SailGP will conclude its 2026 season with two events in the United Arab Emirates, bringing the championship to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The penultimate round of the season will take place in Dubai from November 21-22 at the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix, presented by DP World. A week later, on November 28-29, the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix 2026 Season Grand Final, a USD $2 million event hosted by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, will be held at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.
This marks the first time the championship will be held at Emirates Palace, a luxurious waterfront landmark known for its grand architecture and panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf. The final Abu Dhabi berth and the battle for the winner-takes-all title are both wide open, with Australia's Bonds Flying Roos currently leading the standings.
The season, featuring 13 international teams racing the F50 catamarans, has been SailGP's largest to date.
