Formula 1 has confirmed that the 2026 season will conclude as planned at Yas Marina Circuit, with the race programme running from 3 to 6 December and the Grand Prix weekend itself from 4 to 6 December. The confirmation followed a period of uncertainty around the Middle East schedule.
More than a race
Since 2009, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has grown into a week of racing, concerts and hospitality across Yas Island. Race week is also a popular moment to combine Abu Dhabi with Dubai, a little over an hour away by road.
Planning
Hotels on Yas Island and in the city are in high demand for the finale. Many visitors stay in Abu Dhabi and travel to the circuit by car, or split the week between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
