The United States Grand Prix will remain on the Formula One calendar until the 2034 season, F1 said in a statement on Sunday, just a few hours ahead of this year's race.
The race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin has become a traditional event since its debut in 2012.
F1 has recently expanded their presence in the US with the addition of the Miami GP and the Las Vegas GP as they try to reach bigger audiences in the country.
"Each year, the event at the Circuit of The Americas stands out as a true highlight for fans, drivers, and teams alike, drawing hundreds of thousands of passionate supporters who come to witness the thrilling on-track action and soak up the vibrant energy of the circuit and the city," F1 president Stefano Domenicali said.
Defending champion Max Verstappen won the US GP sprint race on Saturday and will start the main event later on pole position.
Ahead of the race, Oscar Piastri leads the drivers' championship 22 points ahead of McLaren team-mate Lando Norris, while Verstappen cut the gap to the top to 55 points.
