The 2026 FIA Middle East Baja Cup will enter its fifth year, featuring four rounds hosted in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, and Dubai. An official candidate event is also planned in Oman at the end of March.
The season will open with the Saudi Baja from January 29 to 31, followed by the Jordan Baja in Aqaba from February 12 to 14. The Qatar International Baja is scheduled for Lusail from October 28 to 31, and the finale will take place in Dubai from November 5 to 8.
All four rounds will count toward the FIA World Baja Cup, though drivers may register for only one championship. The Cup’s format aims to provide a cost-effective path for competitors to contest an FIA title.
Titles will be awarded in categories including Drivers, Navigators, Teams, Ultimate Drivers and Navigators, Challenger, SSV and Stock Drivers and Navigators, as well as Junior (under 26 on January 1) and Master (over 50 on January 1) Drivers.
