NASCAR Moves to Rotating Model for Championship Weekend, Homestead-Miami Speedway to Host in 2026

The 2026 NASCAR Championship Weekend, featuring the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, will be held at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Florida, as NASCAR moves to a new rotating model as part of an effort to ensure that the season-ender is shared amongst NASCAR's marquee venues and key markets.
The South Florida track previously hosted the NASCAR Championship from 2002 to 2019. NASCAR Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway will be held on November 6-8, 2026, series officials said.
"Homestead-Miami Speedway has a history of competitive, championship racing that will provide nostalgia for veteran drivers and fans and exhilaration for NASCAR's new generation," said Ben Kennedy, EVP, chief venue and racing innovation officer. "As we move forward, the rotating model will provide new challenges for competitors as well as opportunities for unique venues to host our loyal fans at NASCAR Championship Weekend."
Phoenix Raceway, which has hosted the season finale since 2020, will remain in the Championship Weekend rotation, and will continue to host two Cup Series race dates and be a part of the NASCAR Championship by hosting a prominent race in the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Playoffs.
