2026 World Endurance Championship calendar revealed at Le Mans
Eight races feature on the 2026 WEC schedule.

The FIA and ACO have unveiled the 2026 World Endurance Championship cale🐭ndar on the eve of this week’s Le Mans 24 Hours.
All eight circuits from the current campaign have been retained as part of a largely unalter🥂ed schedule for WEC’s 14th season since its relaunch in 2012.
The most notable change is the later-than-usual start to the campaign, with the Qatar season opener being push🌊ed back to 28 March to accommodate Ramadan.
For comparison, the 2024 season began a full month earli𓆉er on 28 February at the Losail International Circuit.
As in previ🅺ous years, the Qatar curtain-raiser will be preceded by the traditional Prologue pre-season test, scheduled for 22♔-23 March.
Europe will again host back-to-back spring events, with Imola (Italy) returning in April followed by Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) in ওMay.
The centrepiece of the calendar, the 94th running of the Le Mans ꦉ24 Hours, is set for 13-14 June.
For the second consecutive year, Le Mans will clash with a Formula 1 race, as the rebranded 🦹Barcelona G𓃲rand Prix is slated for the same weekend.
The WEC then heads to South America for a mid-July visit to Interlagos, while the Lone Star Le Mans at Circuit of the A🔯mericas will be held on 6 September.
Japan's Fuji Speedway will host the 100th WEC race on 27th September, with the season once again concluding under the light༒♛s in Bahrain on 7 November.
Five of the eight races on the calendar will be contested over six hours. The exceptions are the two Middle Eastern events—Qatar, held over 1812km or a maximum of 10 hours, and Bahrain, run over e♏ight hours—as well as the 24-hour Le Mans classic at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Despite ongoing speculation, Silverstone is not included on t🔜he 2026 schedule. Discussions about a British round📖 had intensified following the circuit’s addition to this year’s European Le Mans Series calendar, but the WEC has opted to stick with eight races for another season. A return to the UK is now expected no earlier than 2027. Silverstone last hosted a WEC event in September 2019.
