(23 July 2026) The weekend of 24–26 July 2026 will be one of the most exceptional in the history of Polish rallying. The 82nd Rally Poland will simultaneously host three prestigious events. The headline event will be a round of the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC), accompanied by rounds of the KIQ Polish Rally Championship (RSMP) and the Millers Oils Historic Polish Rally Championship (HRSMP).
All three rallies will share the same organizational base. The rally headquarters, service park, and finish podium ceremony will be located at Superauto.pl Silesian Stadium. In one place, fans will have the opportunity to watch the service crews at work, meet the top drivers, and see the rally cars being prepared between stages.
Moreover, one stage will be held on the grounds of the legendary Witches’ Cauldron, as the stadium is popularly known.
The FIA European Rally Championship round is, of course, the most prestigious among three rallies. This year, it is the most important international motorsport event taking place in Poland and the oldest round of the European championship, returning to Poland for the 55th time.
An additional attraction for spectators is that the route of the 82nd Rally Poland will be contested not only by ERC competitors but also by crews competing in the KIQ Polish Rally Championship. The Polish championship crews will tackle exactly the same route as the ERC competitors. Both championships feature 15 special stages covering nearly 188 kilometres, creating a direct showdown between Europe’s leading rally crews and Poland’s best.
At the same time as the FIA ERC and KIQ RSMP rounds, the Millers Oils Historic Polish Rally Championship (HRSMP) will also take place. Historic rally crews will contest a shortened route totaling 97.4 km, concluding their competition on Saturday evening after SS8 on the grounds of the Superauto.pl Silesian Stadium.
A supporting event for the 82nd Rally Poland will be the 10th Rally Silesia, whose competitors will also race on roads used for six of the ERC special stages.
