The excitement is building as Formula One reveals its electrifying 2026 calendar, with Abu Dhabi once again set to host the spectacular season finale that promises edge-of-the-seat action.

The upcoming championship will feature an adrenaline-packed schedule of 24 races spanning five continents, culminating in what's become a tradition - the breathtaking Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit. Since becoming F1's traditional season closer in 2014, this Middle Eastern gem has delivered unforgettable championship deciders and will continue its reign through at least 2030.

Yas Marina Circuit first joined the F1 family in 2009 and quickly established itself as one of motorsport's most innovative venues. The state-of-the-art facility boasts unique features including a tunnel pit exit and an integrated luxury hotel overlooking the track. Its dramatic twilight races have decided world championships four times (2010,2014,2016,2021) with another potential title showdown expected this December.
