The 2026 GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS is a planned motor racing championship for GT3 cars, marking the 13th edition of the GT World Challenge Europe. Organised by the SRO Motorsports Group, it will form the European part of the broader GT World Challenge, which will also include GT World Challenge America, GT World Challenge Australia and GT World Challenge Asia.

The championship will split into the Endurance Cup and the Sprint Cup, each with its respective titles, alongside the overall GT World Challenge Europe championship. The season will take place over ten rounds at various European circuits. The annual season prologue, which acts as the championship's pre-season testing, is scheduled to take place between 8 and 9 April, with testing for the 24 Hours of Spa occurring between 19 and 20 May. Racing is planned to commence in April and conclude in October.

Calendar

All Sprint Cup rounds consist of two one-hour races, totalling 15 races throughout the season, alongside the single 3-hour (Monza, Nürburgring and Portimão), 6-hour (Paul Ricard), or 24-hour (Spa) races in Endurance Cup rounds. ^{[1] [2]}
