The 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship is the fourteenth season of the FIA World Endurance Championship, a sports car racing series organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). The series is open to Hypercars (built under Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) or Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) regulations) and LMGT3 racing cars.
The FIA and ACO decided to stop publishing the balance of performance (BoP) tables for the WEC starting in 2026. The decision aimed to prevent speculation and misinterpretation of the performance balancing process. The BoP tables, which previously detailed the weight, power, and energy allocation for each car, will now be shared only with the teams involved.
Calendar 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 to 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. The Qatar 1812 km and 8 Hours of Bahrain were ultimately cancelled in July 2026. They were replaced with a pair of 6-hour races in Europe: a first trip to Barcelona, which previously hosted the Prologue in 2019, and a return to Monza for the first time since 2023.
