Starting on September 4, the Formula 1 circus will return to Monza, in the heart of the legendary Monza Park, for the 97th Italian Grand Prix. The race will take place on Sunday, September 6, but the weekend kicks off on Friday with free practice sessions. If you’re planning to attend one of the season’s most iconic races, here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 Monza Grand Prix, from how to buy tickets to the full weekend schedule.
2026 Monza GP Tickets: Where to Buy and How Much They Cost
Official tickets for the 2026 Monza Grand Prix are already available on TicketOne (www.ticketone.it) and through authorized partner websites. Prices vary depending on the type of admission and the day you choose to attend.
For those looking to save money, General Admission tickets remain the most affordable option: starting at 50 euros on Friday, 70 euros on Saturday, and 100 euros on Sunday. These tickets grant you access to the natural grandstand areas around the circuit, such as the Curva Grande, the Curva di Lesmo, and the famous Parabolica (now Curva Alboreto), as well as the straight leading up to the Variante Ascari chicane, where overtaking is frequent and the action never stops.
If you prefer comfort and a better view, the numbered grandstands are mid-range in price and offer seats with excellent views of specific sections of the track. VIP experiences include access to exclusive lounges, the paddock, and top-tier amenities—ideal for those who want to enjoy the weekend in the utmost comfort.
You can purchase a ticket for a single day or for the entire weekend: the three-day pass often offers the best value for those planning to attend all sessions. Once purchased, the ticket remains valid for the entire event, even if you don’t use it on every day.
Please note that children 11 and under have free admission to the circular lawn, while reduced rates apply to grandstand seats. People with disabilities who have a disability rating of 75% or higher are eligible for discounts: you must register on the dedicated portal to receive your accreditation.
You can purchase tickets:

- On the website www.ticketone.it
- At designated ticket outlets
- TicketOne Call Center at 892.101; for information and prices, visit www.ticketone.it/892101

The three-day pass is valid for the entire duration of the event, even if one or more days are not used. All three-day passes consist of a single ticket that cannot be divided into individual days of validity.
Online ticket purchase and seat assignment: For numbered grandstands, seats must be selected directly on the seating chart by the user.
Children ages 0–11
Free admission to the circular lawn for children up to age 11; reduced rates for grandstand seats. Each full-price ticket entitles the holder to purchase only one reduced-price ticket.

People with disabilities who have a certified disability of at least 75% will be eligible, upon accreditation, for free admission to the racetrack; reduced rates apply for grandstand seats reserved for people with disabilities who are able to walk.
The platform dedicated to people with disabilities will be available for registration starting in early 2026.

How to Get to Monza: All Your Options
By car:
Monza is easily accessible from Emilia-Romagna via the highway. If you’re leaving from Bologna, take the A1 toward Milan, then the East Beltway and the North Beltway toward Como: the exit for downtown Monza will take you straight to the Autodromo. The distance is about 225 kilometers, and the trip takes just over 2 hours. The Autodromo’s official parking lots are listed on monzamobilità.it: book them in advance, especially if you plan to arrive on the weekend, because they fill up quickly.
By train:
This is the smartest option if you want to avoid highway traffic and the hassle of finding parking. There’s a direct and fast connection from Bologna Centrale to Monza: Frecciarossa, Italo, and Trenitalia cover the route in about 1 hour and 26–34 minutes. Once you get off at Monza, you can reach the Autodromo by bus (lines 204 and 221 from Corso Milano near the station) or on foot in about 30 minutes. Check the schedules on Trenitalia.com and book in advance to secure the best prices.
From Bologna via Maranello:
If you’re a true car enthusiast and want to combine your trip to the Grand Prix with an even more complete experience, Maranello is located along the natural route between Bologna and Monza. You can stop by the day before the race for a Ferrari test drive or a visit to the Ferrari Museum, or stay on the Monday after the Grand Prix to soak up the atmosphere of the place where the red legend was born. The detour is minimal and transforms a simple trip to Monza into an unforgettable motorsport experience: you’ll be in the heart of Motor Valley, just a stone’s throw from the temples of world motorsport.
The weekend schedule: free practice, qualifying, and the race
The 2026 Monza weekend follows the traditional Formula 1 format, packed with sessions and action over three consecutive days.
Friday, September 4, is dedicated to free practice: the teams take to the track for two sessions, during which drivers and engineers fine-tune the setups, test strategies, and familiarize themselves with the circuit’s specific characteristics. It’s a perfect opportunity for first-time Grand Prix visitors, as the atmosphere is less intense than during the race and there’s more freedom of movement in the paddock area.
Saturday, September 5, marks the start of official qualifying—the most adrenaline-pumping moment of the weekend. This is where the race starting grid is determined, and where every tenth of a second counts. Qualifying consists of three sessions (Q1, Q2, and Q3) and determines who will start from pole position on Sunday.
Sunday, September 6, is race day. The start is scheduled for mid-morning, and the number of laps depends on the length of the circuit: at Monza, with its extremely long straights, the cars reach speeds exceeding 350 km/h and maintain very high average speeds throughout the lap. The action begins right at the first turn (Variante della Prima Chicane) and often continues all the way to the finish line.
Why Monza Is the Most Special Circuit in Formula 1
Monza is not a circuit like any other. Opened in 1922, it is the fourth oldest in the world and the oldest in Europe still in use. It has hosted the Italian Grand Prix without interruption since 1950 (with the exception of 1980, when the race was held at Imola), totaling 71 Grand Prix events —an all-time record among all F1 circuits.
The circuit is nicknamed the “Temple of Speed” for a reason: it’s here that the highest average speed records of the entire season are set. Drivers race at full throttle for nearly 80% of the lap, with extremely late braking at the Variante della Prima Chicane and high-speed corners like Lesmo, Ascari, and the Parabolica. In 2020, Lewis Hamilton set the average speed record in qualifying, maintaining over 264 km/h for an entire lap: an extraordinary feat that speaks to the intensity and sheer speed of this track.
Nestled within Monza Park, one of the largest enclosed parks in Europe, the circuit combines sporting history with the beauty of the surrounding nature. The Villa Reale and the English-style gardens create a unique atmosphere on the F1 world calendar.
