AUSTIN, TEXAS - OCTOBER 22: Fernando Alonso of Spain driving the (14) Aston Martin AMR23 Mercedes

The 2024 United States Grand Prix weekend will take place between 18–20 October 2024.

Officially the FORMULA 1 PIRELLI UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX 2024, the Grand Prix itself starts at 14:00 local time (UTC -5) on Sunday, 20 October, at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.

The United States Grand Prix at COTA quickly established itself as one of the most exciting and eagerly anticipated races on the calendar when F1 first visited Austin in 2012. The capital of the Lone Star State lights up when Formula 1 comes to town – it's an F1 Sprint weekend in 2024 too, so there'll be even more action!
