The 2024 Formula One season is flying by, and we’re down to the final stretch, just three races left over the next three weekends. Kicking things off is the much-anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix, the last US race of the year and only its second-ever outing.
Last year, the Vegas GP was a showstopper, with drivers tearing up the iconic Strip under the neon lights, even if things got off to a bumpy start with that infamous loose manhole cover during practice. This time around, the stakes are even higher. The race lands at a make-or-break moment in what’s been the most thrilling championship battle since 2021.
Max Verstappen is sitting pretty at the top of the standings, thanks to a jaw-dropping performance in Brazil earlier this month that stretched his lead to a hefty 62 points. But while Lando Norris’s title hopes have taken a hit, he’s not out of the running just yet. Meanwhile, the constructor’s championship is heating up, with McLaren barely holding off Ferrari and Red Bull. It’s all still up for grabs, so buckle up - it’s going to be a wild ride!
So, how can you catch all the action across yet another busy F1 weekend from the US? GOAL provides information on where to watch the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, including channel, timings, and recommended packages for those looking to soak up all the action.

The majority of the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend will also be streamed on ESPN+. At just $11.99/month, it's the best way to watch the races without linear television.

Formula One will return to the strip after debuting at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit last season.

John Watson and Eddie Cheever completed the podium.
