Clarification on Ownership and Naming Rights of Sepang International Circuit

2026 Media Release - 27 Jul

PETRONAS appreciates the enthusiasm on the upcoming Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Sepang on 2-4 October 2026.

PETRONAS wishes to clarify that while it holds the naming rights to Sepang International Circuit, the circuit itself is owned by Sepang International Circuit Sdn. Bhd., a company under Minister of Finance Incorporated (MOF Inc.), and is operated by an agency under the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

As PETRONAS is not the event organiser, it does not manage, control, or have access to ticket allocation, sales, or distribution. Ticket sales is managed solely by the event organiser and its authorised channels.
