Croatia Rally 2026: schedule and TV times

Back to Croatia

Almost a month after the last round of the championship in Kenya, where Takamoto Katsuta achieved his first career win, the WRC will return this weekend to Europe, moreover on an asphalt route (the first since Monte Carlo, although in the Principality it was the snow abandonment that made the challenge more difficult). For the first time since 2024, the championship will return to Croatia after its absence in 2025, the year in which the nation became a stage of the European Championship.

The route, the standings and the schedule

Unlike previous editions, the route will be closer to the Adriatic coast, for a total of just over 300 km timed divided into twenty stages scheduled from Friday, April 10 to Sunday, April 12. We start again from a favorable standings situation for Elfyn Evans, leading the world championship with a total of 66 points but closely followed by the Swede Oliver Solberg, 8 points behind.
