Race Hub
Get ready for one of the biggest parties in F1. Here’s everything you need to know before attending the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix weekend on 30 October 30 - 1 November!
It has been just over a decade since the redesigned Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez hosted the return of Formula 1 to Mexico. This is the circuit’s third stint on the calendar, having first appeared in the 1960s before being revived from 1986 to 1992.
The 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix is set to be one to remember for home fans, with Sergio Perez - the only Mexican driver to score a podium finish at home - returning to the grid in 2026 with the new Cadillac team. Weekend attendance has grown to over 400,000 in Mexico in recent years and the upward trend looks set to continue in 2026.
The final tickets for the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix are on sale now via Grand Prix Events. As well as tickets in the Main Grandstand, overlooking the grid and pit lane, seats are also available in the famous Foro Sol stadium section, where you’ll see the cars navigate Turns 13-15 before joining in the post-race fiesta as the podium celebrations get underway.
