Formula 1 confirms that Malaysia will be added to the 2026 calendar as the host for the rescheduled Bahrain Grand Prix. Multiple outlets report that the Bahrain Grand Prix, which is postponed earlier in the season, is moved to October and held in Malaysia. The change is linked to Formula 1’s adjustment of the race schedule for 2026. F1 and other sources state that the Sepang International Circuit will stage the Bahrain Grand Prix under Malaysia’s hosting slot. The announcements describe the updated timing as taking place in October at Sepang, replacing the original Bahrain event date in the calendar. While the reports focus on the rescheduling and the venue swap, they do not add further details on the original postponement’s cause beyond noting that the Bahrain race had been postponed earlier in the season. Overall, the coverage aligns on three core points: Malaysia is confirmed on the 2026 calendar, the event is the Bahrain Grand Prix, and it is scheduled for October at Sepang International Circuit.
