The Season
Season Calendar
Season Calendar · 2026
Racing (Car) · No single global league. The FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) sanctions the world championships, while the major American series are run by private sanctioning bodies: NASCAR, and INDYCAR under Penske Entertainment
| Phase | Starts | Ends | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season shape across the major series | — | — | Effectively year-round at the elite level, but each series has a defined season. Formula 1 runs roughly March to early December, INDYCAR March to early September and the NASCAR Cup Series February to November. Hemisphere inversion is handled by routing rather than a season shift, with F1's calendar moving between hemispheres continuously. There is no single pinnacle event: the FIA recognises Formula 1 as the pinnacle of open-wheel racing, while the Indianapolis 500 is INDYCAR's pinnacle and the Daytona 500 anchors NASCAR. |
| INDYCAR 2026 season (17 races) | Mar 1, 2026 | Sep 6, 2026 | St Petersburg 1 March; Phoenix 7 March; Arlington 15 March; Barber 29 March; Long Beach 19 April; Sonsio GP on the IMS road course 9 May; 110th Indianapolis 500 on 24 May, won by Felix Rosenqvist; Detroit 31 May; World Wide Technology Raceway 7 June; Road America 21 June; Mid-Ohio 5 July; Nashville 19 July; Portland 9 August; Markham, Ontario 16 August; Washington D.C. Freedom 250 on 23 August; Milwaukee 29-30 August; Laguna Seca finale 6 September. |
| 110th Indianapolis 500 | May 24, 2026 | May 24, 2026 | INDYCAR's pinnacle event. Won by Felix Rosenqvist. |
| INDYCAR 2027 season (17 races planned, down from 18) | Mar 5, 2027 | — | Confirmed: St Petersburg opener with the race on Sunday 7 March 2027 across a 5-7 March weekend, the 23rd edition; Arlington 19-21 March; Long Beach 16-18 April; Indianapolis GP 14-15 May; 111th Indianapolis 500 on 30 May 2027; Detroit 4-6 June; Laguna Seca as the finale on a date to be determined. |
| Formula 1 2027 season | — | — | The 2027 calendar was not officially published as of late July 2026. F1 delayed the announcement until the autumn amid uncertainty over the Middle East opener, with a decision on the Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounds not expected before mid-September; if those fall through F1 is committed to a European finale, most likely Imola. Confirmed structural changes: Portugal returns at Portimao for 2027 and 2028, replacing Zandvoort which leaves after 2026, and Turkey returns on a five-year Istanbul Park deal to 2031, with 24 races expected. Two materially different draft calendars circulated - see disputes. Treat any dated 2027 F1 calendar as provisional until F1 and the FIA publish it. |
| NASCAR Cup Series 2027 confirmed dates | Feb 18, 2027 | Nov 14, 2027 | The Duels at Daytona 18 February; the 69th Daytona 500 on Sunday 21 February 2027, moved to avoid Super Bowl LXI on 14 February; the 68th Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte 30 May; the 78th Southern 500 at Darlington 5 September; and the Cup Series finale at Homestead-Miami on 14 November 2027, with the Truck finale 12 November and the second-tier finale 13 November. The full 2027 schedule was still expected in the coming autumn. The 2026 Cup season closed with the championship race at Homestead-Miami on 8 November 2026. Unofficial social-media 2027 schedule posts conflict with the confirmed dates and were not used. |

Around The Season
- High school
- Not an NFHS sport, and there is no high-school car-racing season; motor racing is absent from the NFHS list of sanctioned activities and sports. Young drivers progress through karting and regional stock-car ladders run by private sanctioning bodies rather than schools. The ARCA Menards Series, a recognised NASCAR development ladder, races alongside national-series weekends. NFHS Activities & Sports
- College
- Not an NCAA sport; motor racing appears in neither the NCAA championship future-dates schedule nor the emerging-sports-for-women list. NCAA Future Dates Summary
- Olympic and major games
- None. Motor racing appears on neither the LA28 Olympic nor the LA28 Paralympic programme. Its championship structure of FIA world championships plus commercially owned national series substitutes entirely for the multi-sport-games model. LA28 Games Plan
- Club, youth and academy
- There is no tryout-and-offseason model; entry is by licence, seat and budget. What is verifiable is the shape of a season: pre-season testing immediately before the opener, with F1's single 2027 test at Bahrain 25-27 February; support-series and ladder races bundled onto the same weekends as the headline events, including NASCAR Trucks joining the INDYCAR St Petersburg weekend in 2027 and Truck, second-tier and ARCA races supporting Cup weekends throughout 2026; and a winter off-season of roughly December to February in the U.S. series.
- Busiest months

Results data · Published but human-readable only, with strong official coverage per series and no single central feed. INDYCAR publishes schedules, race winners and recaps openly on its own site plus a PDF calendar, F1 publishes calendars and results through formula1.com, and forward calendars often surface first through specialist media rather than official releases. Some analysis sits behind paywalls.
