The Ferrari WEC Monza 2026 schedule runs from November 6–8, with the six-hour race listed for Sunday at 11:00 local time. That converts to 5:00 a.m. Eastern and 2:00 a.m. Pacific in the United States. However, practice times remain TBC, and the listed qualifying and race times need a final official timetable check.
Schedule status: This guide reflects the supplied event information dated October 21, 2026. The weekend dates come from FIA WEC announcements; the session times below come from Hyundai Motorsport’s event listing.
When is the 2026 6 Hours of Monza?
The 2026 6 Hours of Monza takes place at Autodromo Nazionale Monza from Friday, November 6, through Sunday, November 8. Friday has the first two practice sessions. Saturday brings final practice, qualifying and Hyperpole, before Sunday’s race.
The FIA WEC announcement confirming the final two rounds identifies Monza as the replacement for the planned Bahrain round. Consequently, this is the championship’s endurance-racing visit, not Monza’s Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix.
For travel planning, keep the whole weekend in view. Practice gives spectators more opportunities to see the cars, while qualifying determines the starting order.
What is the full WEC Monza 2026 schedule?
The 2026 6 Hours of Monza schedule below separates confirmed session days from listed start times. Hyundai Motorsport’s Monza event page lists qualifying at 15:00, Hyperpole at 15:20 and the race at 11:00. However, it leaves all three practice start times TBC.
| Session | Date | Monza local time | US Eastern | US Pacific | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Practice 1 | Friday, November 6 | TBC | TBC | TBC | Day confirmed; time TBC |
| Free Practice 2 | Friday, November 6 | TBC | TBC | TBC | Day confirmed; time TBC |
| Free Practice 3 | Saturday, November 7 | TBC | TBC | TBC | Day confirmed; time TBC |
| Qualifying | Saturday, November 7 | 15:00 CET | 9:00 a.m. EST | 6:00 a.m. PST | Listed time; recheck final timetable |
| Hyperpole | Saturday, November 7 | 15:20 CET | 9:20 a.m. EST | 6:20 a.m. PST | Listed time; recheck final timetable |
| Six-hour race | Sunday, November 8 | 11:00 CET | 5:00 a.m. EST | 2:00 a.m. PST | Listed time; recheck final timetable |
These qualifying entries are headline schedule times, not a complete class-by-class running order. Therefore, Ferrari fans should check the final Hypercar session timetable rather than assume every 499P runs at 15:00.
Also, distinguish a race start from a broadcast start. Coverage may begin earlier, so check both before setting a recording.
What time does the 2026 Monza WEC race start in the US?
The listed WEC Monza 2026 start time is 5:00 a.m. Eastern / 2:00 a.m. Pacific on Sunday, November 8. Monza’s 11:00 start uses Central European Time, or UTC+1.
By that weekend, US Eastern uses EST, or UTC−5, and Pacific uses PST, or UTC−8. Therefore, subtract six hours for Eastern and nine hours for Pacific. All three race-start times fall on the same calendar date.
For the 6 Hours of Monza 2026 US time, a full six-hour running window would extend to roughly 11:00 a.m. Eastern or 8:00 a.m. Pacific. However, that is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed broadcast finish.

When is Ferrari racing at Monza in WEC?
Ferrari’s Hypercar programme follows the November 6–8 race weekend. However, the available information does not yet supply exact Ferrari practice-session start times.
Plan around three different objectives:
- Friday: Watch practice running and preparation for the race.
- Saturday: Follow final practice, then the relevant Hypercar qualifying sessions.
- Sunday: Be ready before the listed 11:00 local race start.
Monza’s listed layout measures 5.79 km, or 3.60 miles, with 11 corners. For context on cornering loads, our guide to what G-force means when driving explains the units without confusing them with speed.
Safety note: Keep acceleration and limit-handling tests to closed circuits or approved private venues, never public roads.
Which Ferrari cars are racing in the 2026 WEC?
The provisional 2026 WEC full-season entry list includes Ferrari 499P entries numbered 50, 51 and 83. These are the Hypercar numbers Ferrari fans should look for in the season-entry information.
However, a full-season list is not the final Monza event entry list. Confirm the event-specific entries and driver line-ups before making plans around a particular crew.
Likewise, a scheduled Hyperpole session does not confirm that every Ferrari entry will participate. Keep the timetable, entry list and session results separate when following the weekend.
Where can I watch the 2026 6 Hours of Monza in the US?
The supplied event sources establish dates and listed session times, but they do not establish a confirmed US broadcaster or streaming package. Therefore, this guide does not name an unverified viewing service.
Before race weekend, check the championship’s official viewing information and your provider’s programme guide. Confirm US availability, live versus delayed coverage, and whether qualifying and the full race appear in the same package.
Also, check replay access separately. A 2:00 a.m. Pacific start makes on-demand availability particularly useful, but do not assume a live package includes it.
How can TripRank help with the drive to Monza?
