Fans heading to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this December have an updated app to carry them through race week.
The app isn’t optional for ticket holders. Every one of them has to create an account in the app or log in with the email they used to buy their tickets. Anyone who bought through yasmarinacircuit.com has to create a ticketmaster.ae account first.
The update brings integrated digital services for race-week fans, according to WAM, the UAE’s state news agency. It’s unclear exactly which features are new, and the organisers haven’t spelt that out. On the official Abu Dhabi GP site, they pitch the app simply:
Access, manage, and get ready for race week—all from your phone.

In practice, the app holds your tickets for the race and the concerts, along with upgrades and inclusions. Last year’s version also scanned tickets at the circuit entry, shared tickets with friends, and sent notifications on on-track and off-track events, in English and Arabic.
The off-track side is busy. The Yasalam concerts, presented by e&, open on Thursday with Zara Larsson and Lewis Capaldi. Imagine Dragons play on Saturday, and The Chainsmokers and The Script close Sunday, with more acts still to be revealed. A Golden Circle upgrade gets you closest to the stage, fast-track entry, and dedicated beverage points. Anyma presents ÆDEN, the official after-party, at Yas Gateway Park on 4 December. Holders of 3-Day and 4-Day tickets also get free entry and discounts across Abu Dhabi venues.
The race is the Formula 1 season finale, and it takes place at Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi’s entertainment island. Yas Island has a packed run of November shows before the cars arrive, and visitors can already ride driverless Ubers around it.
The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 runs from 3 to 6 December. Ticket holders who haven’t signed in yet can set up their account now, before the gates open.
