LAS VEGAS - Formula 1 has officially locked in its future in the sports and entertainment capital of the world, announcing a massive 10-year contract extension that ensures the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix will remain on the Las Vegas Strip through 2037.

What we know:

The long-term agreement cements a multi-year partnership between Formula 1, Clark County, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. 

Since making its calendar debut in 2023, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has generated $3.2 billion in economic impact for Southern Nevada. 

Following a completely sold-out race in 2025, organizers have also detailed premium ticket packages for the upcoming 2026 event, which is scheduled for November 19-21, 2026.

The group recently honored local principal Dr. Tamra Brooks of Hayden Elementary School as an "Extraordinary Local" for her literacy work, giving her tickets to the 2026 race.
