Las Vegas Grand Prix Signs 10-Year Contract Extension Through 2037

Formula 1 has announced a 10-year contract extension for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, ensuring the sport will race on the iconic Strip through at least 2037. The original deal was set to expire in 2027, but strong attendance, global buzz, and a reported $3.2 billion economic impact convinced all parties to lock in the race for the long haul.

Why it matters:

The extension solidifies Las Vegas as a cornerstone of F1's growing U.S. presence, alongside Miami and Austin. The Saturday night primetime slot on a custom street circuit has become a flagship event, drawing celebrities, business leaders, and massive crowds. Keeping the race for another decade signals F1's confidence in the American market and the city's ability to host world-class motorsport.

The Details:

• The new deal runs from 2025 (the current contract was already in place) through 2037, adding 10 years beyond the prior 2027 expiry.
• Economic impact: F1 states the Las Vegas GP has generated over $3.2 billion for Southern Nevada since its 2023 debut.
• Key quotes:
  • Stefano Domenicali, F1 CEO: "Las Vegas has rapidly established itself as a premier destination for great racing and world-class entertainment."
  • Emily Prazer, LVGP President: "Securing a 10-year extension is a defining moment and reflects the strength of our local partnerships."
• The 2026 race is scheduled for the weekend of November 19-21, continuing the Saturday night format.

What's next:

With the calendar already featuring three U.S. races, the Las Vegas extension further cements North America's importance in F1. The sport continues to expand, and the long-term commitment gives teams, sponsors, and fans clarity for planning. Expect continued investment in infrastructure and fan experiences around the Strip circuit.
