Overview
With F1 set to begin a new era with a host of transformative new regulations and an 11th team joining the grid, six days of testing will be held in Sakhir from 11 to 13 February and from 18 to 20 February. It will be the first chance for F1 fans to witness in person the next generation of F1 cars in action ahead of the start of the 2026 campaign.
Fans will be able to access the tests on the last two days of each three-day session – first on 12 and 13 February and then again on 19 and 20 February.
