After 11 seasons as the Xfinity Series, the circuit is now known as the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Fear not, though — while the branding is different, race fans will still be able to get their fix of (mostly) Saturday afternoon and evening races all season.
This year’s schedule features 33 weekends of action, from Daytona through Homestead-Miami, with fireworks guaranteed.
The 2025 season saw Jesse Love win the first and last races of the year and take the drivers’ championship, but rookie Connor Zilisch was the story of the year, dominating the second half of the schedule and picking up 10 wins, including seven in eight races during one stretch.
Who will emerge as the stars of the 2026 season? See the full schedule below to find out when to tune into every race throughout the 2026 season.
