The recently announced schedule includes a street race in San Diego, the return of Chicagoland Speedway, and the relocation of the All-Star Race to Dover, Delaware.\n\nThe season will run from February to November, with two free weekends for the teams. The start will be with the Clash on February 1st at the Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, followed by the Daytona 500 on February 15th.\n\nThe season finale will take place in Homestead, Florida, on November 8, marking the return to this circuit after it hosted the final for 18 consecutive years.\n\nThe return of Chicagoland, after a six-year absence, is one of the most outstanding novelties. The track is located in Joliet, Illinois, and replaces the temporary street circuit of Chicago.\n\nThe race in San Diego will take place on a military base in Coronado.\n\nTo accommodate Chicagoland and San Diego, NASCAR has decided to drop the Chicago street race and will not return to Mexico City, due to the World Cup.\n\nAdditionally, Watkins Glen in New York will move to the Mother&#8217;s Day weekend dates. The All-Star Race will move from North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, to Dover, allowing North Wilkesboro to be a Cup points race. New Hampshire will lose its playoff race and become the penultimate race of the regular season.\n\nThe 2026 season will have two free weekends, unlike only one in the current season, which ends with 28 consecutive races.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 NASCAR Cup Series Schedule:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>February 1 \u2013 Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium<\/li>\n<li>February 15 \u2013 Daytona 500<\/li>\n<li>February 22 \u2013 Atlanta<\/li>\n<li>March 1 \u2013 Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas<\/li>\n<li>March 8 \u2013 Phoenix<\/li>\n<li>March 15 \u2013 Las Vegas<\/li>\n<li>March 22 \u2013 Darlington, South Carolina<\/li>\n<li>March 29 \u2013 Martinsville, Virginia<\/li>\n<li>April 5 \u2013 Free weekend<\/li>\n<li>April 12 \u2013 Bristol, Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>April 19 \u2013 Kansas<\/li>\n<li>April 26 \u2013 Talladega, Alabama<\/li>\n<li>May 3 \u2013 Texas<\/li>\n<li>May 10 \u2013 Watkins Glen<\/li>\n<li>May 17 \u2013 All-Star Race (Dover)<\/li>\n<li>May 24 \u2013 Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte)<\/li>\n<li>May 31 \u2013 Nashville, Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>June 7 \u2013 Michigan<\/li>\n<li>June 14 \u2013 Pocono in Long Pond, Pennsylvania<\/li>\n<li>June 21 \u2013 San Diego<\/li>\n<li>June 28 \u2013 Sonoma, California<\/li>\n<li>July 5 \u2013 Chicagoland<\/li>\n<li>July 12 \u2013 Atlanta<\/li>\n<li>July 19 \u2013 North Wilkesboro<\/li>\n<li>July 26 \u2013 Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis)<\/li>\n<li>August 2 \u2013 Free weekend<\/li>\n<li>August 9 \u2013 Iowa<\/li>\n<li>August 15 \u2013 Richmond, Virginia<\/li>\n<li>August 23 \u2013 New Hampshire<\/li>\n<li>August 29 \u2013 Daytona, Florida<\/li>\n<li>September 6 \u2013 Darlington<\/li>\n<li>September 13 \u2013 Gateway in Madison, Illinois<\/li>\n<li>September 19 \u2013 Bristol<\/li>\n<li>September 27 \u2013 Kansas<\/li>\n<li>October 4 \u2013 Las Vegas<\/li>\n<li>October 11 \u2013 Charlotte Roval<\/li>\n<li>October 18 \u2013 Phoenix<\/li>\n<li>October 25 \u2013 Talladega<\/li>\n<li>November 1 \u2013 Martinsville<\/li>\n<li>November 8 \u2013 Homestead<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASCAR Unveils 2026 Cup Series Schedule: San Diego, Chicagoland, and Dover Enter the Mix The 2026 NASCAR season promises big changes and excitement, with the introduction of new tracks and the return of classics.
