2026 Formula Winter Series

The 2026 Formula Winter Series was the fourth season of the Formula Winter Series. It was a multi-event motor racing championship for open-wheel, formula racing cars regulated according to Formula 4 regulations by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and was organised by Gedlich Racing.

The championship consisted of five rounds in Portugal and Spain, beginning on 24 January at Circuito do Estoril and ending on 15 March at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The rookies' championship featured a separate classification for the first time, rather than the title being awarded to the highest-placed rookie in the drivers' championship.
