Overview

• Homestead-Miami Speedway will host the NASCAR Championship Weekend from November 6-8, 2026, marking its first finale since 2019.
• NASCAR has introduced an annual rotation model for its championship venues, aiming to broaden market exposure and enhance fan engagement.
• Phoenix Raceway, which hosted the championship from 2020 to 2025, will remain part of the rotation and continue to host two annual Cup Series events, including a Round of 8 playoff race.
• Future host tracks will be selected based on criteria such as warm climates, proximity to metro areas, upgraded facilities, and established racing history, with superspeedways and road courses excluded for now.
• NASCAR plans to announce future Championship Weekend locations earlier and as standalone events, starting with the 2027 site.
