Tickets have gone on sale for the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship’s newly-announced end-of-season rounds in Europe, with tempting ‘Early Bird’ offers set to reward those who are quickest off the mark.
It was confirmed earlier today that due to the ongoing regional developments affecting freight and travel arrangements, the planned Middle Eastern races in Qatar and Bahrain in the autumn will be replaced by the 6 Hours of Barcelona on 16-18 October and 6 Hours of Monza on 6-8 November, with both events set to play a pivotal role in the increasingly competitive Hypercar and LMGT3 title fights.
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya – operated by parent company, Fira Circuit – is a new addition to the FIA WEC schedule as Spain prepares to welcome the series for the first time, enabling fans in the country to enjoy the thrill of the pinnacle of international endurance racing from the very best vantage point.
Tickets can now be purchased for the event, with a variety of offers covering Friday (FP1 and FP2), Saturday (FP3, Qualifying and Hyperpole) and Sunday (Race), as well as a discounted rate for those keen to attend on all three days. ‘Early Bird’ General Admission – valid until 6 September – starts from just 20 €, with add-on options for Paddock and Pit Walk access to get even closer to the cars and stars, while Hospitality packages are also available.

Three weeks later, the campaign will conclude at Italy’s legendary Autodromo Nazionale Monza – a popular fixture on the FIA WEC calendar from 2021 to 2023 – where champions will be crowned. Constructed over a century ago back in 1922 and known in the sport as ‘The Temple of Speed’ for its fast and unforgiving nature, the historic Lombardy circuit will be a fitting venue for what promises to be a truly epic showdown for honours.
Like in Barcelona, a multitude of ticket options are available, with adult General Admission starting from only 22 € when bought in advance, while children aged six and under will be admitted free of charge and there are concessions for those aged between 7-11, 12-24 and over 65. ‘Early Bird’ prices are valid until 30 September.

Frédéric Lequien, CEO, FIA WEC, said:
“It is always exciting to visit new venues, and we are delighted to take FIA WEC to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the first time. It is a track that we already know well through the European Le Mans Series, so we have no doubt that we will receive a warm welcome. Spanish fans are some of the most passionate in the sport, and we hope to see a large crowd for the penultimate round of the season – one that promises to play a crucial role in the title fight.
“Similarly, we are pleased to be returning to Monza, and thank the local organiser and in particular the circuit’s CEO, Alfredo Scala, for accommodating us at short notice. It is a truly iconic track with a proud history of top-tier endurance racing, and one that staged three memorable FIA WEC races from 2021 to 2023. As one of the most challenging circuits in the world – rewarding bravery while punishing errors – it will be a fitting venue for the coronation of our Hypercar and LMGT3 champions in November.”
Ignasi Armengol, General Manager, Fira Circuit, said:
“The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is proud to host a round of the FIA World Endurance Championship. In light of the changes to the championship’s planned calendar, and with the hope that the current situation will be resolved as soon as possible, this decision reflects the confidence placed in our circuit’s proven experience, organisational excellence and world-class facilities.
“The arrival of the FIA World Endurance Championship further strengthens the circuit’s position as one of the world’s leading motorsport venues, placing it at the heart of one of the fastest-growing and most prestigious championships in international motorsport.
“This is more than simply adding another event to our calendar – it is an opportunity to enhance international visibility, generate economic impact and create new opportunities for Barcelona, Catalonia and the wider region. By hosting Formula 1, MotoGP and the FIA World Endurance Championship, the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya joins a select group of venues worldwide capable of staging the three most prestigious championships in international motorsport.”
Geronimo La Russa, President, Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI), said:
“The announcement that the Autodromo Nazionale Monza will host the season finale of the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship represents another prestigious recognition for Italian motorsport and the ACI, which, as the national sporting authority, has once again demonstrated promptness, expertise and organisational capability this season. Following the championship opener at Imola, this new appointment further confirms Italy’s leading role on the international motorsport stage.
“Now Monza, ‘The Temple Of Speed’, is preparing to welcome the grand finale of the FIA World Endurance Championship – an event that further enhances a circuit unique in its history, tradition and technical profile, capable of bringing out the best in drivers and teams while delivering extraordinary emotions to fans.
“This outcome strengthens Italy’s position on the international motorsport scene and rewards the professionalism and passion of everyone at the ACI, whose commitment makes it possible to stage major racing events in our country.”
