We’re set for a dramatic conclusion to the F1 season, and to add to the excitement, all three remaining races are night races under the lights. Next up, we head back to the States and the Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 22. Las Vegas is the only event on the F1 calendar where the main race takes place on a Saturday (although it will be a 4 a.m. start on Sunday, 23rd, for UK viewers).
This is a special experience in itself for those lucky souls who are heading to the resort city, with post-race partying and celebrations further heightened. Even if you aren’t travelling to Vegas, you won’t have to miss a single moment of the action, with every session screened or streamed live.
The 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix marked the first F1 race in Las Vegas since the 1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix. The 1980s races were small fry compared to the current out-of-this-world versions, though. Fewer than 30,000 spectators attended the 1982 race, which was held in the hotel’s parking lot. In contrast, weekend crowds of over 300,000 witnessed the street circuit action in both 2023 and 2024.
George Russell was crowned the Vegas king twelve months ago. The Brit, who qualified on pole, claimed his third F1 victory after leading for 49 of the 50 race laps. Max Verstappen was also left beaming from ear to ear. Despite finishing fifth, it proved enough to see him clinch a fourth successive World Championship title, with two races to spare. It was another Vegas high for the Dutchman, who had taken the chequered flag in the resort city in 2023.
Whilst Verstappen has fond memories of his previous Vegas efforts, the top-2 in the title standings, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, will head to Sin City hoping to erase some bad ones. Neither of the McLaren pair managed to finish on the podium (or anywhere near it) in the previous two editions. Norris crashed out after just 4 laps in 2023 and came 6th last year. Piastri hasn’t performed any better, finishing 10th and 7th.

Vegas may not have been one of Lando Norris’ favourite haunts as yet, but he is firmly in the driving seat in terms of the 2025 Drivers’ Championship. After winning in Mexico to claim top spot, he consolidated the No.1 position with another commanding drive in Brazil. Norris may be ecstatic, but on the other side of the McLaren camp, Piastri’s pains persisted as he finished off the podium for a fifth straight race.
Action off the track at Vegas is almost as entertaining as the action on it. The race weekend boasts top attractions, including interactive experiences like F1 X and F1 Drive. Live music forms a huge part of the spectacle on The Strip, too, and this year is no different, with an extensive lineup including Louis Tomlinson, Kane Brown, Zedd, MGK, and T-Pain. Also on the same stage during the course of the three days, the F1 stars appear and speak to their fanatical fans.
Let GOAL give you all the important information you need ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, including the full weekend schedule of events and how you can watch and stream all the action live.

Can I watch the Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025 on F1 TV?
F1 TV is the over-the-top streaming package operated by Formula One Management (FOM), the provider of the world feed for F1 broadcasts throughout each season. The service offers commercial-free coverage of all races as part of a single package. Due to rights deals, F1 TV is limited to the countries it is allowed to operate. The service is not available in the United Kingdom, meaning fans hoping to use it would need a VPN to access it and watch the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
However, you can still purchase F1 TV in the UK to access bonus content, such as live timing, map and leaderboard features, as well as access to team radios and other statistics. You can also view pre- and post-race shows with in-depth analysis and behind-the-scenes facts.
Can I watch the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025 on demand?
If you have a Sky Sports F1 subscription, you can watch a re-run of the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix on demand after the race has finished through the channel’s digital and online options. The Sky Go app, for mobile devices and personal tablets, will allow viewers to watch the race in full, while those with a Sky+ subscription will also be able to record the race and catch it retroactively. Additionally, those with NOW TV will be able to effectively draw upon the Sky Sports F1 coverage, too, though their ability to access on-demand replay broadcasts will be limited due to the nature of the package.
How to watch the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025 from anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the Las Vegas Grand Prix locally, you may need a different way to watch the race. That's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on race day, by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're travelling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to race action. Most VPNs, like ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. We highly recommend using ExpressVPN, but you can also check out our detailed VPN guide for other options.
