Good to know
When does the Las Vegas GP 2026 race start?
The scheduled race start is Saturday, 21 November 2026 at 20:00 GMT-8 in Las Vegas. That is Sunday, 22 November 2026 at 04:00 UTC. The plan above converts that same start into your selected timezone.
Why is the weekend opening date November 19?
The race weekend begins on Thursday, November 19. Practice, qualifying and the race have separate start times. Choose the sessions you want above; a date-only weekend calendar entry does not identify the race start.
The race timer counts down to the exact scheduled start. The catalogue's date-only entry and answers describe the November 19 weekend opening, which is a separate milestone.
Planning notes
Las Vegas GP 2026: race time and weekend schedule
Is the Las Vegas race on Saturday or Sunday?
The organizer lists the race for Saturday, November 21, 2026 at 8 p.m. Pacific Standard Time in Las Vegas (UTC−8). That is 04:00 UTC on Sunday, November 22: the same start instant, a different calendar date. The catalogue's November 19 date marks the weekend opening. Race and weekend dates have separate labels; a weekend calendar entry does not identify the race start.
The published Formula 1 program has Thursday practice 1 at 4:30 p.m. and practice 2 at 8 p.m.; Friday practice 3 at 4:30 p.m. and qualifying at 8 p.m. Gates are listed at 2:30 p.m. on each of the three days. All these times are local PST. Check the organizer's latest schedule for changes and for separate F1 Academy sessions.
Do not assume it does. The organizer offers single-day choices as well as multi-day packages, with different access for general admission, grandstands and hospitality. Check the day, zone and access on the offer you choose. Until XYZ does not sell tickets or guarantee current availability; use the official ticket page for purchase conditions.
