The Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2026: When & Where?
The Prix race everyone has been waiting for is finally here. The iconic night race under the floodlights will take place from 8 PM to 10 PM local time on 11 October 2026 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore. Even after the chequered flag drops, the excitement continues with an electrifying entertainment line-up featuring DJ sets by DJ Snake, TOKiMONSTA, and Major Lazer Soundsystem. Fans can also look forward to performances by iconic rock and pop acts, including Goo Goo Dolls and Split Enz, among others, across the three days.
Adding to your reasons for watching the Grand Prix, this time, instead of three, there are five power unit manufacturers, including the existing Mercedes and Ferrari, along with the new F1 entries – Cadillac, Audi, Honda and the new collaboration between Ford and Red Bull.
Not only this, one can also witness several modifications in the aerodynamic structure of the F1 cars. The most visible changes you will see are in the wings — the front and rear wings have been simplified with fewer elements overall. The cars are narrower, shorter, and lighter. Additionally, the teams will use advanced sustainable fuels with the commitment of becoming net zero by 2030. The cars will be racing at speeds of up to 350 km/hr on a circuit length of 4.94 km with 62 laps, and ticket prices start from $228 and go up to $428.

To delight your palate, try local dishes, like the Chilli crab, Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, satay, and Hokkien mee. You can easily find these at local street hawkers; if not, Singapore is a blooming hub of luxury fine-dining restaurants.
