Race calendar

The schedule with the planned circuits was revealed on 6 January 2026. All rounds are held in Brazil. All but one non-championship round ran alongside the 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix and supported the 2026 Stock Car Pro Series events.[10] In late April, the round on 15–17 May at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna, Goiânia, was moved to Autódromo Velo Città, Mogi Guaçu, on 25–27 July. One month later, the calendar was adjusted again in which the round at Autódromo Internacional de Mato Grosso was replaced with another round at Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in August, and the round at Autódromo Internacional de Brasília was replaced with another round at Autódromo Internacional de Chapecó in the same month.
