Experience the Formula 1 Lenovo Grand Prix du Canada 2026 like a VIP

A fixture on the F1^® calendar since 1978, the FORMULA 1 LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2026 (May 22 to 24, 2026) is renowned for the tight corners and high-speed straights of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and the multi-sensory exhilaration the race brings to the packed grandstand crowds every year.

It’s no surprise that Toronto motorsports fans of all ages flock to Montreal to bask in the thrills, excitement and blistering speeds of the event, but what if you could accelerate your visit even more?

With American Express, you can. In fact, the experience can start even before race weekend: eligible Cardmembers can access Front Of The Line^® Amex Presale Tickets^TM, unlocking access to some of the most in-demand events, like F1^®, before the general public.

American Express Cardmembers in Montreal for race weekend can revel in a range of full-throttle experiences. The ultimate F1^® race weekend awaits.

Exclusive on-the-track excitement

The full-body vibrations from the roar of the engines, the smell of burning rubber, the tangible energy of the racers, fans and pit crews reverberating in the air—nothing rivals the high-octane feeling of being as close to the F1^® action as possible, and eligible American Express Cardmembers score exclusive access to the Trackside Lounge, a prime viewing area delivering unparalleled sightlines to the starting grid and the podium ceremony.

Being an F1^® fan also means being part of a passionate global community, and the Amex Racing Club within the F1^® Fan Zone offers onsite fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in all things Formula 1^®. From race day–inspired mini games to super-cool photo ops and the chance to create personalized accessories, fans can mingle with their friends, families and fellow fans to build lasting memories together.

Need to recharge or unwind? No problem. Just make a pit stop for race day essentials before stepping into the Recovery Room, an air-conditioned space within the Amex Racing Club, where Cardmembers (and one guest each) can relax and reset in style.

And be sure to pick up an Amex Race Radio from one of the branded towers throughout the grounds so you can listen to live F1^® and F1 ACADEMY^TM commentary and keep up with every second of the action, no matter where you are on the race site.

Exceptional off-the-track eats

Taking in all the races and fan events at the FORMULA 1 LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2026 works up an appetite, and eligible American Express Cardmembers can refuel with culinary delights beyond the event grounds. From May 21 to 24, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., eligible Cardmembers can sample complimentary food from Le Violon’s co-executive chef, Danny Smiles, at Maison Amex (2120 Rue de la Montagne), a premium lounge and bespoke pit stop perfect for sensational pre- and post-race snacking. And Platinum Cardmembers can savour a full menu of Chef Smiles’ bold, creative cuisine by booking a table and indulging in a meal at Le Violon.

Elevated travel experiences

A truly special experience extends to travel, making it as lavish and stress-free as possible—think chic rooms, luxuriously late 4 p.m. checkouts, tasty breakfasts for two to start the day—and heading to the FORMULA 1 LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2026 is no exception. American Express Platinum Cardmembers who book a Fine Hotels + Resorts property through Amex Travel can enjoy all those perks and more, including a unique property benefit and a room upgrade, when available.
