There's now just one week to go before the champion of season 4 is crowned on the iconic waters of San Francisco Bay.

The final event of SailGP's record 13-stop calendar will see all 10 national teams go to battle across five fleet races before the top three proceed into the winner-takes-all, $2 million Grand Final showdown.

After securing another win in New York, Peter Burling's New Zealand has already qualified for the Grand Final with a commanding 15-point lead over triple SailGP champions Australia. After a drastically improved season, Diego Botin's Spain sits in third, but France lurks just five points behind. This means France MUST beat Spain in order to make it to the Grand Final. Will driver Quentin Delapierre be fired up to match race Spain when racing gets under way, or will other teams look to play spoiler with the top three?

You can't afford to miss what promises to be a thrilling weekend of action-packed racing! Find out how to watch all the action from across the globe...
