Mexico City hosted its first NASCAR Cup Series weekend in June, producing success and challenges to drivers and teams. However, it doesn't appear that Mexico City will return in 2026.

JOLIET, IL. (CAROLINA SPORTS LIVE) — NASCAR’s Cup Series won’t return to Mexico City in 2026, and in its place will be Chicagoland Speedway, sources confirm with Carolina Sports Live.

NASCAR will go without an international race in 2026, as the logistics proved difficult. Chicagoland is poised to take Mexico City's spot.

Mexico City might have to wait until 2027 for a return, Chicago and San Diego could both be on the calendar, and more schedule nuggets.
