2026 Saturday Racing Calendar: Every Weekend Race Worth Watching

Not every race is on Sunday. Saturday races are scattered through the NASCAR, IndyCar, and F1 calendars. Here are the key ones for 2026.

Bristol Night Race (September). Richmond (spring and fall). The All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro. Several other Cup races shift to Saturday for TV windows. Check the full schedule and set up your pool early.

Sprint races happen on Saturday at select F1 rounds. Qualifying sessions also run on Saturday, and some fans build mini-pools around qualifying results.

Most IndyCar races are on Sunday, but a few road course events and doubleheaders include Saturday races. The Detroit Grand Prix and Iowa doubleheader are standouts.
