F1 Bahrain Testing: How you can watch it all LIVE for just £19
The official 2026 pre-season tests are approaching, but full coverage will not be aired during the first week of F1 testing in Bahrain, as only the last hour of on-track action will be televised by Sky Sports. Williams chose to conduct their own virtual tests, leading to a lack of public access to timings and data from the pre-season shakedown in Barcelona, where only select media were permitted.
There are still tickets available on the official Bahrain International Circuit website for F1 fans to watch the last two days of both week one and week two testing in Sakhir, on February 12, 13, 19, and 20, 2026. Adult tickets start from £19, with the option to purchase a hospitality ticket for £1045.30 per day for an exclusive F1 experience.
Flight costs to Bahrain for the testing days on February 12 and 13 vary from £199 to £429 for a one-way trip, requiring fans to assess if the journey is worthwhile. Local currency prices for Bahrain F1 testing tickets range from BHD 5.00 (£9.69) for children to BHD 10.00 (£19.39) for adults.
Fans already in Bahrain or willing to make the trip can secure their tickets for the F1 testing sessions and experience the excitement firsthand, offering a unique opportunity to witness the 2026 engines in action.
