The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola will open the 2026 World Endurance Championship on 17-19 April.
With the Qatar 1812km moved to later in the year due to the Iran War, the season will now get underway with three European races in quick succession.
Ferrari is the favourite for victory at its home race after a dominant 2025 campaign in which it won both WEC titles and scored yet another victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The 2025 edition of the Imola 6 Hours was won by the #51 Ferrari 499P of Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi and James Calado, although the Italian manufacturer's other two cars failed to finish on the podium.
