The World Rally Championship will once again be contested over 14 rounds in 2026, although much anticipated plans to host a round in the USA have not come to fruition.
Next year the schedule will begin in Monte Carlo in January and end in Saudi Arabia in November, but will undertake a slightly different complexion compared to 2025. The most notable change sees Rally Japan moving from its November berth to May when it will host the seventh round of the season from 28-31 May.
