The Las Vegas Strip and the Las Vegas Grand Prix come together from 19 to 21 November 2026, when Formula 1 returns to the street circuit in Las Vegas for a three-day race weekend. The meeting begins with practice on Thursday, followed by further practice and qualifying on Friday, before the Grand Prix on Saturday night.
Las Vegas Grand Prix runs from 19 to 21 November
The event takes place on closed city roads and is centred on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. Formula 1 lists the first two practice sessions for Thursday 19 November, with a third practice session and qualifying on Friday 20 November. The Grand Prix is scheduled for Saturday 21 November at 8pm local time, according to the organiser's published schedule.
The timetable also includes support activity from F1 Academy during the weekend. The Las Vegas Grand Prix therefore changes the character of the boulevard beyond the race itself: the roads that usually carry resort traffic become the venue for a championship meeting under lights. Formula 1's weekend overview confirms the dates, race format and connection with the Strip.
The circuit links Caesars Palace with Bellagio
The 6.2km, 17-turn street circuit passes named Las Vegas landmarks including Caesars Palace, the Bellagio and the Venetian. Its layout places major resort buildings and familiar public views alongside the competition route, making the road network itself part of the venue rather than a separate approach to an arena.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix first joined the Formula 1 calendar in 2023. The 2026 meeting is the third edition at the Strip circuit, and its Saturday-night race preserves the event's defining format. The published team schedule identifies the Las Vegas Strip Circuit and sets out the practice, qualifying and race sessions.
