Schedule

The 2026 schedule was revealed on October 25, 2025. In contrast with the higher rungs of the USF Pro Championships, only the Mid-Ohio round will run in support of the IndyCar Series, with the rounds at Barber and Portland being discontinued. Instead, new rounds at Mosport and Lime Rock will be run in support of the NASCAR Canada Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, respectively, as well as a first-time visit to Carolina Motorsports Park. The season opener at NOLA Motorsports Park was replaced by another standalone round at the Homestead–Miami Speedway road course, while the standalone round at Road America was moved to the season finale slot.[27]
