The Dragzine Calendar: Every Major Drag Racing Event in 2026
This year, Dragzine decided to create the most complete drag racing calendar possible, one trusted by racers, fans, and track operators alike. The 2026 season is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, with a packed schedule of national events, outlaw shootouts, no-prep battles, and drag-and-drive marathons happening across the country.
This list is part of a larger effort to build a living, community-driven drag racing calendar. This will be a place where racers can plan their season, fans can discover new events, and organizers can reach a larger audience. Bookmark it, share it, and check back often. We’ll continue to update it as more tracks and promoters lock in their 2026 dates.
The Future of the Dragzine Calendar
As we continue developing the Dragzine Racing Calendar, our goal is to make this the go-to hub for every major drag racing event in America. It will be searchable, filterable, and built for the entire racing community.
If you’re a promoter or track operator and want your event listed, reach out to calendar@dragzine.com. Let’s make sure racers everywhere can find it, plan for it, and show up ready to compete.
Keep watching this space, we’ll keep adding new events, special features, and ways to make this the most useful calendar in drag racing.
