> The 2026 race has ended. This guide now covers the next race and keeps 2026 as the price record. Results and attendance come from reports published on 1 and 2 November 2026. The 2027 dates and ticket status, the final zone status and the 2026 rules were read on 2 November 2026 from MotoGP's calendar and ticket store, and from Sepang International Circuit's (SIC) event page, FAQ and Spectator Guide.
If you searched for MotoGP Sepang tickets now, the short answer is that the next race is about a year away and its grandstand tickets are not on sale. The useful thing you can do today is put the dates in your calendar and sign up for the on-sale alert, because the cheapest zones sold out in 2026 and the prices may not hold.
The next race: 22-24 October 2027
MotoGP's provisional 2027 calendar puts the PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia on 22-24 October 2027, a week after Motegi and a week before Mandalika. That is about a week earlier than this year. Provisional dates can move, so hold off on non-refundable flights and hotels until SIC opens its own sale.
The race has a home until 2031. MotoGP announced on 1 July 2026 that a new contract, approved by the Malaysian government, keeps it at Sepang from 2027 to 2031.
Two more dates are worth knowing:
- Deepavali is Thursday 28 October 2027, the week after the race, so the two do not clash. Sarawak does not observe it.
- The first official 2027 pre-season running is at Sepang. A shakedown for test riders and rookies runs 29-30 January, then the full-grid test on 31 January and 1 February. The class moves to 850cc in 2027, so 2026 was the last 1,000cc race here. We found no announcement on public entry or ticketing for these tests.
Can you buy 2027 tickets yet?
Not for a grandstand. Read on 2 November 2026:
- SIC's ticketing page (sepangcircuit.com) still lists the 2026 event and has no 2027 MotoGP sale. This is the channel to watch for the RM prices, including any MyKad zone.
- MotoGP's official ticket store lists the 2027 race and says grandstand packages "will be available soon", with a form to register for the alert. Its 2027 page is built around hospitality such as the VIP Village, not budget seats.
There is no published 2027 grandstand price or sale date from either channel. Anyone quoting one is guessing, or selling something you should not trust.
Will tickets cost more in 2027?
They might. SIC CEO Azhan Shafriman Hanif said on 28 October that the circuit is considering a review of MotoGP ticket prices, last reviewed around 2022. The pressure is structural: SIC starts paying 10% of annual hosting and organising costs in 2027, rising to 50% by 2031.
He set two conditions: any rise should not burden fans too much, and the spectator experience has to improve first, naming giant screens, sound systems, water and shade. No amount or date was given, so treat the 2026 prices below as a reference and not a promise.
Demand gives SIC room to move. It reported more than 52,000 of 56,000 tickets sold, its best since the pandemic, and it is still aiming for 200,000 spectators.
What happened in 2026
Attendance: 196,542 over three days, reported as a fourth straight record and just short of the 200,000 target: 35,967 on the free Friday, 68,468 on Saturday and 92,107 on Sunday. These are daily entries, not people, which is how 52,000 three-day tickets and a free Friday add up to nearly 200,000.
Results: Marc Marquez won Sunday's MotoGP race, 4.172 seconds ahead of Pedro Acosta, with Alex Marquez third. Acosta won Saturday's sprint. In Moto3, Maximo Quiles won and Malaysia's Hakim Danish finished fourth after starting third, running wide at the last corner in the fight for the podium.
The track: riders complained about the surface, and SIC says it will close the circuit temporarily for remedial work, likely finished before the January tests. Full or partial resurfacing depends on the post-race report. The last full resurface was in early 2016. Check the event calendar before booking a track day in the coming months.
The fake-pass arrest, and what it means for buyers
SIC said a temporary staff member hired for the event was arrested on 31 October over counterfeit passes. Reports describe fake Perdana Suite passes sold at the entrance for up to RM250, and one buyer paying RM230. NST reported on 2 November that two temporary staff were on remand and that the CEO said the passes were produced internally. SIC says these passes were never authorised for public sale and that it does not recognise purchases from unauthorised third parties.
The lesson is simple: a suite pass for RM250 was too cheap to be real when an ordinary Premier Seat cost RM640. Do not buy at the gate from anyone but the official ticket counter. Passing your own ticket to a friend or relative is allowed under the 2026 FAQ; buying from a stranger is the risk.
What each zone cost in 2026, and which sold out
Per person, for all three days, with the status SIC's page still showed on 2 November:
- K2 Hillstand, RM49.90 (MyKad holders only). Sold out. A grass bank overlooking Turns 3 and 4, with heavy braking and overtaking. Toilets and a food kiosk, but no giant screen, so you follow the race by ear (live commentary has been on 102.1 FM).
