The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix closes the Formula 1 season, and it does so in style at the Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island. Run from 3 to 6 December 2026, it is a twilight race that begins in daylight and finishes under floodlights, set against the marina and the hotel that arches over the track. As the final round of the year, it has decided more than one world title on the last night of the season, and the stakes give the weekend an edge that few races can match. The F1 tickets calendar tracks this round and the wider season from the same verified marketplace.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
1BoxOffice connects buyers to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix through vetted sellers, backed by a 150% money-back guarantee that has held since 2006. Day passes and weekend passes are listed side by side, so you can build the trip around a single session or the full four days at the circuit.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix runs across four days, building from the opening day to the race itself. Thursday brings the fan activities and the first look at the paddock, Friday is given over to practice as the teams find their setup, Saturday holds final practice and the qualifying hour that sets the grid, and Sunday is race day, with the lights going out in the late afternoon and the finish under the floodlights. The weekend is also known for its after-race entertainment, with headline concerts closing out the biggest nights on Yas Island.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is sold as single-day passes and multi-day passes, letting you match the ticket to the sessions you want to see. These are the options listed for the 2026 race:
| Pass | Days covered | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday Pass | Thu 3 December | Opening day and fan activities |
| Friday Pass | Fri 4 December | Practice day |
| Saturday Pass | Sat 5 December | Qualifying day |
| Sunday Pass | Sun 6 December | Race day |
| 2-Day Pass | Fri 4 and Sat 5 December | Practice and qualifying |
| 2-Day Pass | Sat 5 and Sun 6 December | Qualifying and the race |
| 3-Day Pass | Fri 4 to Sun 6 December | Practice through to race day |
| 4-Day Pass | Thu 3 to Sun 6 December | The full weekend |
The Saturday and Sunday passes are the most sought after, since qualifying and the race are the peak of the weekend. Weekend passes give the best value across the four days and hold the same seat through every session.
Yas Marina is a covered-grandstand circuit, and each stand looks onto a different part of the lap. Choosing the right one comes down to whether you want the start and finish, the overtaking zones or the marina backdrop:
Yas Marina sits on Yas Island, a short drive from Abu Dhabi and its airport, and around ninety minutes by road from Dubai. Many fans base themselves on the island itself or in either city and travel in for the sessions, with shuttle and road links running through the weekend. The wider events of the emirate are worth building into the trip, and the Abu Dhabi event tickets page shows what else is on around the race, while the Dubai event tickets page covers the city up the coast.
The Grand Prix weekend is as much a festival as a race, and Yas Island packs plenty around the circuit. The after-race concerts are a fixture of the biggest nights, drawing global headline acts to the island, and the Etihad Arena and the attractions of Yas Bay carry entertainment through the four days. For the shows around the race, the music and show tickets calendar brings concerts and live events together.
