The 6 Hours of Monza closes the 2026 FIA WEC season and brings the World Championship back to Brianza after its last visit in 2023. The HYPERCAR Drivers' title is still up for grabs, in an all-Toyota duel between the #8 of Brendon Hartley, Ryo Hirakawa and Sébastien Buemi, the points leader with 114 points, and the #7 of Nyck de Vries, Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayashi, with 97 points. 26 points remain on the table: the verdict will come from Hyperpole and the race.
The Hypercar constructors' title is already in Toyota's hands, but at Monza the finale still carries plenty of weight. Ferrari arrives at its home event with the aim of ending a difficult season on a stronger note and is also looking at second place among the constructors: the gap to BMW is 24 points, with 44 still available in the final round. In front of the Italian crowd, the 499P is chasing a result that gives the year's final act a stronger meaning.
LMGT3 also presents a race that remains open until the very last chequered flag. The fight for the team title involves the #33 Corvette of TF Sport, the #92 Porsche of The Bend Manthey, the #34 Corvette of Racing Team Turkey by TF and the #69 BMW of Team WRT. Monza therefore heads into its most anticipated weekend with more than one verdict still unresolved.
The Monza National Autodrome measures 5.793 metres and is one of the most recognisable symbols of pure speed. Its long straights and fast corners make it a track where efficiency, braking precision and straight-line pace matter.
The WEC returns to the Brianza circuit after the 2023 6 Hours, won by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López with Toyota Gazoo Racing.
Live coverage begins on Discovery+ and FIAWEC+ on Saturday with Free Practice 3 and qualifying, while Sunday's race will also be on Sky Sport, NOW, Eurosport 1 and HBO Max. No free-to-air delayed broadcast is scheduled.
Sources do not list any delayed broadcasts for this weekend.
Monza is preparing to decide the season with the titles still in the balance and with the weight of the home race for the Italian protagonists. On Sunday the championship ends where speed always makes the difference, but only the race will say who can truly celebrate.
