Austin Welcomes Back the Formula 1 US Grand Prix 2025 – Dates, Tickets & More
Formula 1 United States Grand Prix Returns to Austin in 2025
The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix is making its way back to Austin, Texas, from October 17–19, 2025, at the world-famous Circuit of The Americas (COTA). Fans can look forward to an adrenaline-filled weekend as elite drivers tackle COTA’s challenging 20-turn track. Here’s what to expect:
Music & Entertainment
Race weekend at COTA is more than just high-speed action—it’s a full festival experience. Multiple stages will be set up across the venue, hosting live music and performances all weekend long. The 2025 lineup features global DJ Kygo on Friday, country legend Garth Brooks on Saturday, and the Turnpike Troubadours closing things out on Sunday.
Food & Culinary Experiences
COTA’s Culinary Experience will spotlight the best of Texas dining with food villages showcasing more than 30 restaurants. Guests can sample tacos, barbecue, biscuits, and other Austin favorites. Each eatery will serve a small menu of specialty items, giving fans a chance to enjoy a true Texas food tour while at the track.

Tickets & Packages
Tickets for the USGP often sell out quickly, so early purchase is encouraged. Options range from grandstand seating and grounds passes to single-day tickets and 3-day packages. The 3-day option is a fan favorite, granting access to concerts, practice sessions on Friday and Saturday, qualifying rounds, and Sunday’s big race.
For a seamless experience, fans can also book COTA travel packages, which include race tickets, Austin hotel stays, and exclusive hospitality upgrades. Premium packages provide access to the best views, private entertainment, and other perks to elevate the weekend.
Transportation & Parking
To ease traffic, COTA has partnered with CapMetro to provide shuttle services throughout race weekend. Passes will be available daily, with three different pick-up points for added convenience.
