Arguably the most highly anticipated event in Singapore, the Formula 1 Race never fails to sell out stadiums and draw in crowds. This year, the Singapore Grand Prix is set to take place from 9 October 2026 to 11 October 2026, and people are already clamouring to secure a spot and witness the action.
Ticket sales are absolutely cutthroat, with 3-day tickets already sold out. Keep a close eye on the official F1 site for single-day tickets; however, if you’re not ready to blow a hole in your pocket, here are some sneaky spots where you can catch the race for free!
Benjamin Sheares Bridge
At 29 metres tall, the Benjamin Sheares Bridge towers over the track, providing an unobstructed bird’s-eye view of the heart-racing action. Located right on top of the Bayfront Grandstand, you’ll get clear views of Tracks 16 and 17, making it one of the best underrated free viewing platforms. Go down early to chope a spot as it doesn’t get any better than this!

For a more immersive experience, the Helix Bridge is a well-known spot that provides a close-up view of the race. Here, you can feel the thunderous engines reverberate through your bones while soaking in the passionate roaring of fellow fans. However, be prepared for crushing crowds as this location has been the reigning top spot for F1 fans to gather.

Esplanade Roof Terrace
The Esplanade Roof Terrace is another place that offers an unmatched panoramic view of the event. The rooftop access rules do make this spot a little trickier, as certain areas can get fenced off. However, chances are that you’ll be able to catch a piece of the action here. Just make sure you head down extra early to scout out some good views.
