\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"How\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAction from the 2026 Sydney 500. Image: Supplied <\/p>\n

There remains silence from Supercars as owner RACE scrambles to put the finishing touches on a revised Teams Racing Charter agreement following lengthy negotiations.<\/p>\n

The teams themselves remain in the dark on what next year\u2019s calendar looks like, with an early November reveal now seemingly inevitable.<\/p>\n

However, with a 14-round schedule expected following recent developments, Speedcafe can take you through how the calendar is likely to look.<\/p>\n

The season is slated to kick-off at Sydney Motorsport Park in late February.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll mark the third straight year Sydney has opened the season and potentially the last with a new Perth Park street race tabled to take the slot in 2028.<\/p>\n

Symmons Plains leapfrogs from fifth to second on the schedule to fill a mid-March gap created by a later date for the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park.<\/p>\n

The Formula 1 event is the only Supercars round with a currently confirmed date, set for April 1-4.<\/a><\/p>\n

Albert Park will be followed by the New Zealand double-header in mid-May consisting of Ruapuna and then Taupo \u2013 a reversal of this year\u2019s order.<\/p>\n

That move will marginally reduce the amount of travel time as the shipping containers head back to Australia via the North Island.<\/p>\n

Darwin and Townsville are set to retain their mid-June and mid-July slots respectively, followed by the final trip to Wanneroo in early August.<\/p>\n

Sandown is tipped to move from November to late August in place of Queensland Raceway, which is set to drop off the schedule entirely.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a blow for the many Supercars fans in the Ipswich region, with a lack of government backing understood to be the underlying reason.<\/p>\n

There remains mixed messages as to whether Sandown will in fact return to Enduro Cup status, with suggestions emerging that it could be a single-driver enduro.<\/p>\n

Co-driver events at The Bend and Bathurst are locked in for mid-September and October respectively, with the Great Race set to take place on October 10.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast is again set to kick-off the Finals Series in late October ahead of championship returnee Phillip Island, which takes Sandown\u2019s slot as Victoria\u2019s finals round.<\/p>\n

Phillip Island\u2019s recently announced return<\/a> comes with Victorian Government backing following the loss of MotoGP and will be promoted by the Australian Grand Prix Corporation.<\/p>\n

The Adelaide Grand Final is expected to be held in late November, two weeks after the city hosts the Australian MotoGP for the first time.<\/p>\n

A Super2 Series calendar is also being delayed by the TRC saga.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s expected to look much the same as 2026, apart from the addition of a standalone round at Mallala in South Australia on ANZAC weekend.<\/a><\/p>\n
