F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026
Formula 1 under the lights of the Strip — the season's wildest road trip anchor.
The fourth edition of the Las Vegas Grand Prix runs November 19–21, 2026: practice Thursday and Friday, qualifying Friday night, and the Grand Prix itself on Saturday night, racing straight down the Strip. It's the most road-trippable event in motorsport — a city built for visitors, wrapped around a street circuit.

✨ Why this one's worth the trip
- ›Night racing past the Bellagio fountains and the Sphere is a spectacle nothing else on the calendar matches.
- ›Vegas is a sports town now: when the Golden Knights and Raiders are home the same week, an F1 + NHL + NFL weekend is possible.
- ›Every budget has an angle, from grandstands to casino balconies to simply working the pedestrian bridges during practice.
🎪 The scene
The whole Strip becomes the venue for a week — fan zones, team appearances and pop-ups everywhere. Sessions run late (the race starts at night), so the days are free for everything else Vegas does.
November nights in the desert get cold — locals will tell you the smart fans bring layers to a race most people picture in T-shirts.
🧭 Planning it
- ›Hotel prices spike race week but swing wildly — off-Strip with a rideshare budget often beats mid-Strip for value.
- ›Check the Golden Knights' and Raiders' home schedules for the same window to stack a multi-sport weekend.
- ›Walking distances on the Strip are deceptive during road closures — plan your grandstand's nearest access point before Saturday.
