Las Vegas Grand Prix secures 10-year extension through 2037

Summary
Formula 1 extends Las Vegas Grand Prix through 2037 with a ten-year deal, after three sold-out editions generated $3.2 billion in economic impact for Southern Nevada.

Formula 1 has officially extended the Las Vegas Grand Prix through 2037, locking in a ten-year contract extension that cements the race as a permanent fixture on the calendar. The event has generated $3.2 billion in economic impact over its first three sold-out editions and will continue on the iconic Strip circuit.

Why it matters:

The extension solidifies Las Vegas as a cornerstone of Formula 1's American expansion, joining Austin and Miami in a three-race US lineup. With a longer confirmed future than most races, it signals Liberty Media's long-term commitment to the market and the event's rapid rise from a bold experiment to a marquee global spectacle.

The details:

  • The deal runs through 2037, with the 2026 race set for November 19-21 on the unchanged 6.2 km Strip circuit, where cars exceed 322 km/h past landmarks like the Bellagio and Caesars Palace.
  • Financial impact: In 2025 alone, the race generated $43 million in state and local tax revenue, with $15 million directed to K-12 education. The Las Vegas Grand Prix Foundation has contributed over $2 million to nonprofits.
  • On-track history: Max Verstappen won in 2023 and 2025, while George Russell took victory in 2024. The 2024 race saw 113 overtakes and Verstappen clinching his fourth title.
  • The event gained cultural reach via the F1 film and continues to operate Grand Prix Plaza, a 39-acre fan complex recognized for environmental innovation.

What's next:

With a decade-long commitment and three consecutive sellouts, Las Vegas has proven its place on the calendar. The extension provides stability for teams, fans, and local businesses, ensuring the race remains a highlight for years to come.
