dates back to the first-ever grand prix in the region in 2004, as well as the generosity of Malaysia to make this possible, said a statement. It also demonstrates the sport’s ability to adapt quickly and find a way to ensure that our fans, partners, and the whole ecosystem continue to benefit from an extensive 2026 schedule.
This agreement, reached between F1, the FIA, the Government of Bahrain, and the Government of Malaysia, allows F1 to preserve a grand prix that would otherwise not have happened. The rest of the schedule for 2026 remains unchanged.
