2026 Motorsport Calendar: What's Racing This Year Across F1, WEC, IMSA, MotoGP and More

Updated

The 2026 motorsport season spans 364 events across 34 series, all collected into a single filterable calendar at raceweek.io. If you follow more than one championship — or want to know what's racing this week without checking six different sites — that combined view is the fastest starting point. Session times are shown in your local timezone, which matters most for endurance starts and qualifying sessions held in other regions.

How the 2026 season is structured

The calendar covers both headline world championships and the support and feeder series that run alongside them. Across the 34 series listed, the spread looks roughly like this:

Category Examples from the calendar
Single-seaters F1, F2, F3, Formula E
Endurance WEC, IMSA, ELMS, FIM EWC, 24H Series
Two wheels MotoGP, WSBK
Rally WRC, FIA European Rally Championship
Rallycross FIA European Rallycross Championship (Euro RX)
Touring cars BTCC, DTM, Super GT, V8 Supercars
Stock cars NASCAR
Karting and more Listed among the 34 series

The practical consequence: F2 and F3 weekends are built around the F1 calendar, so if you're planning to watch F1 you can usually catch the junior races on the same weekend. Endurance and rally championships run on their own schedules and need separate planning.

Key rounds for the headline championships

From the series descriptions available:

  • WEC — 8 rounds in 2026 for Hypercar and LMGT3, at Imola, Spa, Le Mans, São Paulo, Fuji, Barcelona and Monza. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the headline event.
  • F2 — 14 rounds supporting the F1 calendar, from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi, with qualifying, a sprint race and a feature race each weekend.
  • F3 — 9 rounds supporting F1, same qualifying/sprint/feature format.
  • ELMS — 6 rounds of 4-hour racing at Barcelona, Paul Ricard, Imola, Spa, Silverstone and Portimão.
  • DTM — 8 rounds at European circuits including the Norisring street circuit, Nürburgring and Hockenheimring.
  • BTCC — 10 rounds, three races per weekend, at Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Oulton Park, Knockhill and others.
  • 24H Series — 5 rounds of 12-hour and 24-hour races at Mugello, Spa-Francorchamps, Paul Ricard, Nürburgring and Barcelona.
  • ERC — 7 rounds including Rally di Roma Capitale, Rally Poland, Barum Czech Rally Zlín and Rally de Portugal.
  • Euro RX — 7 rounds across Latvia, Hungary, Sweden, Ireland, France and a Portugal double-header.

For F1, MotoGP, IMSA, IndyCar, NASCAR, WRC and Super GT, the calendar lists them among the 34 series; check the individual series view for their round counts and venues.

Filtering the calendar to what you actually watch

A 364-event calendar is only useful if you can narrow it. The site is described as filterable and multilingual, with a "know what's racing this week" framing. In practice, the useful filters are:

  1. By series — pick F1, WEC, MotoGP or any of the 34 championships so you're not scrolling past karting and rallycross rounds you don't follow.
  2. By date — a weekly view answers "what's on this weekend" without opening each series separately.
  3. By region — helpful when you want to attend in person or only watch events in a workable timezone.

Why local session times change your planning

Session times are displayed in your local timezone. This is the detail that most often trips people up:

  • A European endurance race starting in the afternoon can land in the early hours for viewers in Asia or the Americas.
  • Qualifying and sprint races are often held on different days from the main race, so a "race weekend" can mean three separate viewing slots.
  • Endurance events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24H Series rounds run continuously, so the start time matters less than the finish — plan around when you can actually watch.

Checking the local-time view before committing to a weekend is the difference between catching a race live and finding out it finished while you were asleep.

Feeder and support series around the main weekends

If you follow F1, the F2 and F3 rounds are the easiest add-on — they run at the same venues on the same weekends, with a qualifying session, a sprint race and a feature race each. ELMS and the 24H Series fill out the European endurance calendar around WEC's longer gaps, and BTCC and DTM give you touring car racing on weekends when the world championships are idle. Building a personal watch list across two or three of these series is realistic; trying to follow all 34 is not.

Start from the combined 2026 calendar, filter to the series you care about, and check the local-time view for each weekend before it arrives.
