Mubadala Abu Dhabi SGP Season Grand Final

Date: 28 November 2026

Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Organizer: SailGP

SailGP's 2026 season ends here. Abu Dhabi hosts the Mubadala Abu Dhabi SGP Season Grand Final on 28 and 29 November 2026, the last of thirteen events in the Rolex SailGP Championship's sixth season. The format gives the weekend its edge: fleet racing sets the standings, then the three leading teams go into one deciding match race. Win that and you are champion, with a one million dollar prize; lose it and a whole season of results counts for little. The boats are F50s, one-design foiling catamarans that fly above the water on hydrofoils at speeds approaching 100 km/h. Abu Dhabi staged the Season 5 final in 2025 and returns as host of the decider, one week after the Dubai event that closes the regular run of the calendar. Late November conditions in the Gulf are usually kind to spectators: warm, dry, and with enough breeze to foil.
