From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2026 FIA European Rallycross Championship is the ongoing 51st season of the FIA European Rallycross Championship, recognized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile as the highest class of international rallycross following the cancellation of the FIA World Rallycross Championship after the 2025 season.[1] The championship will consist of four classes: RX1 and RX3, as well as the newly introduced RX4 and RX5 categories.[2]
The championship begins on 9 May at the Biķernieku Kompleksā Sporta Bāze in Latvia, and will finish on 13 September at Circuito Automóvel de Lousada in Portugal.[3]
Calendar
The calendar was announced by the FIA on 28 November 2025. It featured six rounds.[3] The Euro RX of Ireland at Mondello Park returned to the calendar for the first time since the 1996 season.[4][5]

Series News
- The FIA announced in September 2025 that from the 2026 season the European Championship would again be the top category of international rallycross. The top class will only be populated by internal combustion cars.[1][6] The announcement also included intent to establish the Rallycross World Cup; a competition in rallycross outside of Europe bringing together the best drivers from across the globe for a non-championship event showdown.[7] When the World Rally Championship applies new technical regulations in 2028, those same regulations will be applied in rallycross with the goal of bringing back the FIA World Rallycross Championship for the 2028 season.[8]
- Two new classes were introduced. The RX4 class will utilize current Rally4 machinery with minimal adaptions outside of removing the co-drivers seat and associated equipment. The RX5 class will utilize the technical specifications from the FIA European Cross Car Championship.[2][9][10]
- On 10 March 2026, the FIA announced that the previously announced Rallycross World Cup would take place in Jakarta, Indonesia at the Jakarta International e-Prix Circuit on 5-6 December 2026. The drivers will compete in RX1-class vehicles, and the event will follow classic rallycross format.[11][12][13]
