As the 2026 Rolex SailGP Championship approaches its climax, the competition intensifies with three events remaining. Eleven of the thirteen teams still have a chance to compete for the grand prize of $2 million as they head towards the Abu Dhabi Grand Final. The current leaderboard shows Australia’s Bonds Flying Roos leading with 85 points, followed by Spain’s Los Gallos with 68 points. The U.S. SailGP Team holds the third position with 56 points, just one point ahead of Sweden’s Artemis and five points clear of Emirates GBR.
The upcoming events in Geneva, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi present critical opportunities for teams to gain points or secure their spots in the Grand Final. The championship format culminates in a winner-takes-all finale at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix on November 28-29, where the top three teams will compete for the substantial prize money.
The competition remains fierce as the Bonds Flying Roos have already qualified for the Grand Final, showcasing their dominance throughout the season. The team has secured victories in five out of ten events. Meanwhile, Los Gallos, led by Olympic champion Diego Botin, are solidifying their position as formidable contenders.
The U.S. SailGP Team, under the pressure of injuries sidelining key drivers, has made significant progress this season, achieving their first two event wins. However, they face a tight race with Artemis and Emirates GBR, both eager to claim the final Grand Final spot.
The upcoming Geneva event from September 19-20 marks a pivotal point in the championship, providing teams one last chance to earn crucial points before heading to the final showdown in Abu Dhabi.
In summary, the Race to Abu Dhabi is heating up, with the stakes higher than ever as the teams gear up for the remaining competitions.
