Las Vegas GP: UK start times and how to watch on Sky

Formula 1 heads to Las Vegas with both 2026 world championships already decided, though the competition at the front of the field remains close. The Las Vegas Strip Circuit opens a triple-header that finishes with the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix in the Middle East.

Mercedes wrapped up the Constructors' Championship at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, following Kimi Antonelli becoming F1's youngest ever world champion in Mexico City. Max Verstappen has been on the last eight podiums and sits 17 points clear of George Russell in the battle for second in the standings, with Lewis Hamilton a point further back.

For UK and Irish viewers, all track sessions run in the late afternoon or evening in Las Vegas, eight hours behind the UK. Qualifying and the race both start at 4am GMT, and Sky Sports F1 will show full session re-runs each morning, with highlights on the Sky Sports website and app.
