IMSA will be part of the new season of the eNASCAR College iRacing Series and its PlayVS College League, which returns for the 2026-27 academic year with $60,000 in scholarships on the line.

The College League season expands from six tournaments to eight, six oval tournaments will be run in the NASCAR Trucks, and two IMSA-backed road course events that will showcase the Ford Mustang GT4.

All tournaments still consist of a Time Attack, followed by two weeks of racing. Four tournaments will take place during the Fall semester from September to November. The other four for the Spring semester are scheduled between January and March. 

The points structure also gets an overhaul this upcoming season, as does the event format. Tournament sizes will change to 100 entries. Additional points will now be awarded in the semifinals. Week Two Points will mirror the real-world NASCAR points system, having an emphasis on winning.

The new Tournaments––the Peachtree Pursuit (Echo Park/Atlanta), Big Apple Battle (Watkins Glen), Monster Mash (Dover), and the Ocean's Roar (Daytona Road Course)––features three brand-new venues for the College Series schedule, and includes a return to The Glen.

IMSA's first tournament, the Big Apple Battle at Watkins Glen International, takes place from October 20 to November 4, 2026. The Ocean's Roar at Daytona International Speedway's Road Course is slated for February 16 to March 3, 2027.
