The FIA World Endurance Championship has released its 2026 calendar which focuses on stability as the series looks to build on the huge increase in popularity it has enjoyed over recent seasons.
The season opens with the now-traditional Prologue in Qatar before Round One at the Losail circuit on the last weekend of March.
After three European rounds at Imola, Spa-Francorchamps and Le Mans, the FIA WEC moves to the Americas with the Rolex 6 Hours of Sao Paolo on July 10 – 12 followed by Lone Star Le Mans at the Circuit of The Americas in September.
The FIA WEC then looks East for the concluding two rounds, starting with Fuji on September 25 – 27 and the Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain on November 5 – 7.
Frédéric Lequien, CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship, said:
“We are pleased to present our 2026 FIA WEC calendar, which reflects the series’ success by building on a winning formula and format. All eight events have established themselves as firm favourites amongst competitors and fans. Every circuit offers its won unique characteristics and challenges – and invariably brings out the best from our incredible drivers, cars and teams.
“We look forward to continuing to put on a thrilling show all around the world.”
