With one month to go until the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia 2026, anticipation is already reaching fever pitch. The public’s response once again confirms the unique appeal of Italy’s Formula 1 race: alongside the traditional sell-out expected for Sunday, ticket availability for both Saturday and Friday is now also close to being exhausted. These figures demonstrate that the Monza Grand Prix remains one of the most eagerly anticipated events on the Formula 1 calendar—a race that fans from around the world are determined to experience, immersed in the unmistakable atmosphere of the Temple of Speed.

The 2026 edition is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of fans from across the globe, generating significant benefits for the local area and the wider hospitality sector. Monza once again confirms its status as the heart of Italian motorsport and one of the world’s great capitals of motor racing, combining more than a century of history with the prestige of an event that continues to represent international excellence.

The official countdown to the Grand Prix will begin on Tuesday, 1 September at 11:00 a.m., with the presentation press conference taking place at the Automobile Club of Milan Hall. The venue has been chosen for its profound historical and symbolic significance: it was the Automobile Club of Milan that founded the Autodromo Nazionale Monza in 1922, creating one of the most legendary circuits in world motorsport.

Monza—the host city of the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia and home of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza—will once again be the focal point of the weekend’s institutional and sporting events. It is here that the entire event unfolds each year, welcoming hundreds of thousands of spectators, teams, partners, media representatives and international guests, transforming the city into a global hub for motorsport.

On Saturday evening, in the unique setting of the century-old Temple of Speed, the traditional Gala Dinner will bring together the highest representatives of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), Formula 1, national and local

institutions, as well as leading figures from the automotive industry and the world of sport. This choice once again underlines that Monza is not only the stage for the racing action, but also the place where the most prestigious and symbolic moments of the Italian Grand Prix are celebrated.

For more than a century, the city and its circuit have formed an inseparable partnership, recognised and admired throughout the world. The Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia continues to be far more than a race: it is a treasured asset of international sport, a driver of economic development for the region, and an extraordinary opportunity to showcase Monza and Italy to a global audience.

With just one month remaining before the lights go out, every indicator points towards a record-breaking edition, set to deliver spectacular crowds from Friday and Saturday onwards, before culminating on Sunday with the iconic sea of fans that makes the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia one of the most celebrated and best-attended events on the entire Formula 1 World Championship calendar.
