Supercars 2026 Calendar: More Rounds, New Rivals, And A Landmark Season Ahead
The countdown to one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory has begun with the reveal of the Supercars 2026 calendar: a thrilling, 14-round championship packed with history-making moments. Fans can look forward to more racing, a New Zealand double-header, and the long-awaited debut of Toyota’s GR Supra as it joins the battle against the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.
This year’s Supercars 2026 calendar promises fresh rivalries, expanded rounds, and fan-first experiences, including a free opening day at Sydney Motorsport Park on February 20. With Taupō and Christchurch both set to host races in April, and a season finale on the streets of Adelaide in December, 2026 is shaping up to be a season of speed, innovation, and accessibility like never before.
Toyota joins the grid and fans get a free opening day
The Supercars 2026 calendar is already breaking ground with two major milestones: Toyota’s long-anticipated entry into the championship and a fan-first gesture that makes opening day at Sydney Motorsport Park completely free to attend. On February 20, spectators will witness the debut of the Toyota GR Supra as it takes on the established Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. This move not only deepens manufacturer competition but also signals a new era of inclusivity for motorsport fans eager to experience high-performance racing without barriers.
Supercars Chief Executive James Warburton called the gesture a thank-you to the loyal supporters who keep the sport thriving. It’s a rare opportunity for fans to enjoy world-class racing at no cost — and a strong statement that 2026 will be a year defined by access, energy, and excitement both on and off the track.
A historic New Zealand double-header
For the first time ever, the Supercars 2026 calendar brings a New Zealand double-header in April, with races in Taupō followed by Christchurch on the South Island. This expansion honours the sport’s devoted Kiwi audience and gives New Zealand fans the chance to experience two weekends of back-to-back action. The move also reinforces the championship’s commitment to growing its international presence while celebrating the region’s deep motorsport roots.
This historic step strengthens the Trans-Tasman connection that has defined Supercars for decades. The new layout and venues will test drivers, challenge teams, and bring fans closer to the edge of their seats as the season gains momentum heading into mid-year.
More rounds, balanced pacing, and a grand finale
The Supercars 2026 calendar expands to 14 rounds, the most since 2019, creating a smoother rhythm for teams and fans alike. Perth now follows Townsville, offering a more even distribution of events throughout the year. The Sprint Cup and Enduro Cup remain pivotal, with championship points leading to an epic Finals Series that concludes in Adelaide in December. From Bathurst to the Gold Coast, the road to the title will feature both endurance battles and sprint clashes that push every driver to the limit.
Fans at home can continue watching every session live on Fox Sports and Kayo, while selected races will be free-to-air on Seven Network and 7plus. In New Zealand, Sky Sport’s four-year broadcast deal ensures uninterrupted coverage through 2029, so no one misses a single moment of this milestone season.
