Opening in March at Sebring International Raceway, the premier one-make race series in the United States and Canada offers a pair of 40-minute sprint races at each of the eight rounds. The sixth season of Porsche Carrera Cup North America will feature the new Type 992.2 Porsche 911 Cup car, offered in 2026 only to competitors running in Porsche Carrera Cup North America, Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia.

Following the Sebring opener with IMSA, the championship travels west for its lone California race of the season at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. The series visits seven of the same venues as the 2025 season, which produced a championship that was not decided until the final race, ending once again at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, during the United States Grand Prix.

Classic road courses at Sebring, Watkins Glen International, Road America, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Road Atlanta will once again make up the ANDIAL Cup, a championship within a championship for those who prefer traditional road courses over street circuits.

As the pinnacle one-make series of the Porsche Motorsport North America Pyramid, the series is a crucial step for young drivers aspiring to a career in auto racing. Previous champions Seb Priaulx, Parker Thompson, Loek Hartog, and two-time runner-up Kay van Berlo have gone on to success in top-level sports car racing both domestically and abroad.
