The Arlington Street Circuit is a street circuit in the city of Arlington, Texas that hosts the IndyCar Series since 2026. It sits near Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium.
History
The Grand Prix of Arlington was announced on October 7, 2024, confirming initial reports the month previous.[2] The circuit features AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, home of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers, respectively, as well as Choctaw Stadium. The event is billed as a partnership between IndyCar, the Cowboys and Rangers, and the City of Arlington.[3]
Circuit design
The Arlington street circuit was designed by Tony Cottman, who has designed several Champ Car and IndyCar street circuits. The circuit is 2.730 mi (4.394 km) long and features fourteen corners. The length of the circuit makes it not only longer than any other IndyCar street circuit but also longer than any permanent road course that IndyCar visits other than the 4.048 mi (6.515 km) Road America circuit. Its 0.900 mi (1.448 km) main straightaway is the longest straight IndyCar has seen on a street or road course. The number of corners on the track ties St. Petersburg Street Circuit for the most on an IndyCar street circuit. The circuit also features a split pit lane similar to the one found on the current Detroit Street Circuit.[4]
