South Florida Motorsports (SFM), organizers of the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX, have announced a full slate of track activity for 2026 F1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix weekend.

The 2026 edition of the race — set for May 1-3 — will once again feature Sprint Qualifying on Friday, the F1 Sprint race on Saturday and the Grand Prix on Sunday at the 3.36-mile Miami International Autodrome. Miami will be the only American race to host an F1 Sprint next season, following the record-breaking event this past May. The Saturday fixture set a new viewership record for Formula 1 since the format was introduced in 2021 and featured 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli on P1 of the starting grid — the youngest-ever pole sitter of an F1 race.

“We’re proud that Miami has become one of the premier race weekends on the Formula 1 calendar and we plan to raise the bar once again in 2026,” said Katharina Nowak, President of the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX. “The return of the Sprint race gives fans world-class racing every single day, and we’re complementing that with exciting support action in McLaren Trophy America and Porsche Carrera Cup North America. We’re committed to providing an experience where fans can feel the energy of Miami while enjoying a full slate of the world’s best motorsport action.”

Miami will once again offer an action-packed support program, with the Formula 1 debut of McLaren Trophy America. In only its second full season, the one-make championship for the stunning 585PS twin-turbo McLaren Artura Trophy car will feature two 40-minute (plus one lap) races in Miami Gardens. In addition, Porsche Carrera Cup North America returns to the Miami International Autodrome for the third consecutive year, bringing the newly-announced Porsche 911 Cup car (type 992.2), promising faster lap times and competitive racing. Miami continues to open the campus to fans, who will be able to get up close to the action at Motorsports Alley presented by Ticketmaster, where both the McLaren and Porsche support paddocks will be accessible throughout the weekend

Fans can now purchase tickets across a variety of options, including 1-Day Grandstand tickets. Amex Presale Tickets® for 1-Day options are available exclusively to American Express® Card Members from October 29 at 12 p.m. ET through November 3 at 12 p.m. ET, while supplies last. Introduced in 2025, 1-Day Grandstand tickets give fans the flexibility to choose the day or days that best fit their schedule, creating a customizable way to experience the excitement of race weekend.

A new addition for 2026 is Grandstand+ presented by Heineken, which extends the race weekend experience to Thursday, granting fans exclusive access to the Opening Night Kick-Off Party. The new Grandstand+ program also includes access to Stadium Club, complimentary offsite parking with shuttle service and two Heineken® beers each day (must be 21+ to enjoy this benefit). To access Grandstand+ benefits, fans must purchase a 3-Day Grandstand ticket and enroll in auto-renewal after checkout.

In addition to Grandstand+ presented by Heineken, the return of the Grandstand Pass gives spectators the opportunity to view the action from a different location on each day of the weekend. All ticket holders will continue to enjoy the diverse entertainment and activations around the Campus, including world-class food and beverage offerings. The FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX remains the only Formula 1 event where fans can enjoy views directly into the F1 Team Village, as spectators have an unparalleled look into the heart of the paddock from the 300 level of Hard Rock Stadium.

Returning for its fifth year, the race around Hard Rock Stadium is set to deliver more excitement than ever, with a full schedule of racing, world-class hospitality, and the festival-style entertainment that has made Miami one of the most popular stops on the global Formula 1 calendar.
