The BMW M2 Cup 2027 calendar features six race weekends for the new Dutch championship, Autosport.nl reported on 29 October 2026. The reported schedule visits Zandvoort, Spa-Francorchamps, Zolder and Assen between March and October. Crucially, this is the Netherlands series, not the separate ADAC-run German championship.

What is the BMW M2 Cup 2027 calendar?

The Autosport.nl calendar report lists the following six weekends. However, the official BMW announcement checked for this article confirms the circuits and weekend count, not every individual date.

2027 dates Event Circuit Country
26–28 March Paasraces Zandvoort Netherlands
28–30 May Spa Euro Race Spa-Francorchamps Belgium
18–20 June V-Max Zolder Superprix Zolder Belgium
16–18 July V-Max Summer Trophy Zandvoort Netherlands
20–22 August The Racing Days Assen Netherlands
1–3 October V-Max Finaleraces by American Sunday Assen Netherlands

These are reported event-weekend dates, and they may change. Autosport.nl says the cup’s qualifying sessions and races take place on Fridays and Saturdays. Therefore, the Sunday shown in each date range should not be treated as a confirmed cup race day.

For fans, that distinction matters more than the three-day event label. Check the cup-specific timetable before choosing which day to attend.

Which circuits will host the BMW M2 Cup in 2027?

Zandvoort and Assen each receive two visits. Meanwhile, Spa-Francorchamps and Zolder each host one weekend, taking the championship across the Netherlands and Belgium.

The reported opener is Zandvoort’s Paasraces on 26–28 March. The series then heads to Belgium for consecutive calendar stops at Spa and Zolder, before returning to Zandvoort in July.

Finally, Assen hosts both the August round and the October finale. For American readers, all six weekends take place in Europe; this schedule contains no United States round.

If you are comparing European racing trips, our FFSA Circuits 2027 calendar covers a different championship. Keep the series names attached to any dates you save.

Is the Dutch BMW M2 Cup the same as the ADAC BMW M2 Cup?

No. The Dutch championship makes its debut in 2027, while ADAC publishes a separate German-series schedule under the same car-based cup name.

The ADAC German BMW M2 Cup announcement lists five 2027 events. Its venues are Oschersleben, Lausitzring, Norisring, Nürburgring and Hockenheim.

By contrast, the Dutch BMW M2 Cup calendar contains six weekends at four Dutch and Belgian circuits. Consequently, a search result showing five events is not necessarily an outdated version of this announcement. It may describe the other championship.

Before booking, match three details: the organiser, the circuit and the event date. The shared BMW M2 name alone does not identify the correct series.

What car races in the BMW M2 Cup Netherlands?

BMW announced the Dutch championship in July 2026, specifying 25 identical BMW M2 Racing cars and five selected teams. The official BMW Netherlands championship announcement names CP Motorsport, GP Elite, Koopman Racing, MDM Motorsport and Witte Raaf Racing.

That gives fans a clear starting point: this is a one-make racing championship built around the M2 Racing. However, the calendar announcement does not establish a final driver entry list.

Likewise, do not substitute road-car acceleration figures for race-car specifications. The confirmed story here concerns the championship’s calendar, cars, teams and weekend format.

What is the BMW M2 Cup race-weekend format?

BMW describes a two-day programme with practice, two qualifying sessions and three races. Specifically, the announced session lengths are:

  • One practice session: 30 minutes.
  • Two qualifying sessions: 12 minutes each.
  • Two sprint races: 25 minutes each.
  • One long race: 50 minutes.

Together, those sessions total 154 minutes of scheduled running. However, that sum is not a continuous timetable and excludes gaps between sessions.

Autosport.nl places qualifying and racing on Friday and Saturday. Exact session start times remain unconfirmed in the sources checked, so the weekend date ranges cannot yet tell fans when to reach the grandstands.

How can fans watch the BMW M2 Cup?

BMW has announced a professional livestream and television highlights on RTL7 for the Dutch series. However, the sources checked do not confirm streaming links, broadcast times or United States availability.

Similarly, no ticket details were confirmed for these six cup appearances. Event admission, grandstand access and paddock arrangements therefore still need checking against each organiser’s published information.

For now, use the BMW M2 Cup 2027 dates as a planning outline rather than a complete spectator itinerary. Before making non-refundable bookings, verify the date, the Friday–Saturday cup timetable and the relevant ticket conditions.

How can drivers record their own track-day drives?

For drivers inspired to book circuit time, TripRank is an iOS driving and performance telemetry companion. It records drives with GPS, including offline and background recording, and provides a per-trip Smoothness Score.

Meanwhile, Pro adds aggregate statistics charts, data export and Apple Watch heart-rate analytics. Those features concern your own recorded drives, not the championship’s official timing.

Start with our first track-day preparation checklist. Keep performance testing on closed circuits or authorised private venues, and follow the organiser’s safety rules.
