Bahrain International Circuit has launched tickets for this month’s Formula 1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing 2026, giving fans four days of public access as the new F1 season begins on track.

Having announced the launch of ticket sales for Formula 1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing 2026, Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is offering fans the opportunity to see the next generation of F1 cars in action ahead of the new season.

With F1 beginning a new era with transformative regulations and an 11th team joining the grid, six days of testing will be held in Sakhir from February 11 to 13 and from February 18 to 20. Fans will be able to access the tests on the last two days of each three-day session – first on February 12 and 13 and then again on February 19 and 20. This will be the sixth consecutive year that Sakhir has hosted F1’s most important preparation period ahead of the new world championship. Testing was first held in Bahrain in 2009 and then again in 2014, before returning annually from 2021. The event will bring together all 11 F1 teams and it will be the first chance for fans to see the brand-new Cadillac F1 Team, who are set to join McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull Racing, Williams, Haas, Racing Bulls, Aston Martin, Alpine and Audi.

The pre-season tests will set the stage for the opening round of the 2026 season, which begins with the Australian Grand Prix from March 6 to 8. The season will continue with races in China and Japan, before returning to the Kingdom for the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix from April 10 to 12 – the fourth round of the 24-race world championship.

Tickets to the pre-season testing are priced at BD10 per day for adults and BD5 per day for children. There is also free access on both open days of the second Bahrain test (February 19 and 20) for all who purchased tickets to the Bahrain Grand Prix 2026 during BIC’s Early Bird promotion (tickets bought before September 8, 2025).

Exclusive hospitality packages will also be available, featuring the best views of the action right above the pit lane, along with five-star cuisine and beverage selections throughout the day. For the first week of testing, hospitality will be available on February 12 and 13, priced at BD539.11 per day and bookable by calling 1745 1086. Contact the same number for hospitality enquiries regarding the second week of testing. ✤
