All Confirmed Dates on the 2026 NASCAR Schedule (So Far)
What’s Happening? As we roll into the 2025 NASCAR season, rumors and confirmations for the 2026 NASCAR National Series Schedules will…
Despite NASCAR’s return to Mexico City being a relative success, a new report claims that the race is by no means a guarantee for the 2026 schedule.
Every season since 2021, the NASCAR Cup Series has added a new track to its calendar. This year, NASCAR took a bold step, adding Mexico City’s Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. While this weekend was by no means perfect, the atmosphere and fan-favorite winners gave off the feeling of a successful debut.
Regardless of how the fans felt about this weekend, a new report from Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports claims that the track is not locked into the 2026 schedule and that its potential return in 2026 “will be determined in the next couple of months.”
Pockrass reports that NASCAR and OCESA, the race promoter, will review this year’s event and then have to find a decent spot on the calendar should NASCAR want to return.
While the garage area remains rather quiet, NASCAR fans have locked into the schedule silly season.
Though there are few, if any, spots left on the 2026 calendar, NASCAR fans have a short list of tracks and cities they’d like to see represented. The thought that this spot on the calendar, which once belonged to Richmond Raceway, could be open again is likely only to re-ignite fan discourse.
In the Midwest, fans are vying for the return of the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway. Down south, some fans would like to see the addition of Rockingham, a short track that made its NASCAR return earlier this season, to the 2026 Cup calendar.
Mexico is not the only question mark left on the calendar. There is still no word on whether Circuit of the Americas and Speedway Motorsports have signed a new agreement, though reports suggest they will likely do so.
Other rumors continue to swirl that NASCAR could go to Canada or even Brazil in 2026. However, the latter has seemingly lost traction for now. Furthermore, NASCAR’s street circuit in Chicago could see expulsion from the schedule after this season.
