Abu Dhabi to Host SailGP’s $2 Million Grand Final at Emirates Palace

SailGP’s 2026 Season Grand Final lands in Abu Dhabi on November 28-29, with the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix presented by Abu Dhabi Sports Council deciding the USD $2 million championship. For the first time, the event races in front of Emirates Palace, the waterfront landmark hosting a SailGP fleet for the first time.

Bonds Flying Roos currently lead the season standings, but with the podium contenders separated by tight margins all year, the title is expected to go down to the final fleet race on Abu Dhabi’s closing day.
