A massive 34 event days will take place at Scotland's National Motorsport Centre, building on their highly successful anniversary 2025 season.

A combination of world-class televised events of the British Superbikes and the British Touring Cars are long-established fan favourites are returning, but 2026 will bring some new and exciting events and formats for fans and competitors to enjoy. The event season will kick off on Sunday 1^st of March and run through to Saturday, 7^th of November, making it the longest season yet at Knockhill.

The welcome return of the Classic Sports Car Club will see their competitors race into the night at the end of September as darkness falls earlier, allowing Knockhill to host two races under dark skies and a floodlit pit lane. Local Scottish racers will also be able to join in this bold initiative, making it a first for the drivers, marshals, officials and fans alike.
