Ticket Sales for 2026 Formula 1 Chinese GP to Open on Thursday

Tickets for the 2026 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix will officially go on sale at 11am on December 11.

Fans can purchase tickets through the Juss Sports app, Juss' WeChat and Alipay mini-programs, while overseas audiences can buy via the app's international version.

The 2026 season brings fresh excitement with new technical regulations and the entry of the Cadillac team. As the second stop of the F1 calendar, Shanghai will continue to host a Sprint race for the third straight year – once again becoming the first Sprint weekend of the season. Over three days, 11 teams and 22 cars will compete through qualifying, the Sprint and the Grand Prix, promising fierce battles and global attention.

Ticket offerings have been expanded this year. The B Grandstand makes a strong return, offering views of Turn 1 and successive corners, as well as pit-exit moments. In 2026, the E Grandstand will debut, giving fans a close look at wheel-to-wheel action through Turns 11-13, with shuttle services provided for easier access. Friday and Saturday single-day tickets for A (upper/lower), B and H/K stands can be partly paid using "Le Dong Shanghai" sports vouchers. Popular grass stands C/F/J remain at 480 yuan (US$68) for three days, keeping their status as top-value choices.

To meet diverse fan needs, customized products will be launched, including official event access, hotels, gifts and city experiences. The A Stand Plus 3-day pass offers exclusive merch and activity lotteries. The Platinum Experience combines accommodation and prime seating for a "race + travel" weekend. The E Stand Fan Zone and "Cheer for China Week" will feature themed items, including merchandise designed by Zhou Guanyu, China's first F1 driver. VIP hospitality spaces such as the Sprint Club, Turn 1 Club, Main Grandstand Lounge and Paddock Club will provide premium service, fine dining and special souvenirs.

Preparations for 2026 have begun, with upgrades to venue services and more interactive fan activities planned. The popular Grid Festival will also return, linking major city landmarks and bringing racing culture into everyday life.

As the 2025 racing season nears its finale – with McLaren already securing the Constructors' title – the excitement grows. Shanghai looks forward to welcoming global fans in 2026 for another unforgettable F1 weekend.
