Formula 1 returns to Miami Gardens May 1 through 3, and by year five, the Miami Grand Prix has become its own distinct beast. Consider it an elite motorsport spectacle meets food festival meets dayclub meets a citywide sleep-deprivation experiment.
The race itself unfolds at the Miami International Autodrome, the 19-turn, 3.36-mile circuit wrapped around Hard Rock Stadium. As always, the weekend spills far beyond the track, stretching from Hialeah warehouse parties and Brickell supper clubs to Miami Beach fan fests, Michelin-starred dinners and late-night sets that may or may not end before breakfast.
The Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix takes place Friday, May 1, through Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens.
This marks the race’s fifth year in Miami and the first F1 race on American soil for the new Cadillac F1 Team. Miami has already built a bit of F1 lore: Lando Norris scored his first Formula 1 win here in 2024, while Kimi Antonelli became the youngest driver ever to start from pole position during the 2025 Sprint weekend.
Official tickets are largely tapped out. Campus passes, grandstand seats, luxury options, Paddock Club access, clubs and suites are all sold out through the official site.
That said, this is Miami and there is always another door. Resale tickets are available through platforms such as SeatGeek, StubHub and Vivid Seats. Expect pricing to shift as race week approaches.
A lot, and thankfully not just standard stadium fare. The 2026 race oozes with Miami’s neighborhood identity, with the campus organized around areas like Wynwood, Brickell, Key Biscayne, Miami Beach and Little Havana.
New and returning names include:
Premium hospitality guests get an even deeper lineup, with Ariete, MILA, Ossobuco, Bagatelle, American Social, Pubbelly Sushi, Novecento and Café La Trova among the highlights. Barilla also joins as Formula 1’s official pasta partner, bringing lasagna bars to key areas across campus.
The headline addition is the MSC Yacht Club, a five-level hospitality structure in the Marina overlooking Turns 5 through 9. Think superyacht-inspired design with track views, shaded decks, pools, Bagatelle dining and private cabanas.
Hard Rock Beach Club returns with its poolside viewing setup, featuring Zedd and Nelly on Friday, Marshmello and DJ Diesel on Saturday and Loud Luxury and Kane Brown on Sunday.
The Red Bull Energy Station sits near the Turns 11 and 12 chicane, offering all-inclusive hospitality, driver Q&As, simulators, displays and DJs. Imperial Moto and Off Grid also offer a private hospitality suite at Turn 8, featuring chef-driven menus and premium drinks.
Yes, in the Miami Grand Prix sense of the word. Hard Rock Beach Club brings a beach-club setup inside the circuit, complete with pools, cabanas, trackside views and a three-day entertainment lineup. This year’s acts include Zedd, Nelly, Marshmello, DJ Diesel, Loud Luxury and Kane Brown, so you can catch a headline set while cars rip through a DRS zone.
For those who prefer their Race Week with fewer velvet ropes and more open-air bass, Factory Town delivers. The Hialeah venue stretches across three nights, with Zedd on Friday, Keinemusik’s Rampa on Saturday and Martin Garrix closing Sunday. Expect marathon sets, serious production and a crowd pacing itself for sunrise. May 1-3
Seminole Hard Rock loads up Race Week with a stacked lineup. Guns N’ Roses kick things off April 30, followed by Kane Brown, Nelly and Marshmello on May 1. The Guitar Hotel pool hosts a high-profile party on May 2 featuring Loud Luxury and DJ Diesel, along with an open bar. April 30-May 2
