The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix returns to Yas Marina Circuit from 3 to 6 December 2026. It is the final race weekend of the season, and Abu Dhabi has hosted Formula 1 since 2009. This year race weekend starts the day after Eid Al Etihad, so many hotels, cafes and offices will run one long celebration from National Day straight into the Grand Prix.

Key dates for race week

2 and 3 December 2026: UAE National Day public holiday (expected dates).
3 to 6 December 2026: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend at Yas Marina Circuit, with concerts and hospitality across Yas Island.
Late November: the best time to have your backdrops, flags and print ready, so you can promote viewing parties a week or two before the race.

Who should plan Grand Prix branding

Hotels and serviced apartments on Yas Island, Saadiyat and across Abu Dhabi
Cafes, lounges and restaurants showing the race on big screens
Car dealers, garages, tyre shops and detailing studios running race week offers
Corporate teams hosting clients for viewing parties or hospitality

Viewing party branding checklist

Photo backdrop: a straight media display (about 305 x 305 cm) with your logo and a chequered pattern makes the photo spot guests share on social media.
Neon sign: a custom neon sign with a line like “Race Night” or “Lights Out” gives a lounge or bar the right mood.
Flags at the entrance: feather flags show passing traffic that you are screening the race.
Roll up banners: a roll up banner at reception with the race schedule and your offer.
Table tents: table tents with the menu, set deals and session times.
Window graphics: static clings for countdowns and offers. They peel off cleanly after race week.

Corporate hospitality and client gifts

Printed event tickets and invitation cards for your guest list. Our invitation card guide explains paper and finishes.
Crystal trophies or medals for a podium prediction contest among clients or staff.
Custom t shirts for staff hosting the event.
Custom stickers for gift bags and packaging.

A note on Formula 1 logos

Formula 1 names and logos are trademarks. Unless you are an official partner, use your own design: your logo, race weekend wording, chequered patterns, speed lines and your brand colours. It looks just as good and keeps you on the safe side.

Plan National Day and the Grand Prix together

Because the two events run back to back, you can order once and keep one look across both. See our UAE National Day 2026 guide and the UAE National Day collection for flags, scarves and gifts, then add your race week pieces to the same order.
