F1 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix Full Weekend Schedule and Start Times
The Formula 1 world shifts its attention back to one of the sport’s most glamorous and dramatic venues as the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix takes center stage this weekend. Round 22 of the championship brings the teams and drivers to the bright lights, noise, and spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip — a location that has quickly become one of the most unique and eagerly anticipated stops on the modern F1 calendar.
This year’s event is once again designed as a high-adrenaline night race, perfectly aligning with the city’s nocturnal energy. Fans can expect a breathtaking combination of raw speed, neon lights, and unpredictable racing conditions, as the low nighttime temperatures often influence tyre performance and track grip.
The main race will take place on Saturday night, November 22, with a scheduled 20:00 local time lights-out. Because Las Vegas operates on Pacific Time, this corresponds to 04:00 GMT on Sunday, November 23, meaning fans in Europe and Africa will need to prepare for a very early morning viewing experience. As always, the global audience will follow along in their respective time zones, and the schedule has been curated to reflect these variations.
Beyond the excitement of the race itself, the entire weekend promises plenty of action. The teams will have three practice sessions to fine-tune their cars, especially as the Las Vegas Street Circuit remains a demanding blend of long straights, heavy braking zones, and tight corners. The surface temperature at night plays a major role, so getting the setup right during the late practice sessions will be crucial.
Qualifying — which often produces surprising results in Las Vegas — will also take place in the early hours of Saturday morning (local time), adding to the unpredictable nature of the event. With championship battles still in full throttle as the season nears its conclusion, every session this weekend carries immense weight.

Fans should note that while the race occurs on Saturday night local time, the official event record marks it as Sunday, November 23, due to the time zone conversions used by Formula 1’s global broadcasters.
This means viewers outside the United States — especially in regions such as the UK, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East — will be tuning in during very early morning hours. The Las Vegas GP has become known for these unusual broadcast times, but its thrilling atmosphere more than makes up for the unconventional scheduling.
As the championship edges closer to its finale, the Las Vegas Grand Prix could play a critical role in shaping the title fight. Whether you’re following the battle between leading drivers, supporting your favorite team, or simply enjoying the spectacle of Formula 1 under the Las Vegas neon glow, this weekend promises unforgettable racing.
Make sure you set your alarms — the Sin City showdown is one you won’t want to miss.
