    SailGP Championship

    1 November 2026 – 30 June 2027provisionalStadium-style race courses in host cities worldwide — Multiple host cities, Global

    SailGP is the sport's clearest attempt at a broadcast-native format: identical foiling F50 catamarans, national teams, short races close to shore, and a season-long championship decided in a winner-takes-all final. Its event marketing is the benchmark every regatta organiser is now measured against.

    Dates shown are indicative windows based on where each event traditionally sits in the season. Always confirm the current edition with the organiser before booking or entering.

    Race format

    • Identical one-design F50 foiling catamarans, keeping the racing crew-driven
    • National teams competing over a multi-event global season
    • Short stadium-style races run close to shore over a two-day event weekend
    • Season points decide qualification for a final, winner-takes-all race

    Who it suits

    • Host cities and tourism boards evaluating sailing as a spectator product
    • Sponsors seeking broadcast-scale sailing exposure
    • Event organisers modelling ticketing, fan zones, and digital fan experience

    Planning notes

    • Host venues and dates shift between seasons — always check the official season calendar rather than last year's schedule.
    • Ticketing and grandstand inventory sells by event, so each host city effectively needs its own conversion-focused page.
    • The format's lesson for organisers: shorter races, closer to shore, with a clear leaderboard, are far easier to market than long-course racing.
