The Walt Disney Company and Formula1 yesterday announced their highly anticipated collaboration will kick off at the Las Vegas Grand Prix this November. The exciting global relationship, unveiled earlier this year, will “fuel the magic” for fans by blending world-class sports with Mouse House’s iconic storytelling and an exclusive racing merchandise line.

For the first time ever, maestro Mickey Mouse will take the stage in front of the Fountains of Bellagio in las Vegas for a one-of-a-kind performance from Disney Live Entertainment. The Mickey & Friends-inspired moment will captivate fans with an immersive show featuring enchanting music and thrilling pyrotechnics, a statement from Disney said.

To kick off race day festivities — and in celebration of 70 years of happiness — the Disneyland Band will bring its timeless magic to the grid with a special performance of the American national anthem.

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will also bring Disney magic to a special community day aimed at inspiring local kids in Las Vegas.

Ahead of the qualifying race, Formula 1 has invited Mickey & Friends to join a special pitlane walk and is offering select main grandstand ticket holders the chance to see the teams at work.

“The Disney brand represents the power of storytelling, creativity and connection — values that resonate deeply with fans and partners alike worldwide,” said Tasia Filippatos, President of Disney Consumer Products, adding, “We are thrilled to be uniting sports, pop culture and entertainment in a way that delivers an unforgettable experience for both Mickey and Friends and F1 fans globally.”

“Our collaboration with Disney builds on a shared passion for storytelling, innovation and creating memorable moments,” said Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula1 and President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc.

She observed that as they look ahead to the global Disney’s Mickey & Friends and Formula 1 launch in 2026, the Fuel the Magic program will “bring two iconic brands together” to give fans of all ages a race weekend filled with creativity, entertainment and a touch of magic.

In early November, the Disney x Formula1 merchandise line will debut, seamlessly blending the fun of Mickey & Friends with the sleek and sporty style of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The elevated capsule collection will be available to shop on-site beginning November 8 at the F1 Las Vegas Hub

Whether attending the Las Vegas Grand Prix in person or tuning in remotely, fans will experience the thrill of Formula1 through Disney’s signature creativity, innovation and magic. From exclusive behind-the-scenes content to imaginative storytelling, this collaboration will introduce digital experiences designed to connect fans around the world to the excitement of race weekends, the statement claimed.

On race day, November 22, fans in the United States can join the celebration by watching on ESPN or the ESPN app, bringing the Las Vegas Grand Prix straight to their screens. Fans across the globe can watch the Las Vegas Grand Prix via their local official F1 broadcaster.
