From the snow and ice in Sweden to the brutally rough dirt tracks of Kenya and everything in between, the World Rally Championship travels the world again for a season of high-octane drama.
Take a look at the full schedule for the 2026 WRC season.
Rally Croatia returns to the World Rally Championship calendar following a year off and will feature as the fourth round of the 2026 season, replacing the Central European Rally.
The remainder of the schedule remains untouched with the exception of a direct swap in dates for Rally Japan and Rally Italia Sardegna, with the coastal views of Sardinia now hosting the penultimate round of the season while Japan is brought forward to the end of May.
WRC will once again commence in Monte Carlo and conclude in Saudi Arabia, albeit two weeks earlier than in 2025.
