ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
With 50 days to go until the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026, the countdown is on to the season finale.
Taking place from 3–6 December, the weekend features high-stakes racing, global superstar concerts and entertainment.
To mark the 50 day countdown to race weekend, here's how you can explore Abu Dhabi.
Experience the action from a new seat
W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island takes the idea of a trackside stay to another level: the circuit passes beneath the hotel, meaning hotel guests have some of the best views right from the comfort of their hotel rooms.
The chequered flag is your cue for live music
When the race finishes, the evening is just getting started. The Yasalam After-Race Concerts bring global stars to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix week, with the 2026 line-up including Lewis Capaldi, Alex Warren, Imagine Dragons, The Chainsmokers and The Script.
Your race ticket can unlock another adventure
Eligible three and four-day ticket holders receive complimentary one-day access to either teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi or a Yas Island theme park: choose from Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi or SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.
A Grand Prix ticket can also open the door to Abu Dhabi’s cultural landmarks. Eligible multi-day ticket holders can receive complimentary admission to Louvre Abu Dhabi and Qasr Al Watan, making time for art, architecture and discovery around the race schedule.
Fun for the whole family on Friday
Through Kids Go Free Friday, four-day ticket holders aged 21 and over can bring up to four children aged 3–12 at no additional cost, subject to registration and terms. With entertainment and interactive activities across the Fanzone and Oasis areas, Friday offers families an opportunity to enjoy all the Grand Prix has to offer together.
