2026 Grand Prix of Long Beach tickets on sale Monday morning

Race fans, your time is coming.

The 2026 edition of the Grand Prix of Long Beach is just around the corner, with next year’s racing extravaganza set to take place from April 17 to 19.

And tickets for the event will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 10, according to the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, the event’s organizers.

The 2025 Grand Prix was a milestone in many ways. The “200 mph beach party,” as its dubbed, not only broke its own attendance record for the third year running — with more than 197,000 flooding downtown Long Beach to experience the event — but it also celebrated its 50th anniversary.

This year, Kyle Kirkwood took his second Long Beach checkered flag in dominant fashion — he also won in 2023 — beating second-place finisher Alex Palou by about 4 seconds, and leading for 45 of the 90 laps.

Besides the titular race on Sunday, however, the 2025 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach was packed with both on- and off-the-track activities throughout the weekend — and even before the start of the event — to celebrate five decades of motorsports history.

Jim Michaelian, president and CEO of the Grand Prix of Long Beach Association, said in a Thursday, Nov. 6, news release that the organization is hoping to carry over the hype surrounding the 2025 Grand Prix into next year’s event.

“The 2026 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach will build on the momentum of our golden anniversary celebration with an elevated program across the board,” Michaelian said. “We’ll have expanded fan activities, world-class wheel-to-wheel racing with full fields and our all-new double-decker Premium Pit Row Suites, which will give us an exciting new look on Shoreline Drive.”

The main IndyCar race is scheduled for Sunday, April 19. But the weekend will also feature other fan favorites, including the Formula Super Drift Challenge, Robby Gordon’s Super Trucks, the Porsche Carrera Cup, a historic sports care race, and more.

Next year’s event will also feature its classic off-track offerings, including the expansive Lifestyle Expo with more than 100 exhibitors, the Family Fun Zone, and plenty to eat and drink.

“The Acura Grand Prix has never stood still,” Michaelian said, “and 2026 will raise the bar again for thrills on-track and entertainment throughout the weekend.”

Prices range from $56 for Friday general admission to $221 for a three-day ticket with reserved grandstand seating on Saturday and Sunday.
