Azerbaijan Grand Prix: Everything you need to know

The dust has barely settled on the 2025 Formula One season but we’re driving full speed into the next one! Lando Norris made history last year to secure his first title and with more full-throttle action set to come in 2026, we’re going to be there every step of the way. 

You’re invited to join us in our exclusive hospitality areas, where you’ll be able to witness the best races on the planet. Plus, for the first time, Engage are offering access to the prestigious F1® Paddock Club, giving you a front row seat to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and plenty more top events on the calendar.  

When is the Azerbaijan Grand Prix? 

Once again the Formula One world will flock to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which takes place on Sunday 26th September. It’s one of the younger events on the calendar, having first been held in 2017. 

It was the host of the 2016 European Grand Prix and its success may have convinced F1® bosses to make it a regular fixture. Every year, locals head out in their droves to watch the event on the Baku City Circuit that is raced on the streets of the capital. 

This year’s race will only be the 9th edition of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix but there are plenty more to come – it is scheduled to be held there until at least 2030. And as it’s fairly new, only two drivers have won there on more than one occasion. 

Sergio Perez raced to victory in both 2021 and 2023, while Max Verstappen came out on top in 2021 and 2025. Remarkably, despite winning the Drivers’ Championship four years on the spin, Verstappen only claimed one victory in Baku during his years of dominance. 

Back in 2024, Australian driver Oscar Piastri took the crown. His McLaren teammate Norris is looking to claim his maiden victory in the race this year. Norris won the title for the first time last year following a season-long battle with both Piastri and Verstappen.
