The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix runs from Thursday 19 to Saturday 21 November and is round 22 of the championship. Like every edition since 2023, it's a night race, and the Grand Prix itself is on Saturday night rather than Sunday. There's no sprint race in Las Vegas.

How to watch in the United States
2026 is the first season of Apple's five-year deal as the exclusive US broadcaster of Formula 1. Every practice, qualifying session and race is live in the Apple TV app for subscribers, and F1 TV Premium (onboard cameras, team radio and live timing) is included when you link your accounts. Apple has said practice sessions and selected races are free in the app, so check during race week whether Las Vegas is among them.

Tickets: what to know
- Buy official. Use the official race website or its authorised partners. Social-media resellers and screenshots of tickets are the most common scams.
- Zones matter. Tickets are tied to a zone, and getting between zones is limited once sessions start. Check your entry gate and the nearest rideshare pickup before you go.
- Thursday is cheapest. Single-day practice tickets are a budget way to experience the cars under the lights.
- Prices can drop late. Prices on the resale market have historically fallen in the final weeks — but there's no guarantee.
After 2026
The 2027 Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for Saturday 20 November 2027, again as round 22. The race has a contract through 2027 and approval from Clark County to run for a decade.
