When is NASCAR Championship Weekend 2026 at Homestead-Miami Speedway?
NASCAR Championship Weekend 2026 is scheduled for November 6-8 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The confirmed weekend dates
NASCAR says the 2026 Championship Weekend will run from Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8.
The weekend will include the season finales for three national series:
- Cup Series
- Xfinity Series
- Craftsman Truck Series
Where it is happening
The championship weekend is moving to Homestead-Miami Speedway for 2026.
Homestead-Miami previously hosted season-ending races for NASCAR’s three national series from 2002 through 2019.
What is still pending
NASCAR officials said the rest of the 2026 schedule would be released later in the summer. If you are planning around the full season calendar, check NASCAR’s official schedule once that wider release is available.
What changes with the 2026 NASCAR Championship Weekend move from Phoenix to Homestead-Miami?
The main change is the host track: NASCAR’s 2026 Championship Weekend will be held at Homestead-Miami Speedway instead of Phoenix Raceway.
What is changing?
Phoenix Raceway has hosted NASCAR’s season finales each year since 2020. For 2026, NASCAR announced that Championship Weekend will move to Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The weekend is scheduled for November 6-8 and will include the season finales for the Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Craftsman Truck Series.
Why Homestead-Miami matters here
Homestead-Miami is not a new championship site for NASCAR. The track previously hosted season-ending races for the three national series from 2002 through 2019.
So the 2026 move is both a change from the recent Phoenix run and a return to a track that has hosted NASCAR finales before.
What has not been released yet
The provided announcement does not include the full 2026 NASCAR schedule. NASCAR officials said those details would come later in the summer, so the official schedule is the place to check for the broader calendar.
