Las Vegas will host the finale of next year’s all-female F1 Academy series after races on three continents, organisers announced on Monday.
Las Vegas was one of three new venues listed on the seven-round, 14-race 2025 calendar, along with China’s Shanghai as the opener in March and Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Europe will have only one round, at Zandvoort in the Netherlands in late August, while North America has three: Miami in May, ahead of Montreal in June and Las Vegas in November.
Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah circuit hosts round two in April and Singapore the penultimate round in October.
The races coincide with Formula One grands prix at the same venues.

“Finishing our season in Las Vegas will be an iconic moment and its addition to the calendar is testament to the wealth of support we receive from Formula One and Liberty Media,” said F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff.
The series, supported by all 10 Formula One teams with a nominated driver and liveried cars, uses 1.4 litre-engined Tatuus F4 cars with a top speed of 240kph and is currently in its second season.
An F1 Academy docu-series is also set to be released by Netflix, who also film the hit Formula One Drive to Survive series, next year. This year’s championship ends in Abu Dhabi in December.
This Las Vegas Grand Prix will have a Ferrari support race on the programme for the first time this week, after last year’s debut down the famed Strip drew some criticism of the limited track action compared to the offering elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Formula One will move the Canadian Grand Prix to a new slot in May from 2026, in an effort to cut down on travel and its environmental impact.
F1 said on Monday that the race in Montreal will move to “the third or fourth weekend in May each year” from its current June slot, where it’s currently in the middle of a succession of European races, forcing teams to travel across the Atlantic Ocean and back for a single weekend.

The decision has been agreed with the race’s promoter after consultation with Canadian authorities, F1 said. But it still needs to be approved by the sport’s governing body, the FIA.
F1 president and chief executive Stefano Domenicali thanked the Canadian organisers for agreeing to “accelerate the temporary build” needed to host the race on Notre Dame Island, within the city of Montreal.
This year’s Canadian Grand Prix was on June 9, sandwiched between races in Monaco and Spain, and next year it is scheduled for June 15, between races in Spain and Austria.
The new date could potentially see the Canadian Grand Prix follow on from F1’s race in Miami, which is held in early May under a 10-year contract that began in 2022.
An agreement signed in 2021 after two cancellations amid the COVID-19 pandemic extended the Canadian Grand Prix’s place on the F1 calendar up to 2031.
Alongside its expansion to a record 24-race schedule this season, F1 has sought to limit the impact of transporting teams, cars and staff around the world. The Japanese Grand Prix moved to a date in April this season to sit between races in China and Australia.
