Official practice, qualifying, and race times for United States Grand Prix at Austin, United States.
The fixture
Why it matters
The United States Grand Prix returns to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, known for its steep Turn 1 climb and stadium atmosphere. This LeagueSports fixture page covers race start in SAST, why the Texas weekend still pulls South African evening crews to sports bars, and how to plan a late watch. Follow the race, check screening venues as they publish, and share the link so your group is ready for lights out at COTA.
Local angle
Where it lands
Austin starts at 21:00 SAST, so Joburg COTA fans in Rosebank and Sandton often stay for an evening elevation-heavy race. Cape Town night owls can turn the United States GP into a late sports-bar session. Follow this fixture, use the Joburg F1 watch guide, and only book once a venue lists the race.
