Entrants
The following teams and crews are under contract to contest the WRC2 championship in 2026. All crews compete under Rally2 regulations and use tyres provided by Hankook. Teams must enter two crews to be eligible for Teams' Championship points.
M-Sport confirmed that Romet Jürgenson and Siim Oja will contest the category in 2026. Their program will coincide with the introduction of an upgrade package for the Ford Fiesta Rally2.[25]
A team has to enter two cars to score points in an event. Drivers and teams must nominate a scoring rally when they enter the event and the best six scores from seven nominated rallies will count towards the final classification. Registered drivers are able to enter additional rallies with Priority 2 status without scoring points.
