The Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix will return to Geneva in 2026, with SailGP confirming a second consecutive home event for the Switzerland SailGP Team. Taking place on 19–20 September 2026, the event will once again transform Lake Geneva into a global stage for elite, high-speed racing.

The back-to-back return underscores Switzerland’s growing role on the global SailGP calendar and reflects the success of the event’s 2025 debut. Rolex continues its support as both Championship and Event Title Partner, anchoring the event through a shared commitment to precision, innovation, and performance at the highest level of sport.

The inaugural 2025 edition set a new benchmark as the largest sporting event ever staged on Lake Geneva. More than 8,500 ticketed fans attended across the weekend, with tens of thousands lining the shoreline and a global broadcast audience of 19.5 million tuning in worldwide. On the water, the Switzerland SailGP Team delivered a standout performance, securing a home podium and narrowly missing overall victory fuelling the team’s determination heading into 2026.

Bringing SailGP back to Geneva is strategically important for us, not only as a team, but as a Swiss sporting and commercial platform. The response from fans, partners, and the city last season exceeded expectations and confirmed Geneva’s relevance on the global SailGP stage. At the same time, our ambition is clear: We are building with intent, and we return in 2026 to convert that momentum into results on the racecourse.

Boet BrinkgreveCEO, Switzerland SailGP Team

Racing at home in Geneva is incredibly special for us. The energy last season was exceptional, and it pushes us to raise our level even further. We’re coming back with one clear objective to fight for the win in front of our home crowd.
