How to follow US Grand Prix on the BBC

The 2026 Formula 1 calendar brings the United States Grand Prix to the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, for October 23–25, marking a pivotal round in the championship. Max Verstappen’s recent dominance in Singapore—where he secured pole position and won both the sprint and main race—set the tone for the season, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Mercedes’ Kimi Räikkönen finished second and third, respectively.

Verstappen’s closest challenger, Räikkönen, now has a realistic shot at the world title if he wins in Austin while teammate Russell finishes ninth or lower and Lewis Hamilton places fifth or worse. The race will also see a time change for UK viewers, with Friday and Saturday sessions on BST and the Sunday race under GMT, starting at 20:00 local time.
