Formula 1 moves onto Singapore for the final stop in a triple header, with the Marina Bay Street Circuit set to host Round 17 of the 2026 season – and here are the global start times for Sunday’s race.
George Russell’s title hopes suffered another blow as he retired from the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, enabling team mate Kimi Antonelli to extend his lead in the drivers’ standings to a commanding 84 points. But even he couldn’t match Max Verstappen, who clinched victory for the first time this year – will he be able to repeat the feat in Singapore, or will Antonelli return to the top?
Head to the RACE HUB or scroll down for more on how and when you can watch the action, along with the global start times for each session.
What time is the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix?
Singapore will hold the final Sprint of the season, which means drivers will only have one hour of Free Practice to find their rhythm at the track. That will begin at 1630 local time on Friday, 9 October before Sprint Qualifying follows at 2030.
The Sprint gets underway at 1700 on Saturday, 10 October ahead of Qualifying under the lights at 2100, while the Grand Prix itself takes place at 2000 on Sunday, 11 October.

Where is the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix taking place?
Since making its debut in 2008, the Marina Bay Street Circuit has hosted every edition of the Singapore Grand Prix and delivered some of the most dramatic street races in recent memory.
The bulk of the action takes place at night against the stunning backdrop of the city skyline, but the temperatures and humidity barely go down despite the timing, making it one of the most physically demanding events of the season.
It’s been the site of both heartbreak and triumph, with Sebastian Vettel winning a record five times between 2011 and 2019.
What is the weather forecast in Singapore?
Conditions are currently expected to be very warm and humid, with temperatures reaching 32 Celsius. There’s a chance of rain across Friday and Saturday which could impact driving conditions, but no precipitation is forecast for Sunday’s Grand Prix.
