Formula 1 returns to America: Las Vegas Grand Prix live on ESPN networks

With a close driver championship chase coming down to the last three races of the season, the Formula 1 World Championship will make its final stop of 2025 in the United States for the Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday night, Nov. 22, with live coverage on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and the ESPN App.

The third running of the event will once again be contested on a racing circuit created from the world-famous Las Vegas strip, with the race held at night as the strip’s bright lights and casinos provide a bright and colorful backdrop. Coverage begins with the Grand Prix Sunday pre-race show at 9:30 p.m. ET, with the race starting at 10:55 p.m. on ESPN.

Starting two hours earlier than it has the past two years, the race telecast will air commercial-free, presented by Mercedes-Benz.

Surrounding the race telecast and coverage of other on-track activity, ESPN will have on-site coverage by SportsCenter for three days and ABC’s Good Morning America is scheduled to air a race preview. Digital content will include full coverage on ESPN.com/F1, exclusive live preview and post-race shows on race day and multiple podcasts.

ESPN platforms also will present live coverage of Formula 1 qualifying and all three practice sessions in the days leading up to the race. F1 fans will have two alternate telecasts on ESPN+ for supplemental viewing during the race – the Driver Tracker Channel and the Onboard Cameras Channel. Both begin streaming at 10:55 p.m.

ESPN will utilize a Las Vegas-themed set in the F1 paddock for programs and reports. When the set is not in use, it will be open for fans to take photos.
