The 2026 F2000 Championship Series started in March at Road Atlanta with Arrive Drive Motorsport driver Nick Gilkes taking pole position in qualifying. Five cars started the first heat race, in which Gilkes converted his pole position into a victory ahead of Layke MotorSports driver Carter Sheets and Wright Racing's Robert Wright. The latter of these was then able to beat the three-car field in a damp heat race two, consigning Gilkes to second place, with third taken by Wright's teammate Arshia Akhtar. Only Gilkes and Wright started the feature race, and it was Gilkes who took victory to leave Road Atlanta leading Wright by 19 points in the championship standings.^[3]

The weekend format and with it the points system were overhauled for the 2026 season. Each weekend now comprises three races, the first two of which are designated as Heat Races and award points per class according to the following scale.

The third race of the weekend, called the Feature Race, awards more points:

Three points are awarded for pole position in each class, as well as two more points for the fastest lap per race per class. Each driver's three worst results will be dropped.
