Formula 1 Secures Las Vegas Grand Prix Future With New 10-Year Extension

Formula 1 will continue racing through the streets of Las Vegas until at least 2037 after signing a new 10-year extension for the Grand Prix, cementing the event’s place as one of the sport’s key destinations in the United States.

The agreement was announced ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend and extends the race’s presence in Nevada well beyond its original deal. The Las Vegas Grand Prix first joined the Formula 1 calendar in 2023 and has since become one of the championship’s most high-profile events, featuring a night race along the famous Las Vegas Strip with cars reaching speeds of more than 200mph (320kph).

Formula 1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali welcomed the extension, describing Las Vegas as a cornerstone of the series’ growth strategy in the United States. He said the event has quickly established itself as a global attraction, combining top-level racing with entertainment, business opportunities and celebrity appeal.

The race has delivered a significant economic boost to the region. According to Formula 1, the three editions held since 2023 have generated a combined economic impact of $3.2 billion for Southern Nevada. The 2025 event alone produced $43 million in state and local tax revenue, while more than $2 million has been donated to community and charitable initiatives. All three races have sold out, with last year’s attendance reaching 300,000 across the race weekend.

The extension was backed by Las Vegas Grand Prix organizers, local authorities in Clark County and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Officials said the agreement reflects the strength of the partnership between Formula 1 and the city, which has increasingly positioned itself as a major international sports and entertainment hub.

Las Vegas is one of three Formula 1 races currently held in the United States alongside Miami and Austin. The new deal ensures the Nevada event will remain on the calendar longer than Austin’s current agreement, which runs through 2034, while Miami is contracted until 2041.
