F1 Schedule 2026 in Pakistan Time: Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi (Every Session)
F1's last five races of 2026 in Pakistan time, from Mexico at 1 am to Abu Dhabi at 6 pm PKT. See every practice and qualifying session and how to watch.
Five Formula 1 races are left in 2026, and in Pakistan time they start at 1:00 am (Mexico, 2 November), 10:00 pm (Brazil, 8 November), 9:00 am (Las Vegas, 22 November), 9:00 pm (Qatar, 29 November) and 6:00 pm (Abu Dhabi, 6 December). Below is every practice, qualifying and race session in PKT, with the local time beside it, plus what F1 lists for watching in Pakistan.
We took every time from the official race pages on formula1.com on 28 October 2026. F1 lists them in UTC, and we added five hours for Pakistan, which does not use daylight saving. None of the last five weekends has a sprint, so each one is three practice sessions, qualifying and the Grand Prix.
The last five F1 races start between 6 pm and 9 am in Pakistan
Two races fall at a comfortable evening hour in Pakistan: Qatar at 9:00 pm and Abu Dhabi at 6:00 pm. Brazil starts at 10:00 pm. Mexico is a 1:00 am start, and Las Vegas is a Sunday breakfast race at 9:00 am PKT.
| Round | Grand Prix | Race day in Pakistan | Race start (PKT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | Mexico City | Monday 2 November | 1:00 am |
| 20 | Sao Paulo (Brazil) | Sunday 8 November | 10:00 pm |
| 21 | Las Vegas | Sunday 22 November | 9:00 am |
| 22 | Qatar (Lusail) | Sunday 29 November | 9:00 pm |
| 23 | Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina) | Sunday 6 December | 6:00 pm |
The round numbers follow F1's calendar, which lists Mexico as round 19. Abu Dhabi is the season finale.
Mexico and Brazil sessions run late at night in Pakistan
Mexico's sessions sit between 10:30 pm and 3:00 am PKT, with the race at 1:00 am on Monday 2 November. Brazil is gentler: practice starts at 8:30 pm on Friday 6 November and the race at 10:00 pm on Sunday 8 November.
| Session | Mexico City (PKT) | Sao Paulo (PKT) |
|---|---|---|
| Practice 1 | Fri 30 Oct, 11:30 pm | Fri 6 Nov, 8:30 pm |
| Practice 2 | Sat 31 Oct, 3:00 am | Sat 7 Nov, 12:00 midnight |
| Practice 3 | Sat 31 Oct, 10:30 pm | Sat 7 Nov, 7:30 pm |
| Qualifying | Sun 1 Nov, 2:00 am | Sat 7 Nov, 11:00 pm |
| Race | Mon 2 Nov, 1:00 am | Sun 8 Nov, 10:00 pm |
Brazil's second practice starts at midnight, at the very start of Saturday 7 November in PKT. Mexico has its own page with the championship maths: the Mexico Grand Prix time in Pakistan explains how Kimi Antonelli can seal the title there.
Las Vegas runs on Pakistani mornings, Qatar and Abu Dhabi in the evening
Las Vegas is a Saturday night race in the United States, so every session lands in the morning in Pakistan, with the race at 9:00 am on Sunday 22 November. Qatar and Abu Dhabi are close to our time zone and fall in the evening.
| Session | Las Vegas (PKT) | Qatar (PKT) | Abu Dhabi (PKT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practice 1 | Fri 20 Nov, 5:30 am | Fri 27 Nov, 6:30 pm | Fri 4 Dec, 2:30 pm |
| Practice 2 | Fri 20 Nov, 9:00 am | Fri 27 Nov, 10:00 pm | Fri 4 Dec, 6:00 pm |
| Practice 3 | Sat 21 Nov, 5:30 am | Sat 28 Nov, 7:30 pm | Sat 5 Dec, 3:30 pm |
| Qualifying | Sat 21 Nov, 9:00 am | Sat 28 Nov, 11:00 pm | Sat 5 Dec, 7:00 pm |
| Race | Sun 22 Nov, 9:00 am | Sun 29 Nov, 9:00 pm | Sun 6 Dec, 6:00 pm |
Qatar is two hours behind Pakistan and Abu Dhabi one hour behind. Families with relatives working in the Gulf will find the local times easy to share: the Qatar race is 7:00 pm in Doha and the Abu Dhabi race 5:00 pm in the UAE, by our conversion.
Antonelli leads by 123 points with 125 left to win
Kimi Antonelli has 365 points to George Russell's 242 on F1's standings page. Five races at 25 points for a win leave 125 points on the table, so the title can be settled as early as the Mexico race on 2 November.
Lewis Hamilton is third on 241, Max Verstappen fourth on 236 and Charles Leclerc fifth on 233. Antonelli has won nine of the 18 races so far, including the United States Grand Prix on 25 October. Whatever happens at the top, the fight for second between four drivers separated by nine points should last until Abu Dhabi.
F1 names no TV partner for Pakistan, so F1 TV is the official route
Formula 1's broadcast information page lists partners by country, and Pakistan is not among them. India has FanCode and MENA has beIN Sports. F1 TV, the sport's own streaming service, is sold "in many territories", but F1 does not list them.
We tried the F1 TV subscription page on 28 October and it sent us to another region's store, so we cannot tell you the Pakistan price or confirm that a Pakistani card goes through. Check it yourself in this order:
- Open formula1.com and choose F1 TV from the menu.
- See which country store opens and whether a price appears.
- Pay with a card enabled for international payments, and note the amount in dollars.
- Test the stream on a practice session, not on race night.
- Turn off auto renewal if you only want the rest of 2026.
For a foreign subscription, a JazzCash virtual card is one way to pay if your bank blocks overseas charges. Do not use unlicensed "free F1" streams. They often carry fake download buttons and card-stealing pop-ups. For the morning races in Las Vegas, a big screen helps, and screen mirroring from phone to TV works with most streaming apps that allow casting.

Last checked 28 October 2026. Session times come from the official race pages for Las Vegas, Mexico, Brazil, Qatar and Abu Dhabi and the 2026 F1 calendar on formula1.com, read on 28 October 2026. Points come from F1's 2026 drivers' standings page on the same date. We converted UTC to PKT by adding five hours, and worked out Doha and UAE local times ourselves.
