Andersen Promotions Announces 2026 USF Pro Championships Schedule
Andersen Promotions has unveiled the official calendar for the 2026 USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire, marking the event’s 17th season. The series continues to successfully identify and develop talent, having awarded over $29 million in scholarships since its inception.
The recent history of the program illustrates its effectiveness in fostering future stars—each of the last eight USF Pro 2000 champions has progressed to the Indy NXT and NTT IndyCar Series. Notably, reigning champion Max Garcia, who raced for Pabst Racing, is already in testing for his debut with ABEL Motorsports, alongside fellow graduates Jack Jeffers and Leonardo Escorpioni.
Key Highlights of the 2026 Schedule:
- Total of 32 races, supporting IndyCar events.
- Introduction of two oval events for USF Pro 2000, including The Milwaukee Mile.
- USF Pro 2000 and USF2000 will race on the Streets of Markham for the first time.
- USF Pro 2000 will also debut at a new event on the streets of Arlington.
- USF Juniors will gain exposure at Lime Rock Park, home to last year’s record-setting NASCAR Truck Series event.
- The season concludes at Road America in late September, featuring a Championship Awards Celebration at The Osthoff Resort.
Financial incentives remain robust, with over $1.48 million in prize money and awards, including significant scholarships of $594,500 for the USF Pro 2000 champion, $405,050 for the USF2000 champion, and $249,675 for the USF Juniors champion. Continental Tire reiterates its commitment with $53,000 in pole position awards across the season.
In this year alone, 74 drivers participated in the USF Pro Championships, with 31 drivers reaching podium positions. The series will also maintain its collaboration with IndyCar and AMR Safety Team, ensuring competitive integrity and safety.
Live streaming will continue via USF Pro Championships TV, entering its 13th season and recently honored with a 2025 Telly Award for its mini-documentary series “The Climb.”
Dan Andersen, CEO of Andersen Promotions, stated, “Our 2026 schedule brings new and exciting events while maintaining our footprint at traditional venues that serve as critical training grounds for our drivers. We are thankful for the support of our partners in assembling a calendar that highlights driver development and offers excellent exposure for competitors.”
The USF Pro Fall Combine at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is set for this weekend, with the season kicking off in February at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
