The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will proceed as scheduled from December 4 to 6, 2026, at Yas Marina Circuit. Formula 1 has cancelled the standby arrangement with Italy's Imola circuit, which had been preparing to host a replacement race if both the Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounds were cancelled. The Qatar Grand Prix also remains on the calendar for November 27–29 at Lusail International Circuit. F1 said it could still cancel the races if conditions in the region deteriorate, and that the safety of everyone will always be the priority. Government travel advice continues to allow travel to both countries, insurance remains valid, and all 11 teams have backed the decision to finish the season in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
