Las Vegas Grand Prix Secures Sponsorship to Continue Until 2027

Formula One’s Las Vegas Grand Prix will continue at least until 2027, following the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s (LVCVA) approval of a significant race sponsorship deal. The LVCVA Board has committed $20 million over two years, with $10 million allocated annually for the 2026 and 2027 races. This decision aligns with the announcement of the 2026 F1 schedule, which places the Las Vegas race on November 19-21, 2026.

The existing agreement between the LVCVA and Formula One concludes after the upcoming race weekend from November 20-22. Both parties have consistently expressed intentions for the Las Vegas Grand Prix to be a staple event occurring the weekend before Thanksgiving. Liberty Media, F1’s parent company, has heavily invested in the Las Vegas event, spending $500 million to purchase land and construct key facilities such as a three-story pit building and the Grand Prix Plaza.

The 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix attracted a substantial audience, with a reported three-day attendance of 306,000 people and 175,000 unique visitors to the city. This influx contributed an estimated $934 million to the local economy, as per analysis by the financial consulting firm Applied Analysis based in Las Vegas.
