Sepang will host the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2026 as a replacement race on the Formula One calendar, according to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The event is expected to bring affordable ticket prices for Malaysian fans, though front-row seats may remain costly. The announcement was made during a press conference in Port Dickson, where Anwar emphasized the potential economic benefits for Malaysia. The move comes as part of Formula One’s ongoing efforts to expand its global reach and increase fan engagement. The 2026 season will see the Bahrain Grand Prix take place at the Sepang International Circuit, a venue known for its high-speed layout and challenging conditions. This decision could also help attract more international visitors and boost local tourism.
