2026 Singapore Grand Prix will see debut of F1 Sprint

Fans at the Marina Bay Street Circuit can look forward to more thrilling battles on the track over the three days at the 2026 edition of the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix, with the nation's first ever F1 Sprint.

Held from 9 to 11 October 2026, the sprint format, which was introduced in 2021, delivers plenty of fierce wheel-to-wheel action. This includes a memorable win for seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton earlier this season, marking his first victory in red and the first ever Sprint victory for Scuderia Ferrari HP.

The Free Practice 2 (FP2) session on the first day will be replaced by a Sprint Qualifying session. This will set the grid for a Sprint race the next day, replacing Free Practice 3 (FP3), followed by the F1 Qualifying session for the Grand Prix later in the evening.

With reduced Free Practice sessions, teams are pressured to get the set-up right from the start. As there are more points up for grabs, each session carries significance - whether it's for championship points or grid position. Tickets will be released in phases soon, limited to select ticket categories only.
