Main Race
If you're looking to catch just the main race,
Sunday is key, but
if you truly want to immerse yourself in the F1 atmosphere,
arriving on October 1st and attending from the 2nd to the 4th,
a 3-night/4-day or 4-night/5-day itinerary is most ideal.
Starting August 15th, 2026,
ticket sales for the Malaysia Sepang F1 have officially begun.
For international visitors, including Koreans, who are not Malaysian citizens,
the official ticket prices are as follows.
General Admission
3-day Pass, per person, from $219
~
Main Grandstand Main Grandstand
3-day Pass, per person, $566
Please note that the special discounted prices
available for Malaysian citizens are not applicable to foreigners.
If you are visiting from Korea, you must
select tickets designated for International Fans!!!!!
Official tickets can also be purchased through the Bahrain International Circuit
ticket website, but
With so many tickets currently unavailable for direct booking,
it's best to simply relax and
I recommend booking your tickets through Klook.

2026 Malaysia F1 Formula
Circuit Layout and Ticket Information
- How to Get to Malaysia's Sepang F1 Circuit
The 2026 Malaysia F1 race
will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
at the Sepang International Circuit, located right next to the airport.
The Sepang International Circuit is
situated south of Kuala Lumpur city center
and close to KLIA airport.
If you're traveling from Kuala Lumpur city center,
the most likely option is to take the airport express train from KL Sentral
towards KLIA,
then use official shuttle services or designated transportation.
However, flights to Kuala Lumpur right now
have seen a significant price hike (across Asia, actually…)
Especially from Korea, where it coincides with a holiday, prices started from about ~$345, right?
The very next day, I saw them starting from around ~$483.
So, book your flights as soon as possible!
Recommended Hotels and Accommodation Near Malaysia F1 Circuit
As this is a suddenly added event
(and especially in Korea, it coincides with a holiday),
not only tickets but also Kuala Lumpur flights
and accommodation around Sepang are rapidly increasing in price.
Since ticket sales have already begun,
if you're planning to attend live, I recommend comparing flight and accommodation options
together first.

2026 Malaysia F1 Accommodation Locations
Sepang F1 accommodation generally falls into two main categories:
the KLIA/Sepang area and Kuala Lumpur city center.
Rather than one area being inherently better than the other,
you should choose based on whether you prioritize race viewing or city exploration.
🏎️
1.
KLIA/Sepang
- F1 attendance is the main purpose of your trip
- You plan to watch all three days of F1 races, from Friday to Sunday
- You're taking an early or late flight
- You want to minimize long-distance travel after the race
✔️The Sepang Circuit is near Kuala Lumpur International Airport, so
staying at a hotel around KLIA
makes getting to the F1 circuit easier than from Kuala Lumpur city center.
Especially after the Sunday final race,
a huge number of spectators will be leaving all at once,
Staying near the airport and Sepang offers increasing advantages.
However, the hotel options are
fewer than in Kuala Lumpur city center.
Sama-Sama Hotel Kuala Lumpur International Airport
Directly connected to Kuala Lumpur Airport,
this 5-star hotel boasts excellent accessibility.
If you're arriving late at the airport or your top priority is seamless convenience,
this is definitely the first place to check out.
Starting from ~$138~
Mövenpick Hotel & Convention Centre KLIA
A spacious hotel conveniently located near the airport,
it's perfect if you're looking for comfortable and well-maintained facilities.
Starting from ~$83
ibis Styles Sepang KLIA
Located conveniently close to Malaysia's Sepang Circuit and Kuala Lumpur Airport,
it's highly recommended if you're looking to enjoy a refreshing swim and some genuine relaxation.
Starting from ~$76~
2. Kuala Lumpur City Accommodation
If you're looking to combine the thrill of F1 with a fantastic Kuala Lumpur adventure, or
if you plan to catch just one day of the F1 race and spend the rest of your time
exploring Malaysia's vibrant offerings (shopping, delicious local eats, lively bars, and buzzing nightlife),
then basing yourself in Kuala Lumpur's city center is a brilliant idea.
The great thing about staying in Kuala Lumpur city center is that
your choices for hotels, restaurants, and more become incredibly vast!
However, be aware that travel time to the circuit will be longer on race day, and
there's also the potential for traffic congestion,
so it's crucial to leave with plenty of time to spare.
KL Sentral
This area is incredibly convenient for using the airport express train.
If you're looking to strike a perfect balance between getting to Sepang and exploring the city sights,
hotels around KL Sentral are a practical and smart choice.
KLCC
Home to the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, sprawling shopping malls,
and a cluster of luxury hotels and trendy rooftop bars.
Beyond the excitement of F1, if you want to experience the quintessential Kuala Lumpur
urban getaway, then KLCC is definitely your spot.
Bukit Bintang
It offers great access to shopping malls, restaurants, and night markets.
Perfect for travelers who want to visit the circuit during the day
and enjoy the city's nightlife in the evening.
If you simply want to watch the final race,
Sunday is key, but
if you want to fully immerse yourself in the F1 atmosphere,
arriving on October 1st and attending from the 2nd to the 4th,
a 3-night, 4-day or 4-night, 5-day itinerary is the most ideal.
You can watch the Malaysia F1 Formula race broadcast on Coupang Play.
