As the fight for the 2025 Division 2 title continues this weekend at Boucles Chevrotines, and with Jos Verstappen already locking in the Division 1 crown, the Kroon-Oil Belgian Rally Championship is wasting no time shaping the battleground for 2026. With clarity, structure, and competitive balance in mind, the 2026 calendars for Division 1 and Division 2 have now been revealed.
Division 1 will feature eight events, welcoming back the TAC Rally to its roster. However, the scoring format remains consistent – each driver’s six best results will count, selected from a maximum of nine rallies (including up to one from Division 2).
The championship fires up on February 28 at the Rally van Haspengouw and builds intensity through the spring with the TAC Rally (April 11) and Rallye de Wallonie (April 25–26) – the first two-day event of the season. The action continues with the Sezoensrally (May 16) and the iconic Ardeca Ypres Rally (June 26–27) before the summer break. The season restarts in force with the A&D Omloop van Vlaanderen (September 4–5) and East Belgian Rally (September 26), culminating in the Spa Rally finale on November 28–29.
For Division 2, changes are sharper. The calendar tightens to six rounds, dropping the Wallonie support event but adding a new challenge: the Ardennes Rally Festival at Vresse-sur-Semois (May 30), formerly known as the South Belgian Rally. The D2 opener will be the Rallye des Ardennes (March 14) in Dinant, followed by Vresse-sur-Semois. D2 contenders will also run during the Saturday of the Ypres Rally (June 27), before taking on Boucles Chevrotines (August 1), and concluding with support events at Omloop van Vlaanderen (September 4–5) and the Spa Rally (November 28).
These dates remain subject to confirmation pending the finalization of the Event Promotor Agreement.
But one constant is clear: each rally brings its own terrain, weather, and rhythm, offering a true test of adaptability and precision. That’s exactly why the Vittorio Caneva Rally School continues to stand behind the Belgian Junior Rally Championship – supporting the next generation of talent as they develop their skills on some of the most technically diverse stages in Europe.
From gravel-stage finesse to tarmac mastery, our partnership aligns with our mission: building champions through tailored, high-performance rally training. The future of Belgian rally is not just promising – it’s accelerating. And we’re proud to be part of it.
