Formula 1 confirmed a 10-year extension for the Las Vegas Grand Prixkeeping the race on the calendar through 2037 in Las Vegas. The deal followed the event’s rapid rise since its 2026 debut on the Las Vegas Strip Circuitand was agreed with Clark County and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
The extension matters because it consolidates one of F1’s highest-profile night races and locks in long-term investment, operations planning and community programs. Organizers cited significant economic impactwith new commitments to streamline logistics, reduce disruption on the Strip, and enhance permanent infrastructure that supports year-round activity at the Grand Prix Plaza.
Economic impact and community programs in Southern Nevada
Event organizers reported a cumulative $3.2 billion economic impact across the first three editions, with $43 million in state and local tax revenue generated in 2026 alone. Of that, $15 million was allocated to local education initiatives, reinforcing the race’s role beyond tourism. The Las Vegas Grand Prix Foundation contributed over $2 million to nonprofit organizations and created educational opportunities for hundreds of Clark County School District students. The 39-acre Grand Prix Plazadescribed as the world’s largest Formula 1 attraction, has functioned as a multi-use hub for fans and the community, while the race and Plaza were recognized at the 2026 Green Sports Alliance Summit for leadership toward a net-zero future.
Contract scope, partners and operational upgrades
The new agreement extended the event’s initial three-year deal, which began in 2026 and was previously lengthened by two years, to a long-term commitment through 2037. The collaboration included F1 management, Clark County and the LVCVA. “We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come,” said Stefano Domenicali, F1 president and CEO. Steve Hill, LVCVA president and CEO, called the continuation a “major moment” for the city and race. Emily Prazer, president and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., said securing the 10-year extension is a “defining moment,” enabling sustained improvements backed by resort partners and the wider community.
Traffic relief, permanent works and race-week schedule
Operational changes addressed early concerns about traffic and business access. The paving project that complicated the inaugural buildout was completed, contributing to a roughly 60 percent reduction in disruption. Organizers improved setup and teardown efficiency by starting preparations in late September and wrapping by early December, narrowing the impact window. With the decade-long horizon, planners can invest in permanent power for overhead lights, construct permanent bridges and evaluate permanent team hospitality areas, upgrades intended to enhance the fan experience and reduce repetitive construction on the Strip.
Track layout, sporting notes and calendar placement
The 6.2 km (3.8-mile) Las Vegas Strip Circuit runs past landmarks including the Bellagio, Caesars Palace and The Venetian Resort, and has delivered high-profile moments such as Max Verstappen’s fourth world title celebration in 2026. Verstappen has won two of the first three races at this venue, underscoring the track’s blend of long straights and low-grip night conditions. The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix was scheduled for November 19–21 as the third-to-last round, cementing its late-season slot. With the contract locked through 2037, the event is positioned to remain a cornerstone of F1’s presence in the United States.
