Remaining 2026 SailGP schedule and winner market

The 2026 season has two scheduled events remaining after September’s Switzerland Sail Grand Prix. Dubai is the penultimate stop, followed by the Season Grand Final in Abu Dhabi.

The OG championship-winner market depicted the following percentages when checked on September 23, 2026, at approximately 7:00 a.m. ET:

Other teams are also listed in the market. Each percentage is the displayed price for a separate outcome contract, so the figures don’t need to total 100%. They’re a market snapshot, not an editorial prediction or a guarantee of the result. Prices may change.

How is the 2026 SailGP champion decided?

Teams earn championship points from their results at each Sail Grand Prix. The leading teams on the season leaderboard qualify for the winner-takes-all Season Grand Final, where the final race determines the champion. Finishing first on the points leaderboard and winning the season championship are, therefore, different achievements.

Our prediction market is for the officially confirmed 2026 season champion, rather than the winner of an individual Sail Grand Prix or the team with the most regular-season points. 

What could shape the championship result?

Qualification for the Grand Final. The Dubai event could affect which teams advance to the championship decider. Australia and Spain secured Grand Final places following the September event in Geneva, while other teams were still competing for places.

Performance in changing conditions. Wind strength and direction affect how crews handle their F50s, choose a route and keep the boats foiling. Conditions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi may present different challenges from those at earlier events.

The Grand Final itself. Season results determine who reaches the final, but the championship is decided on the water in the final race. A team’s position on the leaderboard cannot guarantee the title.

What could change the outlook?

Results in Dubai, crew availability, weather and the final qualifying lineup could change the championship picture before Abu Dhabi. OG’s displayed probabilities may move as those details become known.
