For the third consecutive campaign, the Qatar 1812km will kickstart the hunt for honours in the FIA World Endurance Championship next year – and tickets have today gone on sale for those eager to catch a first glimpse of the 2026 grid up close.
Named in honour of the Middle Eastern country’s National Day, the Qatar 1812km takes the form of a thrilling ten-hour, day-into-night race around the state-of-the-art Lusail International Circuit (LIC).
Surrounded by desert, LIC’s smooth, high-speed 5.419km layout poses a number of unique challenges and pushes drivers, cars and tyres right to the limit, with the previous two editions having delivered epic action and a hefty dose of drama.
The 2026 curtain-raising contest will take place from 26-28 March, with three-day tickets priced at just 50 Qatari Riyal and discounted entry available for students and senior citizens. Underscoring the event’s family-friendly nature, children aged under 12 will be admitted free-of-charge.
All tickets will provide access to the entertainment-filled Fan Zone and two prime viewing areas – the Main Grandstand and Lusail Hill. While the former offers an excellent view of the start/finish line and pit-lane, the latter is a dedicated elevated viewing platform located at Turn One, providing spectators with an unparalleled vantage point of one of the most exciting parts of the track as the Hypercar and LMGT3 protagonists chase early-season bragging rights.
To secure your place at the heart of the action next March, head over to the circuit’s official ticket sales website.
