New rivalries, new stars, new cars, new era: 2026 Supercars launched
The 2026 Repco Supercars Championship launched Tuesday night, ushering in one of the most anticipated seasons in Australian motorsport history.
Momentum is at an all-time high. The hype reel produced by Supercars TV set hearts pumping at tonight’s launch.
It begins with this week’s season-opening DUNLOP Sydney 500 and Chaz Mostert defending his title in the new Toyota GR Supra.
A fired-up Broc Feeney chasing redemption – in his new Ford Mustang.
Anton de Pasquale leading the charge for the Chevrolet Camaros. Five rookies enter the fray.
24 drivers make up the youngest grid in history, intent on making their names at the top of Australian sport and the world is watching. Just ask F1 legend Max Verstappen.
It builds off a record-breaking 2025:
1.64 million fans attended races, including 102,000 at Grand Final Sunday alone
Broadcast figures grew by 17%, streaming boomed by 42%
510 million digital engagements – up by 85% - proved the growing appetite for Supercars
Supercars Chief Executive James Warburton says: “The racing delivered everything we promised and more. Nine different Boost Mobile pole winners. 75 percent of drivers reached the podium, a record for the sport surpassing 2014. Two of the closest finishes in our history. The tightest manufacturer battle in more than 20 years – quite frankly the best motorsport racing on the planet.”
Tonight we revealed the Premiere of Supercars: Road to Glory – live now on Prime Video. The behind-the-scenes documentary captured the extraordinary tension and drama of last season’s inaugural Repco Finals Series. It follows Mostert’s path to his long-awaited, maiden championship. It shows the heartbreak of Feeney’s final-day troubles.
Supercars: Road to Glory and From Clay to Carbon – the documentary on the making of the new Toyota GR Supra Supercar, airing now on Kayo SPORTS, Foxtel and 7Plus – give access to the sport never seen before.
The stories will be driven every week on Foxtel’s new show Motorsport 360 – debating all the hot topics and big issues.
Now, we bring on 2026. 14 rounds, 37 races over a record 7135km. A new, contemporary commentary line-up – unveiled last week – to match the evolution on the grid.
A technology overhaul, to bring Supercars to the cutting edge of global sports broadcasting.
Every session live in 4K Ultra High Definition for the first time, on Kayo SPORTS and Foxtel. Coverage complemented by 7 and 7+, starting this weekend at Sydney Motorsport Park.
From the DUNLOP Sydney 500, starting with the first DUNLOP Free Friday, racing under lights – followed by a weekend of action including Jet’s Saturday Night rock show – the scene is set.
Warburton added: "To our teams and drivers – you are the stars of this show. Let’s make 2026 even bigger. Let’s continue to push boundaries, to innovate, to entertain and to grow. The best of Supercars is yet to come."
The 2026 Repco Supercars Championship begins this Friday at Sydney Motorsport Park – tickets can be purchased here through Ticketek.
