Formula One 2026: What time is Sunday’s United States Grand Prix?

The 2026 Formula One season will feature 23 races, the 18th of which will take place in the United States this weekend.

The season was originally scheduled to have 24 races, but the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was postponed following the outbreak of the United States-Iran war.

The next battle for the title is scheduled for the Circuit of the Americas in Texas on Sunday, 25 October.

The lights will go out at 22:00 (SA time).

Title decided?

McLaren’s Kimi Antonelli can clinch his maiden title this weekend should he win and other results go his way.

Lando Norris is the defending Formula One drivers’ champion while McLaren are the reigning constructors’ title winners.

As a reminder, last year’s United States Grand Prix was won by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen with Norris in second and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in third.
