Tickets are now available for the 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix via our ticket partner Grand Prix Tickets. Now the traditional curtain-closer, the unique twilight race at Yas Marina Circuit will once again bring the Formula 1 season to a close on December 4-6.
As well as the potential for a dramatic final race title-decider in what is set to be a super competitive 2026 season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix also benefits from having a good selection of support races – including Formula 2, which will host its season finale here this year – along with a stellar musical line-up on each night of the race weekend.
Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson have already been announced as two of 2026’s headline performers. In recent years, Katy Perry, Metallica, Eminem, Muse, Maroon 5, Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Lewis Capaldi and Kendrick Lamar are among the headline names who’ve taken to the stage at Yas Marina Circuit.
Tickets for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix have been selling out in record time in recent years, leading race organisers to expand capacity. Attendance over the race weekend has grown by over 40,000 since 2021, with the 2025 event having had 203,000 weekend attendees. With another sell-out event likely in 2026 and a smaller capacity than at other venues, it’s wise to secure your tickets as soon as possible.
