Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix In Malaysia 2026

The Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia 2026 is scheduled to take place from October 2 to 4, 2026, at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. Slotted as Round 16 of the 2026 Formula 1 Championship, the race sits between the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grands Prix on the revised calendar. This event marks a major milestone for motorsport fans, representing F1's long-awaited return to the iconic Sepang circuit, which last hosted a Grand Prix back in 2017. Originally scheduled to take place at the Bahrain International Circuit in April 2026, the race was postponed and relocated following safety concerns in the Middle East. Through a unique collaborative agreement involving Formula 1, the FIA, and the governments of both Bahrain and Malaysia, the race was reinstated to be hosted at Sepang while maintaining its official Bahrain Grand Prix title and Gulf Air sponsorship.
