GT World Challenge America has announced the final two races for its upcoming 2026 season, with one notable change to the schedule.

Following the opening rounds at Sonoma, Circuit of the Americas, and Sebring, GTWC will head to Road Atlanta for the first time since 2011, replacing Virginia International Raceway on the calendar. The Road Atlanta event is set for June 11–14, the same weekend as one of the world’s most prestigious races, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

After Road Atlanta, the series will return to Road America before closing the season at Barber Motorsports Park and Indianapolis in October.

VIR has been a fixture on the GT World Challenge America schedule since 2017 and is considered a favorite among drivers and teams. Traditionally home to IMSA’s GT-only round, VIR will now host IMSA, Trans Am, and MotoAmerica events exclusively for the foreseeable future.

The only other adjustment to the 2026 schedule is the addition of a fourth day to each race weekend, up from the originally planned three.

While the calendar remains largely unchanged aside from the swap to Road Atlanta, the series will also introduce a new race format at Sonoma — three-hour endurance events replacing the previous two 90-minute sprint races.

GT World Challenge America continues its 2025 campaign this weekend with Rounds 9 and 10 at Road America, featuring a 16-car field.
