Singapore GP 2026: How much does it cost to watch the F1 race?

The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix concluded on October 5, with Mercedes' George Russell taking the victory, followed by Red Bull's Max Verstappen and McLaren's Lando Norris.

During the race weekend, several Filipino celebrities were spotted in the stands, including David Licauco and Catriona Gray, who flew to Singapore to catch the action live.

Known as the "Home of the F1 Night Race," Singapore is the only Southeast Asian country to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix. For Filipino fans, it's the closest and most accessible destination to experience the thrill of F1 in person.

If you're planning to watch the Singapore Grand Prix next year, happening from October 9 to 11, 2026, here's an estimate of how much you'll need to budget.

Airfare

As of writing, flights to Singapore from the Philippines for early October 2026 are already available, ranging from P8,000 to P12,000. Prices may change depending on the time of booking and available promos.

Tip: Book early and watch out for seat sales to get the best deals.

Travel Tax

If you're flying out from the Philippines, you'll need to pay the travel tax:

• P1,620: Economy and Business Class
• P2,700: First Class

You can pay your travel tax online through the TIEZA website: https://tieza.gov.ph/travel-tax/

Accommodation

There's a wide range of accommodation in Singapore, from hostels and Airbnbs to luxury hotels with a view of the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

According to Agoda, accommodation per night ranges from P1,000 to as high as P40,000.

If you want a front-row view of the track, Marina Bay Sands remains a top choice (room rates for October 2026 are not yet available as of writing).

F1 tickets

Tickets for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix are available at www.singaporegp.sg.

As of writing, the Super Early Bird Tickets are already sold out, but Early Bird Tickets will be available from October 13 to November 2.

Here are the Early Bird rates for 3-day passes (October 9–11), shown in Singapore dollars and Philippine pesos, with approximate conversions based on current exchange rates.

For Junior tickets available on the Pit Grandstand, the ticketholder must not be older than 16 years old on the day of entry.

In March, it was reported that Thailand is aiming to host a Grand Prix on a Bangkok street circuit by 2028.

Nothing is set in stone as of writing, but if it proceeds, Thailand would become the second Southeast Asian country to host a Formula 1 race on the calendar. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
