RallyX announces full 2026 calendar

Expanded programme in Europe, inaugural Americas events, and a Global Final event in Portugal.

RallyX today unveils its complete 2026 event structure, marking a new step in the development of its rallycross activities across Europe and North America. For the first time, RallyX will operate event programmes on both continents, converging towards a joint Global event that will bring together top-performing RallyX participants from all regions.

The 2026 season introduces three major elements:

  • an expanded RallyX event programme in Europe,
  • a new set of RallyX Americas events in the United States and Canada,
  • and a structure connecting North America and Europe within the RallyX format.

Together, these elements help RallyX create an event framework for activities across continents while remaining fully devoted to delivering high-quality rallycross experiences for teams, drivers and fans with dedicated and well-known free to air broadcasts on RallyX TV.

“2026 marks a more developed environment for our rallycross activities,” explains RallyX founder Andreas Eriksson.

“For our European events we have strengthen and increased the RallyX operation team and we have over the last year build our new American RallyX operation team together with great and iconic track partners to help us grow in a controlled and balanced way.”

“Rallycross is entering a phase where stability and long-term thinking matter more than ever, and RallyX wants to play a constructive role in supporting that evolution and help the future of the sport to develop to the true potential we all know rallycross has.”

“With RallyX Americas and our aligned event programme in Europe, 2026 is about contributing to a stronger and more connected environment for the activities we organise. Our goal is clear: to support the long-term development of rallycross by working with strong venues, a coherent class structure and a forward-looking vision shared across both continents.”

Glenn Olsson, Commercial Director of RallyX Europe

“The 2026 calendar clearly reflects our ambition. Our goal is to offer a championship that is more ambitious, more diverse and more accessible, while remaining true to what defines RallyX: demanding circuits, a strong international identity and genuine proximity to our fans. The addition of Mayenne (subject to FFSA approval) and Honkajoki captures this perfectly. Two very different tracks, two regions with deep motorsport culture and two partners who share our vision. 

Beyond these new additions and welcome returns, I want to highlight the essential role of the local organisers. Their dedication, professionalism and ability to evolve alongside us make them far more than simple hosts. They are true partners who directly contribute to the growth and strength of RallyX. Without their commitment, we could not build a championship as robust or coherent as this one.

We are moving forward with a clear objective: to create a sustainable, spectacular format that looks to the future. Rallycross is evolving, and our responsibility is to support that evolution by creating a sporting environment that is modern, engaging and faithful to the sport’s DNA. The 2026 calendar is a perfect illustration of that vision.”

All drivers completing either the full RallyX South, RallyX North, or RallyX Americas events programme will receive an invitation to the Global Event in Portugal.

RALLYX GLOBAL FINAL EVENT: Montalegre, Portugal

The season will conclude in Portugal on October 24–25, where the RallyX Global Final Event will gather the drivers from RallyX North, RallyX South, and RallyX Americas at the famed Montalegre circuit.

The event will culminate in one night race and one day race, heightening the drama of the season’s final event showdown and immersing fans and teams in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere at one of Europe’s most spectacular rallycross venues.

Why 2026 matters for RallyX

  • a well-balanced schedule of events for teams wishing to compete across different regions,
  • a clear progression between the various classes within the RallyX programme,
  • top-tier venues in both North America and Europe,
  • and a joint Global Final Event bringing together different rallycross cultures and communities.

RallyX is designed to complement the current rallycross landscape by offering a stable, modern and fan-focused event platform that supports the sport’s long-term development.
