Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock will compete at all 20 events, one (Top Fuel and Funny Car) or three (Pro Stock Car) more than in 2025. Pro Stock Motorcycle will compete at 14 events, the same as 2025. There will be All-Star Call Out races, which are based on a format used by the Discovery television program Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings, where the drivers select their opponents in early rounds. Nineteen tracks will host NHRA races, including three new national event tracks in well-established drag racing markets and one hosting its first national event since 1998.
