Malaysian MotoGP 2026: Sepang hosts the Grand Prix from 30 October, with free entry on Friday

MotoGP returns to Malaysia next week. The Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia runs from Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November 2026 at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit, with the Sprint on Saturday and the Grand Prix on Sunday.

For fans who want a first look without a ticket, the circuit has confirmed that entry on Friday 30 October is free to all seat zones. Saturday and Sunday need a valid ticket.

Last year's Malaysian Grand Prix drew 190,977 spectators, the highest attendance in the event's history, according to MotoGP and the circuit.

Home fans will also have a tribune named after Hakim Danish, the Malaysian rider racing in Moto3.

The weekend comes a few months after the government secured the race's future. The Cabinet approved a new contract on 15 April 2026, and on 1 July the Ministry of Youth and Sports and MotoGP confirmed that Sepang will host the Malaysian round every year from 2027 to 2031.

Youth and Sports Minister Taufiq Johari announced the renewal together with MotoGP chief executive Carmelo Ezpeleta, who called Malaysia "an important market for MotoGP, where we have a strong fanbase".
