Formula 1 2026 in Austin and Las Vegas: race passes

The short answer

The decision is October in Austin or November in Las Vegas. SkyGate sells one product for each race weekend, and both sell three-day passes only, so you choose the weekend first and then a seat. Neither listing sells a single-day ticket or a child ticket in its option data.[2][1]

Each listing is for a dated event and stops being bookable after the event's last day in the venue's own time zone: 25 October 2026 in Central Time for Austin, and 21 November 2026 in Pacific Time for Las Vegas.[4][3] SkyGate's option calendars are set to America/Chicago for the Austin race and America/Los_Angeles for the Las Vegas race.[2][1]

Dates, as each organiser gives them

Circuit of The Americas gives its Formula 1 United States Grand Prix dates as October 22-25, 2026.[3] Formula 1's 2026 calendar lists the United States Grand Prix as 23 - 25 October and the Las Vegas Grand Prix as 19 - 21 November.[4] The SkyGate passes for Austin cover 23 to 25 October, the three days on Formula 1's calendar, and the Las Vegas passes cover 19 to 21 November.[2][1]

United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas

The Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix 2026 (23 - 25 October) listing places the race at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.[1] See the Circuit of The Americas page on XTOUR for the venue.

Its eight options are a 3-Day Pass General Admission and seven reserved areas: Turn 1 Upper, Turn 1 Middle and Turn 1 Lower; Turn 9 Top Rows and Turn 9 Lower; and Turn 12 Upper and Turn 12 Middle. SkyGate describes General Admission as access to various circuit areas at your own pace, rather than a set seat. The Turn 1 options overlook the first corner, the Turn 9 options look over the run from Turns 6 to 8 towards the Turn 11 hairpin, and the Turn 12 options face the braking zone at the end of the back straight, according to the option descriptions.[1]

SkyGate's option data marks every pass non-refundable and says to make your own way to the circuit.[1] The listing does not say which gate serves which grandstand, and XTOUR has not verified it.

Las Vegas Grand Prix on the Strip circuit

The Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026 (19 - 21 November) listing describes a night race on a street circuit along the Las Vegas Strip.[2] XTOUR shows this event at the Las Vegas destination rather than at a venue pin, because the circuit is a temporary street course.

Its seven options are grandstand seats at West Harmon, West Harmon A, Turn 3, Main and Main A, a seat in Sphere Grandstand sections SG4 to SG6 B, or General Admission in the Sphere Zone. What comes with the pass differs by option. The Main Grandstand option overlooks the start and finish, Turn 1, pit lane and team garages, and lists F1 ACADEMY paddock access, fan zones and the Heineken Stage. The Turn 3 option looks over Turns 3 and 4 onto the Koval Straightaway and also lists the F1 ACADEMY paddock. The West Harmon option faces the Harmon Straight towards the final turn and lists fan activations in the West Harmon Zone. The Sphere Zone option is general admission around Turns 5 to 9.[2]

SkyGate says your e-ticket lets you enter at the circuit gates; the listing does not name the gate for each grandstand.[2]

How to choose

• For an October race at a permanent circuit, with eight seating choices from general admission to three corner grandstands, the Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix 2026 (23 - 25 October).[1]
• For a November night race on Las Vegas streets, with grandstands at the start and finish, Turn 3, West Harmon or the Sphere, or Sphere Zone general admission, the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026 (19 - 21 November).[2]
• If paddock or stage access matters, compare the Las Vegas option texts, because XTOUR's reading is that those inclusions are named in some options and not others.
