Everything you need to know at a glance
American Express Cardholders will enjoy access to exclusive ticket presales for select 2027 Formula 1® races before tickets go on general sale.

An Amex presale for Silverstone is scheduled for September 14–18, 2026; presale tickets for Madrid and Monza are also expected to be available in September. As the race calendar, time slots and packages are subject to change, interested parties should check the ticket platform regularly and pay using an eligible American Express Card during the respective presale period.
Formula 1®: various benefits when purchasing tickets
Mercedes, Ferrari, or maybe McLaren after all? Which team’s driver will make it onto the winners’ podium? The 2026 Formula 1® season is in full swing and remains unpredictable – before the summer break, five drivers from three teams won the last five races. Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton remain the favorites, but the excitement for the remaining races of the season remains high.
And the best part: Thanks to the partnership between American Express and Formula 1®, which has been expanded globally since 2025, American Express credit cardholders enjoy special benefits when purchasing tickets. For the remaining races of the 2026 season, you have the option to purchase various packages. These include exclusive seats, such as those overlooking the pit lane or in lounges at key sections of the track.

2027 European races are gradually becoming available: Here’s how the presale works
American Express Cardholders don’t have to wait for tickets to go public: Exclusive presale tickets will be available for select races in the projected Formula 1® calendar for 2027. The tickets will be released in stages, with the presale period typically lasting between three and six days.
It’s an arrangement that’s ideal for anyone who wants to plan their Formula 1® experience early and secure access to highly sought-after races: Simply select the race you want, access the available tickets during the presale time slot, and pay with your American Express Card.
For some of the races taking place in Europe, you can secure your tickets as soon as September 2026 through the exclusive Amex presale. The presale for the race at Silverstone in England runs from September 14 to 18, and you can also purchase presale tickets for the races in Madrid and Monza as early as September.
As the exact Formula 1® calendar as of August 2026 is yet to have been finalized, the dates have not yet been decided. Check the ticket platform regularly, where a clear overview of all the available ticket packages is available for each race.
The most spectacular F1® races in Europe
According to the current schedule, eight races will be taking place on the European continent in 2027: Monaco, Portugal, Austria, Great Britain, Belgium, Hungary, Spain and Italy are the host venues. Presales have already been confirmed for some of these races:
Silverstone in England: pure tradition
Silverstone is synonymous with the most historic Grand Prix in Formula 1®: The first race of the World Championship was held here on May 13, 1950. Drivers and fans alike appreciate this circuit’s extremely fast, flowing sequences of curves, which demand precision, courage, and a well-balanced car. The lively, enthusiastic atmosphere – complete with camping and concerts – makes for a very exciting weekend.
Monza in Italy: the "Temple of Speed"
Monza is known as the "Temple of Speed": The track in the Royal Park near Milan is world-famous for its long straights and extremely high top speeds. The cars drive at full throttle for around 80 percent of a lap. The tifosi guarantee an unforgettable weekend for fans; their passionate support for Ferrari electrifies Monza year after year.
Madrid, Spain: new to the F1® race calendar
Madrid is making its F1® calendar debut in 2026, following a hiatus of about 40 years without a race in the Spanish capital. The track’s landmark – which combines public streets around the IFEMA exhibition grounds with permanent track elements – is the "La Monumental" curve, some 500 meters in length and with a banking of up to 24 percent, and which can accommodate around 45,000 spectators alone.
