F1 Singapore 2026 Schedule: Every Session Time for the Sprint Weekend

The F1 Singapore schedule is compressed into a sprint weekend at Marina Bay Street Circuit. This F1 Singapore 2026 schedule covers every session in the official Singapore Grand Prix schedule, from Friday practice to Sunday's 62-lap F1 Singapore GP. The confirmed F1 Singapore dates are 9 to 11 October 2026, and every time below is Singapore local time.

The sequence matters for planning. Friday has First Practice followed by Sprint Qualifying. Saturday has the Sprint in the late afternoon and Qualifying at night. Sunday closes the programme with the Grand Prix under the lights. The official timetable is published by Formula 1 and can be checked at the official Singapore 2026 timetable.

F1 Singapore 2026 Schedule at a Glance

The complete official on-track timetable is set out below. All start and finish times use Singapore local time, so no conversion is needed once you are in the city.

• Friday 9 October: First Practice, 16:30 to 17:30; Sprint Qualifying, 20:30 to 21:14.
• Saturday 10 October: Sprint, 17:00 to 17:30; Qualifying, 21:00 to 22:00.
• Sunday 11 October: Grand Prix, 20:00 to 22:00; 62 laps.

These are the five sessions published for the weekend. Support-series details and television broadcast times are not included here. Anyone arranging travel, dining or evening plans should work from the local session times rather than a converted broadcast listing.

Friday: The F1 Singapore Schedule Begins

First Practice runs from 16:30 to 17:30 on Friday 9 October. It is the only practice session listed in the official Singapore timetable. Sprint Qualifying follows from 20:30 to 21:14, bringing the first evening session of the weekend to Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Friday establishes the sprint-weekend rhythm: a late-afternoon session, a break, then a night session. Amber Lounge does not hold a Friday event in Singapore in 2026. Its programme begins on Saturday, so Friday remains the point to follow the two circuit sessions without an Amber Lounge opening time to consider.

Saturday: F1 Singapore GP Sprint and Qualifying

The Sprint runs from 17:00 to 17:30 on Saturday 10 October. Qualifying then runs from 21:00 to 22:00. That creates two distinct parts to Saturday at the circuit: the Sprint in the late afternoon and Qualifying after dark.

Amber Penthouse, the race-viewing hospitality at The Fullerton Lighthouse, opens from 16:00 and runs till late on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, that opening is before the 17:00 Sprint. It is a separate two-day booking at a different building from Amber Lounge.

Amber Lounge opens at Clifford Pier, The Fullerton Bay Hotel, at 21:00 on Saturday. That is the same time Qualifying begins, and Qualifying is scheduled to finish at 22:00. Guests following the complete circuit session can therefore treat the 21:00 door time as the opening of the private event rather than a deadline to arrive. No artist set times or running order have been published.

Sunday: Singapore Grand Prix Schedule and Evening Plans

The Grand Prix runs from 20:00 to 22:00 on Sunday 11 October and is listed for 62 laps. It is the only official circuit session shown for Sunday, bringing the F1 Singapore GP weekend to its conclusion at Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Amber Penthouse again opens from 16:00 and runs till late. Amber Lounge at Clifford Pier opens at 21:00, while the Grand Prix is scheduled to continue until 22:00. As on Saturday, the private event's doors open before the final circuit session is due to finish. The timetable allows guests to plan around the race rather than assume that the event starts only after the circuit closes.

Clifford Pier is at The Fullerton Bay Hotel, 80 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049326. The Fullerton Lighthouse is at The Fullerton Hotel, 1 Fullerton Sq, Singapore 049178. The separate names and addresses are important when planning the two hospitality settings.

What Sprint Qualifying and the Sprint Mean

Sprint Qualifying is the Friday evening session named in the official timetable after First Practice. The Sprint is the separate Saturday session scheduled before Qualifying. Together, they are the defining additions in this Singapore sprint-weekend programme.

The practical difference from a non-sprint weekend is visible directly in the session list. Singapore has one First Practice session, then Sprint Qualifying on Friday, the Sprint and Qualifying on Saturday, and the Grand Prix on Sunday. The format gives both Friday and Saturday a competitive session before the main race.

Marina Bay Street Circuit opened in 2008 and staged the first night race in F1 history that year. A 2023 layout change reduced the corner count from 23 to 19. Those details explain the setting, but the planning essentials remain the local start and finish times listed above.

How the F1 Singapore Dates Fit with Amber Lounge

Amber Lounge Singapore runs for two nights only in 2026: Saturday 10 October and Sunday 11 October, with doors at 21:00 on both nights. Saturday's door time coincides with the start of Qualifying. Sunday's door time falls midway through the published Grand Prix window. The event and the circuit programme are separate, so guests can choose their arrival around the session they intend to follow.

Amber Lounge is an independent private event and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Formula 1, the FIA or the race promoter, and a race ticket is not required to attend. Circuit tickets and official hospitality are sold through their respective official channels, not by Amber Lounge.
