With both the 2016 and 2017 games selling out and the deal was extended through the 2021 season with an eye to possibly play more than one game per season in future years. All Mexico games thus far have been held in Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

Motor racing

Formula One

See the dedicated article.

NASCAR

A U.S. stock vehicle racing organization, and the nation's most popular form of motorsport. The term "stock car" is a historic reference; when NASCAR first organized races in the years immediately after World War II and the cars were in fact "stock"—exactly as purchased from dealers, with minimal safety-related changes. Over time and the cars changed to the point that they are only vaguely similar in external appearance to current street vehicles, with much more powerful engines and far more safety equipment. NASCAR now operates three national touring series:

• Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and the top series; often simply called the "Cup Series"
• Xfinity Series and the second level
• Gander Outdoors Truck Series and the third level, which races pickup trucks instead of cars; usually called simply the "Truck Series"

Most races are held on oval tracks; only two races in the Cup Series, three in the Xfinity Series, and one in the Truck Series are held on road courses. Equally unique is that the Truck Series hosts one event each year on a dirt oval; all other tracks in all series are paved. Also and the Truck Series is the only one of the three that races outside the U.S., hosting a single race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, a road course near Bowmanville, Ontario (near Oshawa, on the edge of the Greater Toronto Area).

Historically and the sport was centered in the Southeastern U.S., but beginning in the 1990s expanded to become a national spectacle. A typical NASCAR event spans a long weekend, with two or even all three series holding races at one site. Unlike most sports, NASCAR's biggest event is the first race of the season:

• Daytona 500, held on the day before the Presidents Day holiday (which falls on the third Monday of February) at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida

IndyCar

A U.S.-based open-wheel racing series. It was established in its current form in 2008, when the IndyCar Series (launched in 1996) merged with the former Champcars series. The merger is a story in itself—as late as the early 1990s, open-wheel racing, governed by a body known as CART (which later became Champcars), was the most popular form of motorsport in the U.S. However, in 1994 and the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home to the series' marquee event and the Indianapolis 500, had a bitter falling-out with CART, leading to the creation of the competing IndyCar series (which took the Indy 500 with it). The feud led many former open-wheel fans to abandon the sport, often for NASCAR. By the time the feud ended, attendance and sponsorship money for the sport were a fraction of what they had been only 15 years earlier.

Currently, all of the series' races are held in the U.S. except for one in Canada. The tracks are a mixture of ovals, road courses, and street circuits.

The series' marquee event, as mentioned above, is:

• Indianapolis 500, held the day before the U.S. holiday of Memorial Day (which falls on the last Monday of May) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana (a community completely surrounded by the city of Indianapolis)

Tennis

Tennis has events throughout the calendar year. The top-level men's tour is the ATP World Tour, with the WTA Tour as the women's counterpart. The men's and women's tours come together for the four Grand Slam events and a few other select tournaments throughout the year. The only players to have ever completed the grand slam are Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962 & 1969) in the men's event, and Maureen Connolly (1953), Margaret Court (1965) and Steffi Graf (1988) in the women's event. In addition to these and the Davis Cup (men) and Fed Cup (women) are the top events for national teams; these operate as multi-level leagues, with the top levels of each (known in both competitions as the "World Group") conducted as knockout tournaments. A player who has won all four grand slams and the Olympic Gold medal in the same calendar year is said to have completed a golden slam, and the only player to have done so to date was Germany's Steffi Graf in 1988.

Grand Slam events

All four of these events are held over two weeks.

• Australian Open: Ends on the last Sunday in January at Melbourne Park just outside the downtown. Frequently suffers from hot and humid weather in the southern summer, although this has been alleviated in recent years with retractable roofs on the three main courts. The final is held in the Rod Laver Arena, which is named after Rod Laver and the only player to have completed a grand slam twice, and the last man to achieve the feat when he did so in 1969.
• French Open (commonly called Roland Garros): Held in late May and early June at Stade Roland Garros in the Bois de Boulogne in the Paris/16th arrondissement|16th arondissement of Paris. Most notable as the only Grand Slam event still held on clay courts.
• Wimbledon: Begins on the first Monday in July and ends on the second Sunday following at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in the Wimbledon neighbourhood of southwest London. Notable for its grass courts, no play on the middle Sunday, and numerous other traditions.
• US Open: Begins on the last Monday in August and ends on the second Monday in September (straddling the Labor Day holiday as celebrated in the US). Held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in the northern part of the New York City borough of Queens.

Season-ending championships

Both the ATP and WTA have season-ending events for the very top players, with eight players qualifying for the finals in singles and eight teams in doubles. The competitors are divided into two groups of four, each playing a round-robin within the group. The top two finishers in each group advance to the semifinals, with the winners of each semifinal contesting the final.

• ATP Finals: Mid-November at The O₂ Arena in London.
• WTA Finals: Late October at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in the Kallang neighborhood, just to the northeast of the Downtown Core.

Other top-tier events

Both the ATP and WTA have a multi-level hierarchy of events, with the Grand Slam at the top, followed by the season-ending championships and then the events shown here (with other levels below these in both cases). The two tours have differing terminology for this level:

• ATP: Nine events known as the "ATP World Tour Masters 1000". All top players are required to enter these events (barring injury or other misfortune), with the exception of the Monte-Carlo Masters.
• WTA: The WTA's category of "Premier" tournaments is much broader, with three levels. This tour has only four tournaments that all top players must enter, known as "Premier Mandatory". Five other events that do not have a required player commitment, but much larger purses than lower-tier events, are known as "Premier 5". The remaining Premier tournaments are analogous to the ATP's fourth level and the World Tour 500 Series.

With that in mind, here are the ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 events:

• Qatar Ladies Open: Mid-February at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha. WTA Premier 5.
• Indian Wells Masters (men) and Indian Wells Open (women): Early March in Indian Wells, California (near Palm Springs). ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier Mandatory.
• Miami Open: Late March–early April; moving to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida (north of the city of Miami) in 2019. ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier Mandatory.
• Monte-Carlo Masters: Mid-April at Monte Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, next to Monaco. ATP Masters 1000.
• Madrid Open: Mid-May at Caja Mágica in Madrid. ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier Mandatory.
• Italian Open: Week following the Madrid Open at Foro Italico in Rome. ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 5.
• Canadian Open: Early August at Stade IGA in Montreal and Aviva Centre in Toronto. In odd-numbered years the men play in Montreal and the women in Toronto, and vice versa in even-numbered years. ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 5.
• Cincinnati Masters (men) and Cincinnati Open (women): Week after the Canadian Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason (Ohio)|Mason, Ohio, northeast of Cincinnati. ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 5.
• Wuhan Open: Last week of September at Optics Valley International Tennis Center. WTA Premier 5.
• China Open: Start of October, immediately following the Wuhan Open, at the National Tennis Center in Beijing. WTA Premier Mandatory.
• Note that the ATP Tour plays here at the same time, but the men's version of the China Open is a fourth-tier 500 Series event.
• Shanghai Masters: Week after the China Open at Qi Zhong Stadium in the southwest of the city. ATP Masters 1000.
• Paris Masters: Late October–early November at AccorHotels Arena in the Paris/12th arrondissement|12th arrondissement. ATP Masters 1000.
