Formula DRIFT has revealed the 2026 schedule for the Formula DRIFT PRO and PROSPEC Championships, which includes three new venues.

In 2026, the series will visit Stafford Motor Speedway, Stafford, Connecticut, Indianapolis Raceway Park, Indianapolis, Indiana, and The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, for the first time.

"After the most successful season in our history, we're embarking on our most ambitious schedule with three new venues," Ryan Sage, president of Formula DRIFT explained. "We've come to some hard decisions but we're confident this will strengthen the series as we strive to develop and promote the best drifting competition in the world. We proved last month with our new Long Beach venue for the PRO Championship Final, developing new venues can allow us to do something really special. And it's with this in mind that we're approaching Las Vegas and Indianapolis, in particular, where we have the opportunity to create venues that will highlight the sport and provide superb facilities for the fans."

The series returns to Las Vegas, which previously held events in the Las Vegas Motor Speedway parking lot, for the first time since 2012. The series has signed a three-year contract, which will provide investment to overhaul the track and update it for drift-specific events by adding pavement and updating infrastructure.

"Las Vegas has huge potential for Formula DRIFT and we're excited to return," Sage said. "We're coming back under very different circumstances than before, and will invest in the infrastructure to ensure teams and fans can fully experience an FD event as it should be. Vegas has always been on our radar but up until now, there have been challenges in making our return. Conversations started when we were exploring options to replace Irwindale have led to an exciting opportunity for the PROSPEC Final and the development of the entire facility."

Besides the new tracks, Formula DRIFT is looking forward to continue working with the venues that remain on the calendar including Streets of Long Beach, Road Atlanta, Orlando Speed World and Evergreen Speedway. It will also continue to work with the City of Long Beach and the Mayor's Office for the 2026 season finale on the Long Beach Shoreline Showdown street course.
