Miami Grand Prix 2025: How Many US Venues Have Hosted a Formula 1 Race?

The Formula 1 calendar resumes this weekend with the Miami Grand Prix, bringing an end to a five-week break in the 2025 season. The race at the Hard Rock Stadium circuit marks another chapter in the sport’s growing footprint across the United States.

Miami was added to that list in 2022, becoming the 11th venue in the United States to have staged a Formula 1 grand prix. The milestone placed the Florida circuit alongside a collection of historic and now-defunct American tracks that have featured on the F1 calendar across different eras of the sport.

The United States has a long and varied history with Formula 1, stretching back to 1959 when the US Grand Prix was first held at Sebring International Raceway in Florida. Over the decades, grands prix have taken place at iconic venues including Watkins Glen in New York, which hosted the race from 1961 to 1980, and the streets of Long Beach, California, which served as an F1 venue from 1976 to 1983.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway, one of the most storied circuits in motorsport history, also features on that list, having hosted the United States Grand Prix from 2000 to 2007. The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, which opened in 2012, remains the sport’s primary permanent US venue and continues to host a round of the world championship to this day.

With Las Vegas joining the calendar in 2023, the United States now hosts three Formula 1 races per season — in Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas — reflecting the sport’s significant commercial expansion in the North American market under Liberty Media’s ownership. That figure could yet grow further, with ongoing discussions about potential additional American venues reported in recent years.

The Miami Grand Prix itself is held on a purpose-built street-style circuit laid out around the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens. Since its debut in 2022, the event has attracted significant attention both for its on-track action and its high-profile entertainment offerings, consistent with F1’s broader strategy of targeting major urban markets in the United States.

As the season restarts in Florida, all eyes will be on the championship standings and whether the Miami circuit produces the kind of unpredictable racing that has characterised several of the early rounds in 2025.
