The 2026 schedule was revealed on October 25, 2025. The championship will visit two street circuits, four road courses and two ovals. It followed its parent series in moving its Canadian rounds from Exhibition Place to the Streets of Markham, while it replaced the round at NOLA Motorsports Park it held in 2024 and 2025 with a second round at Road America. USF Pro 2000 will also add a second oval round, making its debut at the Milwaukee Mile, and replace the Streets of St. Petersburg with the Streets of Arlington as its season-opening venue. [1] All rounds except the weekends at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and the second weekend at Road America will run in support of the IndyCar Series. [3]
