Singapore Grand Prix 2026
9 October–11 October 2026
Marina Bay Street Circuit · Singapore 038975
Held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit — F1's original night race, run under floodlights through the streets of downtown Singapore.
Singapore is F1's only true night race, run entirely under floodlights through the streets of Marina Bay, and it's officially been classified F1's first-ever "heat hazard" event — the humidity here is a real, documented part of the challenge, not just race-weekend colour.
It's also the one Grand Prix built as much around the music as the racing. Ten stages run across the circuit park all weekend, headlined this year by Lana Del Rey's first-ever Singapore show, The Killers, and JJ Lin, so a full race day genuinely runs from afternoon sessions through to a late-night set under the same lights.
Everything you need to plan the trip: costs, tickets, where to stay, where to eat, and the detail that only matters once you're actually going.

Pre-trip brief
Updated 4 October 2026
- Hot and sticky all three days — highs around 31-32°C, and it won't drop below 27°C even at night. Afternoon thunderstorms are likely too. Skip the big umbrella; a poncho travels better once the grandstands are packed in tight.
- Roads around Marina Centre and the Padang close from 12:01am on 7 October to 5:30am on 13 October. Driving or grabbing a cab near the circuit won't work on race days — take the MRT. City Hall and Esplanade stations are both a short walk from the track, and trains run later than usual all three nights: last train from City Hall is around 12:30am Friday and Saturday, 12:45am Sunday. Worth checking lta.gov.sg a day or two out in case the advisory shifts.
- This is Singapore's first-ever Sprint weekend. Sprint Qualifying is Friday night, the Sprint Race runs Saturday at 5pm, Grand Prix Qualifying follows that same evening, and the main race stays Sunday at 8pm. If you're only there for one day, Friday's worth catching now — it's a real qualifying session, not just practice.
