The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix runs Thursday, Nov. 19, through Saturday, Nov. 21. It is Round 22 of the Formula 1 season, and like every edition since the race returned to the Strip in 2023, it runs at night.
Las Vegas and Southern California share a time zone, so the times below work for fans watching from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego too.
Session times (Pacific)
- Thursday, Nov. 19: Practice 1, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Practice 2, 8 to 9 p.m.
- Friday, Nov. 20: Practice 3, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Qualifying, 8 to 9 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 21: Race, 8 p.m.
Formula 1 publishes these times in UTC, which is why the official schedule lists the race on Sunday, Nov. 22. In Las Vegas it is still Saturday night. The race is 50 laps, or 309.958 kilometers.
How to watch in the U.S.
This is the first Las Vegas Grand Prix under Formula 1’s new American broadcast deal. Apple became the exclusive U.S. broadcaster starting this season, so every session streams on Apple TV rather than on cable.
An Apple TV subscription costs $12.99 a month, with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. According to Apple, it covers every practice, qualifying and race session live and on demand, with English and Spanish commentary. F1 TV Premium is included at no extra cost, which adds onboard cameras and extra live feeds. Apple also offers replays and a spoiler-free 30-minute race recap.
Fans who only want to listen can use Apple Music, which carries free live audio of each Grand Prix. Apple said in March that Tubi would carry free alternate broadcasts of select races, with the list to be announced later.
Going in person
Each night also has music on two stages. The T-Mobile Stage at Sphere and the Heineken Stage in the East Harmon Zone run alongside the sessions. Ticket options, including single-day general admission, are covered in our ticket guide.
