2026 Eurocup-3 season

The 2026 Eurocup-3 season will be the fourth season of the Eurocup-3 series. Eurocup-3 is a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe, created in 2023 as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open championship.[1]

2026 will also see the second edition of the Eurocup-3 Spanish Winter Championship, held across the Iberian Peninsula in February and March.[2]

Main series

Teams and drivers

The 2026 season sees the championship enter its second generation of technical regulations. This will see the championship change both its chassis and engine supplier. After previously using a slightly revised Tatuus F3 T-318 chassis, 2026 will see the debut of the Dallara 326 chassis, an evolution of the Dallara 324 currently used by the Euroformula Open and Super Formula Lights. Like in these two series, the car will be powered by a Toyota three-cylinder 1.6-litre turbo engine, with Eurocup-3 discontinuing its collaboration with Alfa Romeo. The push-to-pass feature in use since the series' inception will not return for 2026.[3]

Race calendar

The provisional calendar was announced on 30 July 2025.[22] That first draft included Spanish Grand Prix venue Madring, even though the circuit denied that any agreement regarding the Eurocup-3 round was achieved.[23] An updated version of the calendar was released on 4 December 2025, where the planned Madring event was not included, with one venue still to be announced.[24] For the first time ever, the series is set to visit the United Kingdom and Hungary, with its sixth round taking place at Silverstone Circuit and its seventh round at the Hungaroring. The series will also debut at Imola Circuit, while TT Circuit Assen, Circuito de Jerez, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the Red Bull Ring all left the schedule. Four of the rounds will be held using the three-round format that adds a sprint race to the weekend.
