Formula 1 extends Las Vegas Grand Prix through 2037 with 10-year deal

Formula 1 will continue racing on the Las Vegas Strip through 2037 after organizers finalized a 10-year extension in June 2026. Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., Clark County officials and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority approved the long-term arrangement, securing the night race’s place on the world championship calendar. Officials said the new term gives planning certainty across operations, infrastructure and community programs.

The deal cements the event’s status as a marquee U.S. stop since its 2023 debut. Organizers said demand has remained high, with all editions from 2023 through 2025 selling out. They added that multi-year visibility will help stakeholders coordinate ticketing, traffic management and hospitality well in advance.

Operations and planning

Backers said the longer runway supports investment in facilities and fan experience as operations mature. Officials added that a stable calendar slot will help the resort corridor align permitting, traffic and staffing around the annual build and teardown.

Traffic and hospitality coordination

Organizers said the extension enables earlier timelines for road works, logistics and venue activation, reducing disruptions and improving guest services across partner resorts. They also expect clearer communication windows for residents and businesses during race week.

Economic impact and education funding

Officials said the commitment builds on a reported $3.2 billion cumulative economic impact for Southern Nevada since 2023. According to officials, the 2025 race generated $43 million in state and local tax revenue, including $15 million directed to K-12 education. Authorities expect employment and fiscal effects to scale alongside the event’s footprint in the coming years.

Community programs and schools

The Las Vegas Grand Prix Foundation has contributed more than $2 million to nonprofit groups and education initiatives across the region since launch. Local leaders and race organizers describe the extended term as a cornerstone for community-facing programming, with timelines that allow schools and partners to plan around race week.

Grand Prix Plaza and sustainability targets

Race week centers on Grand Prix Plaza, a 39-acre multi-use complex that hosts fan activities, community programming and STEM engagement. Organizers said the venue and the event were recognized for environmental innovation and a net-zero commitment at the 2026 Green Sports Alliance Summit.

Net-zero commitment recognition

Supporters of the extension said a long-term tenure will back sustainability goals from energy use to logistics, while helping public agencies and resorts coordinate permitting and operations for future editions.

Circuit profile and recent winners

The 3.8-mile (6.2 km) Las Vegas Strip Circuit sends drivers past landmarks including the Bellagio and Caesars Palace, with top speeds exceeding 200 mph (322 km/h). The street layout emphasizes top speed and slipstreaming, combining long straights with late-night conditions to produce high-speed racing and tactical variation.

On track, organizers said Max Verstappen won the inaugural 2023 race and triumphed again in 2025, while George Russell took victory in 2024. They added that the 2024 edition featured 113 overtakes, the same year Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive drivers’ title.

Calendar and next steps

Final dates and operational details for future editions will be confirmed in Formula 1’s annual calendar publications. Stakeholders said planning for the next race is underway, with updates on ticketing, logistics and community initiatives to follow.
