What time does the 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix start?

The confirmed Sunday start in Las Vegas, with UTC context and an arrival-planning checklist.

01

Sunday start: 20:00 local

Formula 1 currently lists the race at 04:00 Sun UTC on 21 Nov, equivalent to 20:00 in Las Vegas.

02

Do not arrive at start time

Transport controls, security, ticket-zone walks and pre-race ceremonies require a substantial buffer.

  • Save the mobile ticket offline
  • Use the assigned gate
  • Allow for transport queues
  • Be seated before the formation lap
03

Recheck during race week

Broadcast times are not gate times. Confirm the live event programme and any schedule change through Formula 1 and the organiser.
