Calendar

2026 FIA World Endurance Championship

The calendar was announced on 13 June 2025, during the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend. The calendar was unchanged from 2025, with the only notable change that the Qatar race was planned to move from February to March. In March 2026, the Qatar 1812 km was postponed until October due to the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East caused by the 2026 Iran war. As a result, the 6 Hours of Imola became the opening round of the season.
