American Express Named Title Sponsor of Hong Kong Sail Grand Prix

American Express Cardmembers will be the first to receive access to tickets with a presale window on October 21-22, before SailGP+ members book their place on October 23-26. Tickets will go on public sale on October 27.

The sponsorship will put American Express at the heart of SailGP's Hong Kong debut, connecting Cardmembers with special access and premium experiences around the city.

These include a Cardmember priority booking ahead of wider ticket sales, exclusive savings on ticket purchase as well as other race-day experiences.

Tickets are limited and fans are encouraged to get in early to avoid missing out on their place to watch the opening event of the 2027 Season against the backdrop of Victoria Harbour.

Walter Liu, Head of Asia Region at American Express, added: "At American Express, we are constantly looking for new ways to make Cardmembership more rewarding, from premium benefits to access to some of the most sought-after events in Hong Kong and beyond.

"We are delighted to be the Title Sponsor of the inaugural American Express Hong Kong Sail Grand Prix, which sets to bring that commitment to life by giving our Cardmembers privileged access and exclusive benefits to a world-class sporting event right here in Hong Kong."
