Tickets Launch for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia

The Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) and Sepang International Circuit (SIC) have opened ticket sales for the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia 2026. The announcement covers grandstand and general admission tickets for what organizers describe as a unique crossover event, with the spirit of Bahrain’s home race relocated to Sepang for the 2026 edition.

The move brings a Gulf-branded Grand Prix to a Southeast Asian venue for the first time this season, giving fans in the region direct access to a round of the world championship without traveling to the Gulf. International fans (non-Malaysian citizens) can purchase through bahraingp.com, while Malaysian citizens holding a MyKad identity card have a separate discounted route to the same site.

Race Weekend Dates and Venue

The Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia takes place over three days, from 2-4 October 2026, at Sepang International Circuit. Sepang has hosted Formula 1 previously as the venue for the Malaysian Grand Prix, and its return to the calendar under the Bahrain Grand Prix banner marks a change in how the event is branded and organized for 2026.

Fans attending across the three days will follow the standard Grand Prix weekend format, with track sessions building toward the Sunday race. Organizers have not yet released the detailed session schedule, but ticket holders are advised to check bahraingp.com and sepangcircuit.com for updates closer to the event.

Ticket Prices and Categories for International Fans

General admission tickets for international fans start at USD 219 per person for the full three-day race weekend. Grandstand seating starts at USD 350 for three days, while the Main Grandstand, the venue’s premium viewing position, is priced at USD 566 for three days. All listed prices are inclusive of tax.

These rates apply to non-Malaysian citizens purchasing through the Bahrain International Circuit’s official ticketing channel, bahraingp.com. Organizers have urged fans to book early, noting that grandstand and general admission seating for the race weekend is expected to be in high demand once sales ramp up.

MyKad Holder Rates and Family Discounts

MyKad holders receive discounted three-day tickets, with general admission starting at MYR 200 and grandstand seats starting at MYR 1,291.4. These special rates are reserved for Malaysian citizens holding a valid MyKad identity card, and a verification process is in place at the point of purchase to confirm eligibility before tickets are issued.

Family discounts apply across both international and MyKad pricing tiers. Children aged between three and six receive a 25% discount on ticket price, while children under three are admitted free of charge. Both MyKad and international tickets are available through the same bahraingp.com portal, with separate purchase pathways for each group.

Accessible Seating and Hospitality Packages

Accessible seating is available at Sepang International Circuit for spectators with additional needs. Reservations for accessible seating are made directly by phone at +973 1745 0000, rather than through the standard online ticketing flow used for general admission and grandstand seats.

Hospitality package details for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia have not yet been released. Organizers have said information on hospitality options will be announced in the coming days, with updates to be posted on bahraingp.com and sepangcircuit.com. The ticket launch follows Gulf Air’s announcement of new direct flights linking Bahrain and Malaysia, underlining the scale of cross-border promotion built around this edition of the race.

What Fans Can Expect Trackside

Fans attending Sepang in October will see the full 2026 grid up close, including cars run by Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes, each carrying liveries and driver helmet designs that have evolved across the season. Grandstand and Main Grandstand seating positions at Sepang are known for close views of the pit straight and final corners, giving spectators a strong vantage point for photographing car liveries and helmet detail as drivers including Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc come through at speed.

No results, grid positions or podium outcomes exist yet for this event since it has not taken place; ticket sales have only just opened for the 2-4 October weekend. Fans planning to attend can use the months ahead to plan seating close to podium or pit-lane areas, where helmet and livery detail is easiest to see and photograph on race day.
