The race is announced.
Tickets are not on sale yet.

Formula 1 says ticket information will be announced soon. Do not pay an unknown seller before an official ticket list appears.

Why is it called the Bahrain Grand Prix?

The Bahrain race did not take place in April. Formula 1 now plans to hold that race at Sepang in Malaysia. Final approval is still pending.

Being studiedNot on sale

New · 27 July 2026

A cheaper “MADANI ticket” may be coming.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the government will study a lower-priced ticket so more people can attend. He suggested it would not be for the closest or most expensive seats.

  1. 01 · Confirmed

    A lower price is being considered

    This is a public proposal from the Prime Minister. It is not an official ticket product yet.

  2. 02 · Not announced

    No price or eligibility rules

    There is no published discount, subsidy method, MyKad rule, ticket limit, seat area, seller, or sale date.

  3. 03 · What to do

    Wait for an authorised sales link

    Do not pay, register, or share personal details for a “MADANI ticket” until an official channel names the product.

Important: “Lower-priced” does not yet prove that the ticket will use a government subsidy. PETRONAS says it does not manage ticket allocation or sales.

Sepang in two views

Big track.
Long day.

Sepang is wide, hot, and built beside KLIA. Pick your seat and your way home together, not as two separate plans.

Expect sun, rain, and long walks.

Queues build fast. Plan your exit early.

Three things
to plan early.

  1. 01

    Heat and rain

    Bring sun protection, a poncho, water, and comfortable shoes.

  2. 02

    Your trip home

    Traffic and queues build after the final session. Decide how you will leave before race day.

  3. 03

    Official sellers

    Wait for Formula 1, Sepang, or a named authorised seller before you pay.
