Miami Didn'tJust Host a Race.It Became One.
Six editions in. Sold out every time. The Formula 1 Hard Rock Miami Grand Prix is no longer a new event — it's a permanent fixture in the city's identity. Premier Guide Miami tracks everything: tickets, the weekend schedule, the music, the people, and the free angles.
Miami Didn't Just Get a Race. Miami Became the Race That Changed What Formula 1 Looks Like in America.
When Formula 1 announced its first Miami Grand Prix in 2022, the skeptics were loud. A street circuit around a stadium parking lot? In a city that doesn't have a racing tradition? The first race sold out in hours. The second sold out faster. By the third, it was one of the most-watched Grands Prix in the United States.
Five editions later, the Formula 1 Hard Rock Miami Grand Prix is a permanent fixture on the world calendar — and a cultural event that extends far beyond the circuit. The 2027 edition runs April 30 through May 2 at the Miami International Autodrome, now under a multi-year title partnership with Hard Rock International.
This is not just a race. It's a weekend that transforms the city — and Premier Guide Miami is your guide to all of it.
Miami International Autodrome · Miami Gardens, FL
Six Editions. Six Sellouts. How Miami Became Formula 1's American Flagship.
By Premier Guide Miami · Updated November 2026
The numbers tell the story. The 2022 inaugural Miami Grand Prix drew 240,000 fans over three days. The 2023 edition broke that record. By 2025, the Miami Grand Prix had become the highest-attended sporting event in South Florida history — surpassing the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, and every other marquee event the city has hosted. Formula 1 didn't just find an American audience. It found its American home.
The Miami International Autodrome
The circuit wraps around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens — a 5.41-kilometer layout with 19 corners, three DRS zones, and a top speed of over 320 km/h on the main straight. It's a hybrid track: part street circuit, part purpose-built racing surface. The grandstands hold 80,000 spectators. The marina complex — a landlocked artificial marina built specifically for the event — has become one of the most photographed backdrops in motorsport.
Hard Rock Takes the Title
In September 2026, Hard Rock International signed a multi-year naming rights deal with South Florida Motorsports, officially renaming the event the Formula 1 Hard Rock Miami Grand Prix beginning with the 2027 race. The partnership deepens a relationship that dates to the inaugural 2022 edition — Hard Rock Stadium has hosted the race since day one. The deal makes Hard Rock the first title sponsor in the event's history and cements the connection between Miami's most iconic entertainment brand and its most-watched annual sporting event.
The Youngest Woman President in F1 History
In October 2025, the Miami Grand Prix promoted Katharina Nowak to President — making her the youngest woman to hold such a role in Formula 1 history at just 28 years old. Formerly Vice President of Business Operations, Nowak has been integral to the race's record-breaking attendance and sponsorship growth since 2023. Under her leadership, the event has expanded its hospitality footprint, deepened its community partnerships, and positioned Miami as the model for how a modern Grand Prix should operate.
Sprint Weekend: Four Sessions, One Weekend
The 2027 Miami Grand Prix is a Sprint weekend — one of ten on the calendar. That means four competitive sessions across three days: Sprint Qualifying on Thursday, the Sprint Race on Saturday morning, Qualifying on Saturday afternoon, and the Grand Prix on Sunday. Sprint weekends are the most action-packed format in Formula 1. Every session matters. Every lap counts. For fans at the circuit, it means racing from the moment the gates open.

Formula 1 Has Always Been a Music Event. Miami Made It Official.

The 2027 concert lineup has not yet been announced. When it drops, Premier Guide Miami will have it first.
