The Bahrain Grand Prix, originally scheduled for April but canceled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, will now be held in Malaysia from October 2–4, 2026, according to Formula 1 organizers. This change comes after the cancellation of races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, as well as uncertainty surrounding upcoming events in Qatar and Abu Dhabi. The event will be hosted at the Sepang International Circuit near Kuala Lumpur, which last held an F1 race in 2017. Bahrain will bear a significant portion of the costs associated with rescheduling the race. The move aims to maintain a full Formula 1 calendar, with the race fitting between the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grand Prix. However, the final two races of the season—originally planned for Qatar and Abu Dhabi—are still uncertain, with potential alternatives including races in Las Vegas or European circuits like Imola and Portimao.
