All parties agreed that bringing the event closer to the 2026 semi-final at Sandown will maintain excitement and momentum for fans, broadcasters and teams.
Supercars Chief Executive James Warburton said: “The 2025 Repco Finals Series has been an incredible addition to our championship, and we want to keep that energy flowing right through to the Grand Final.
“Moving the Adelaide event forward by a week ensures fans stay engaged and the series maintains its intensity. We’re very happy with this outcome and grateful to everyone who worked with us to make it happen.
“Now that the 2026 dates are set for the Grand Final, we look forward to finishing the 2025 Championship on a high on the streets of Adelaide, in what has already been a spectacular event.”
Mark Warren, CEO of the South Australian Motor Sport Board, said: “We are so proud to host Grand Final of the Repco Supercars Finals Series in South Australia, with the intensity of the racing, the size of the crowds and the national attention it has already commanded, setting a new benchmark.
“When Supercars requested to shift the 2026 bp Adelaide Grand Final forward to the previous date our fans know and love, we were pleased to support the change.”
“The earlier date gives us a cleaner window for fans in next year’s busy summer sporting calendar and improves broadcast opportunities amongst our growing national and international viewership.
