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 will be open to Hypercars (built under Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) or Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) regulations) and LMGT3 racing cars.
The drivers of the No. 8 Toyota Racing car are leading the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship, with Toyota in the Manufacturers' Championship (pictured with the GR010 Hybrid in the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans).
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.