- F Grandstand, RM143.75. Sold out. Close to the tight double apex at Turns 7 and 8, with one giant screen.
- K1 Grandstand, RM206.25. Sold out. Turns 1 and 2, the best view of the start and the first-lap scramble. One screen.
- Marc Marquez Tribune at K1, RM256.25. Sold out. The fan zone at the first corner. The booking page sold it at RM256.25, though a summary table on the same SIC page showed RM425.
- Main Grandstand, RM345. 2,100 left. Covered seating on the start-finish straight facing the pit lane, with five giant screens. General admission, so first come, first seated.
- Hakim Danish Tribune, RM425. 180 left. Reserved seating in the Main Grandstand opposite his pit, with a cap and flag.
- Premier Roving, RM510. 350 left. Access to Main, K1, F and K2, with a shuttle between the Welcome Centre and F Grandstand. It did not cover the tribunes.
- Premier Seat, RM640. Sold out. Reserved seat opposite the starting grid, with Saturday and Sunday lunch, free-flow soft drinks and a goody bag.
- Hospitality: MotoGP VIP Village two-day (EUR 2,370.60) and Sunday (EUR 2,014.20) passes sold out. The Club Suite was RM4,229.28 per adult.
- Night Track Tour, RM540. A separate after-dark lap on a double-decker bus, with stops at Turn 11 (the Simoncelli memorial), Turn 15 and the starting grid.
Friday was free for all seat zones, and the public pit lane walk and autograph session ran that day from 5pm to 6pm. Only grandstand ticket holders could queue for it, so K2 tickets did not qualify.
The 2026 four-ticket bundle saved 15%
The booking page offered a Bundle of 4 on most zones. If it returns in 2027, this is the deal to check first:
- Main Grandstand: RM1,173 for four, or RM293.25 each (saved RM207).
- K1 Grandstand: RM701.24, or RM175.31 each (saved RM123.76).
- F Grandstand: RM488.75, or RM122.19 each (saved RM86.25).
- Marc Marquez Tribune: RM871.25, or RM217.81 each (saved RM153.75).
- Premier Roving: RM1,734, or RM433.50 each (saved RM306).
- Hakim Danish Tribune: RM1,700, exactly four times RM425. No saving.
- K2 Hillstand: no bundle.
For three people in the Main Grandstand, four bundled tickets (RM1,173) cost only RM138 more than three singles (RM1,035).
The 2026 rules, as a guide to 2027
These come from SIC's 2026 FAQ and Spectator Guide. The 2026 FAQ appeared only weeks before the race, so expect to re-check the 2027 edition late.
- No one-day tickets. Every ticket covered all three days.
- Children aged 7 and above needed a ticket. Grandstand listings had no child price; VIP Village passes did. SIC strongly recommends earplugs for children.
- OKU: 50% off Main Grandstand general admission, bought in person at the circuit's ticket counter with a valid OKU card.
- No refunds. You could upgrade at the Welcome Centre by paying the difference, but not downgrade.
- Banned at the gate: outside food and drink, single-use plastic bottles, glass, alcohol, drones, flares, pets, long umbrellas and portable chairs. You may bring one reusable bottle or tumbler, and there are refill stations around the circuit.
Getting there, on 2026's arrangements
- Car parking, per day: Standard (PZ, Bays 4 to 17) RM20, Premium (Helipad, Bays 2 and 3) RM50, Premier (Bay 1, PX) RM100, valet (P SIC) RM170. Illegally parked cars risk a RM250 towing fee.
- Motorbikes, per day: Standard (Bay 12) RM10, Premier (PA1, P Dynamic) RM30.
- Buses: paid services ran from KLCC, Pasar Seni, Putrajaya Sentral, KL Sentral, KLIA Terminal 1 and KLIA Terminal 2 to P Bus, leaving from 7am to 1pm and returning from 4pm to 7pm. Allow about 1 hour 15 minutes from KLCC or Pasar Seni. Free internal shuttles ran inside the circuit.
- Sunday timing: Moto3 at 12pm, Moto2 at 1:15pm and MotoGP at 3pm.
Which ticket to aim for in 2027
- On a tight budget with a MyKad: K2, if the zone returns, plus any free Friday. It sold out in 2026, so move early. Bring a hat and a compact umbrella, and expect to sit on the grass.
- Want to see the start: K1 or the tribune beside it. Both sold out, so do not leave these until October.
- Family with young children, or rain-averse: the covered Main Grandstand, ideally as a bundle if offered. It had the most stock in 2026.
- Want to watch from everywhere: Premier Roving, the ticket that let you move between grandstands.
