The 2026 calendar will once again culminate with the World Championships – being held this year in Stuttgart, Germany – but the headline news is the reinstatement of the much-loved World Trophy and the introduction of the first ever Women’s World Championships, taking place along with the Rookie World Championship in Budapest, Hungary, over the first weekend of June. The fan favourite Trophy format will return in September with the European Trophy, being held in Barzkowice, Poland, on 12th and 13th September. All roads then lead to Stuttgart, with the season highlight World Championships taking place on 30th and 31st October at what is expected to be a sold-out Porsche-Arena.
