F1 Secures Landmark Miami Grand Prix Deal in Major U.S. Expansion

Formula 1 has announced a groundbreaking new contract for the Miami Grand Prix, solidifying the race’s place on the calendar for years to come in a move hailed as a major boost for the sport’s U.S. presence. The long-term deal, unveiled just ahead of this weekend’s highly anticipated event, reaffirms F1’s commitment to growing its footprint in North America and cements Miami as a key fixture in the global motorsport calendar.

 

The new contract extends the Miami Grand Prix’s tenure at the Miami International Autodrome, located around the iconic Hard Rock Stadium, well into the next decade. The agreement reflects the success and popularity of the race, which debuted in 2022 and has quickly become a fan and sponsor favorite. With glitz, celebrity appearances, and a high-energy atmosphere, the Miami GP has been instrumental in Formula 1’s rising popularity across the United States.

“This is a major moment for Formula 1 in America,” said Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1. “The Miami Grand Prix has delivered on every front—from world-class racing to fan experience and global reach. Securing its long-term future is a key part of our strategy to build on the momentum we’ve created in the U.S.”

The extended contract also brings commitments from race organizers to invest in fan experience upgrades, sustainability initiatives, and local community engagement programs. Improvements to grandstand capacity, hospitality suites, and transport access are among the enhancements planned as the event looks to scale up and set new benchmarks.

With three U.S.-based races now on the calendar—Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas—Formula 1 is continuing to tap into the massive American market. The Miami GP has stood out not just for its thrilling on-track battles, but also for its festival-like ambiance that draws celebrities, influencers, and business heavyweights.

The announcement sets the stage for what promises to be a blockbuster weekend in Florida, with the sport’s biggest stars ready to shine under the South Florida sun. With this contract now secured, Miami is poised to remain a centerpiece of the F1 calendar for years to come.
