Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix 2026

Formula 1 Hungarian Race Weekend 2026

Welcome to Kempinski Hotel Corvinus, the luxury hotel Budapest downtown, Formula 1 enthusiasts return to year after year

EVENT: Formula 1 Grand Prix
VENUE: Mogyoród, Hungary
DATE: 24-26 July 2026

Every year, the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix race attracts some 300,000 racing fans from around the world, with numerous side events that accompany the championship at one of the GP classics, Hungaroring, just outside Budapest, near Mogyoród. The city brims with excited fans – as does Kempinski Hotel Corvinus, which traditionally hosts some of the racing celebrities and their teams. The energy and passion fans bring to town and the Hotel are incomparable to any other sports event.

The Hungary event remains special in more ways than one. Constructed in 1986, it was the first race track behind the Iron Curtain. What’s more, it has held the Grand Prix race annually without any interruptions ever since. Only Monza and Hungary are afforded that privilege. With the contract freshly signed, you can keep booking your trip to Budapest until at least 2032.
