Las Vegas Grand Prix extended through 2037 in ten-year F1 deal

Las Vegas Grand Prix extended through 2037 in ten-year F1 deal
Formula 1 will continue racing on the Las Vegas Strip until at least 2037 after confirming a ten-year contract extension with Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., Clark County officials and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The announcement cements Las Vegas as one of the permanent fixtures on the Formula 1 calendar and extends a partnership that has already generated 3.2 billion dollars in cumulative economic impact for Southern Nevada across its first three editions.
The race debuted in 2023 and has sold out in each of its three runnings to date. On track, Max Verstappen has won twice, taking victory in 2023 and again in 2025, with George Russell claiming the 2024 edition in a race that produced 113 overtakes and saw Verstappen seal his fourth consecutive world championship. Tickets for this year are on sale now.

Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said the extension reflects the race’s rapid rise to the top tier of the global sporting calendar. “We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come. Since its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers. We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market.”

Las Vegas Grand Prix through 2037: What the deal covers

The extension locks in the Las Vegas Grand Prix on the Formula 1 calendar through 2037, giving the event a longer confirmed future than most races currently on the schedule. The 2026 race is already confirmed for November 19 to 21, and the circuit layout remains unchanged: a 6.2 kilometre street circuit through the heart of the Strip where cars reach speeds in excess of 322 kilometres per hour past landmarks including the Bellagio, Caesars Palace and The Venetian Resort.

Emily Prazer, president and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., described the agreement as a defining moment for the event. “Securing a 10-year extension through 2037 is a defining moment for the Las Vegas Grand Prix and a reflection of the strength of our local partnerships. Las Vegas is unlike anywhere else in the world, and its energy, hospitality, and scale have played a major role in shaping what this race has become.”

The economic numbers behind the extension are substantial. In 2025 alone the race generated 43 million dollars in state and local tax revenue, of which 15 million was directed toward local K-12 education funding. The Las Vegas Grand Prix Foundation has contributed more than 2 million dollars to nonprofit organisations and created educational programmes for hundreds of Clark County School District students.

Formula 1 US strategy consolidated

The announcement also carries strategic significance for Formula 1’s position in the United States market. Las Vegas joins Austin and Miami as the three American races on the current calendar, and the ten-year commitment signals that Liberty Media regards Las Vegas as the marquee US event rather than a provisional experiment.

Steve Hill, president and CEO of the LVCVA, framed the extension in those terms. “In just three years, the race has become a signature global event, putting Las Vegas at the center of culture, competition, and entertainment during race week. Built for spectacle and designed to host the world’s biggest moments, Las Vegas is proud to continue this dynamic partnership with Formula 1 for the next decade and beyond.”

The race also gained additional cultural reach last year through its appearance in the F1 film, the highest-grossing motorsport film ever made, which used Las Vegas as one of its primary settings and introduced the circuit to audiences well beyond the sport’s existing fanbase.

Grand Prix Plaza, the 39-acre fan and community complex described as the world’s largest Formula 1 attraction, will continue to serve as the race’s centrepiece venue and has recently been recognised at the 2026 Green Sports Alliance Summit for environmental innovation and its commitment to a net-zero future.

With three sold-out editions, back-to-back Verstappen victories bookending a Russell win in between, and now a contract that runs to the end of the decade and beyond, Las Vegas has moved in three years from an untested concept to one of the most established dates on the Formula 1 calendar.
