2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix Schedule and TV Broadcast Details
The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026 weekend runs from Friday, November 20, to Sunday, November 22, with track sessions scheduled late at night locally and broadcast live on Sky Sport F1 alongside delayed free-to-air coverage on TV8, FormulaPassion reported.
Formula 1 arrives in Nevada for the penultimate phase of the season with both world championships already decided. Despite the settled title fights, the racing calendar still holds high-stakes variables on the iconic Strip circuit.
Power Unit Penalties and Circuit Challenges
Andrea Kimi Antonelli could debut a Mercedes power unit equipped with ADUO at the Las Vegas event, FormulaPassion reported, which would trigger a five-place grid drop for the Italian driver. Ferrari faces pressure to bounce back following a difficult outing in Brazil, though the cold desert temperatures and circuit characteristics place an absolute premium on power unit efficiency.
The Las Vegas street circuit spans 6.201 kilometers, with drivers slated to cover 50 laps for a total race distance of 309.958 kilometers. Because of the local evening schedule, track action takes place at night, pushing session times into the early morning hours in Italy.
