Flying in for race week
Los Cabos International (MMSD), about 11 km from San José del Cabo, where the race starts and finishes on Avenida Centenario. Cabo San Lucas International (MMSL) is the second option, with prior permission needed for every flight.
Ensenada hosted 49 of the first 58 starts. In 2026 SCORE runs a 'Cabo to Cabo' loop entirely within Baja California Sur, up the East Cape to La Paz and Loreto and back down the Pacific side through Todos Santos. More than 250 teams are expected from up to 15 countries.
Race week follows the PGA Tour's WWT Championship at Diamante (5 to 8 November), and Los Cabos is among Mexico's busiest business aviation airports in the winter season, with knock-on effects for parking and fuel. Book parking with the aircraft.
SCORE has not announced spectator tickets or official viewing zones. Qualifying is closed to the public and streamed, and teams have 40 hours to finish. See private jet charter in Cabo San Lucas and Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles for flights to and from the peninsula.
