The Mexican Grand Prix Thursday pass is the opening day of the weekend, giving entry to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Thursday 29 October 2026. Thursday is the build-up day, before the Formula 1 cars run, when the circuit in the heart of Mexico City comes to life and the paddock starts to fill. It is the most accessible way in across the weekend, a lower-cost single day for fans who want to soak up the atmosphere and walk the venue before the sessions begin. With the dates falling around the Day of the Dead, the opening day already carries plenty of colour.

The Thursday pass covers entry to the circuit on Thursday 29 October, the opening day of the weekend. This is the build-up before track running, a chance to find your bearings, take in the paddock atmosphere and get a feel for the grandstands ahead of the action. Mexico 2026 is a standard weekend rather than a Sprint round, so the Formula 1 cars first run in Friday practice and not on the Thursday. The pass does not include the practice, qualifying or the race, so it suits fans who want the opening day rather than the sessions that follow.
The Thursday pass suits a few kinds of fan. If you want the lowest-cost way into the weekend, the opening day is the most affordable single ticket. If you are building a longer trip to Mexico City, it adds the first day on site before the cars run. And if you are new to a grand prix, Thursday is a relaxed way to learn the venue and settle in before the crowds of the race weekend build.
The Thursday pass is the first piece of the weekend. Friday brings the opening practice, Saturday sets the grid in qualifying, and the race follows on Sunday 1 November in front of the home fans. The Mexican Grand Prix tickets page carries the single-day and weekend passes together, along with the grandstand guide, so it is the place to plan the rest of the trip around the Thursday opening.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez sits inside Mexico City, in the east of the city near the old airport, so it is one of the easier circuits on the calendar to reach. The Metro serves it directly, with Ciudad Deportiva among the closest stations, and taxis and ride-hailing run across the city. Thursday is quieter than the later days, so the trip in is usually an easier one. Around the race, the wider live calendar can be browsed through the music and show tickets page for the days either side of the grand prix.
