Teams and drivers

The 2026 season sees the championship enter its second generation of technical regulations. This will see the championship change both its chassis and engine supplier. After previously using a slightly revised Tatuus F3 T-318 chassis, 2026 will see the debut of the Dallara 326 chassis, an evolution of the Dallara 324 currently used by the Euroformula Open and Super Formula Lights. Like in these two series, the car will be powered by a Toyota three-cylinder 1.6-litre turbo engine, with Eurocup-3 discontinuing its collaboration with Alfa Romeo. The push-to-pass feature in use since the series' inception will not return for 2026. ^[3]

Race calendar

The provisional calendar was announced on 30 July 2025. ^[24] That first draft included Spanish Grand Prix venue Madring, even though the circuit denied that any agreement regarding the Eurocup-3 round was achieved. ^[25] An updated version of the calendar was released on 4 December 2025, where the planned Madring event was not included, with one venue still to be announced. ^[26] For the first time ever, the series is set to visit the United Kingdom and Hungary, with its sixth round taking place at Silverstone Circuit and its seventh round at the Hungaroring. The series will also debut at Imola Circuit, while TT Circuit Assen, Circuito de Jerez, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the Red Bull Ring all left the schedule. Four of the rounds will be held using the three-round format that adds a sprint race to the weekend.

Season report

The opening weekend of the 2026 winter season took place at the Algarve International Circuit, and MP Motorsport's Ean Eyckmans took pole position in the first qualifying session. The first Eurocup-3 race using the Dallara 326 began with multiple cars stalling off the line, among them polesitter Eyckmans and Campos Racing's P3 starter Alex Powell. That saw Campos's Thomas Strauven take the lead, before Palou Motorsport's James Egozi overtook him later in the lap. Multiple safety car phases followed before Hitech's Keanu Al Azhari and MP's René Lammers both moved past Strauven to complete the podium behind Egozi. TC Racing's Luca Viișoreanu had reversed-grid pole position for race two, but Hitech's Gino Trappa and Egozi moved past him straight away. Egozi claimed the lead later on, before contact sent Trappa down the order, allowing Al Azhari and Powell to claim podium spots. Qualifying for the third race saw Al Azhari take pole position. He initially lost out to Eyckmans at the start, but shadowed him before retaking the lead on lap two. The top two remained static afterwards while Lammers secured third. Egozi finished outside the points after stalling at the start, so Al Azhari claimed the championship lead. ^[33]

Round two was held at Circuito del Jarama, where MP's Gianmarco Pradel narrowly beat Al Azhari and Eyckmans to pole position for the opening race. ^[34] Eyckmans stalled at the start, allowing Lammers into third place as Pradel locked up and came under attack from Al Azhari. Two safety car phases punctured the race, and the Emirati tried claiming the lead on each restart before finally getting past Pradel on lap 15 and winning the race. The reversed grid for race two saw the Drivex of Christopher El Feghali start in first place, but a slow start saw Hitech's Stefan Bostandjiev take the lead right away before El Feghali hit two cars entering the first turn, causing a red flag. Bostandjiev held the lead at the restart ahead of Palou's Heitor Dall'Agnol and Powell, and was handed victory when the race finished under safety car conditions. Al Azhari claimed pole position for race three, but an off into turn two saw him drop to the back as Lammers took the lead. Powell overtook him mid-race and finished first, but post-race penalties saw him and Lammers dropped down the order. Egozi inherited the win ahead of teammate Rafaël Pérard and Campos's Enzo Tarnvanichkul, with Al Azhari recovering to fifth to retain a 33-point standings lead. ^[35]
