FS1 to Televise SRO America Championships in 2026

Racing Calendar Loaded with Iconic Venues, Familiar Names

SRO America is pleased to announce that FS1 will televise enhanced broadcast packages for the GT World Challenge America powered by AWS and Pirelli GT4 America championships as part of the 2026 racing season. This broadcast agreement brings two of North America’s premier GT racing series to FS1, delivering expanded national exposure and continued growth for sports car racing fans.


 

Beginning in 2026, both GT World Challenge America (GTWCA) and Pirelli GT4 America will be featured in one-hour packaged programs showcasing on-track action, championship battles, and key storylines from each series. All programming will air on FS1, which reaches approximately 60 million homes across North America.


 

The broadcasts will provide in-depth commentary and enhanced production elements, featuring a familiar lineup of SRO America talent. Ryan Myrehn returns for play-by-play commentary and analysis, alongside Calvin Fish as expert color commentator, with longtime FOX Sports presenter Amanda Busick serving as host and reporter.


 

“Having GT World Challenge America powered by AWS and Pirelli GT4 America on FS1 is an important step in the growth and visibility of our championships,” said Greg Gill, President and CEO of SRO America. “FS1 provides a powerful platform to reach a broad, passionate audience while honoring the history of GT racing on this network. We look forward to working with FS1 and reaching new heights together as we bring the excitement of premier GT racing to more homes across North America.”


 

Both championships will compete at seven venues on the 2026 calendar, including iconic circuits such as Sonoma Raceway, Circuit of The Americas, Sebring International Raceway, Road Atlanta, Road America, Barber Motorsports Park, and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.


 

The season finale for SRO America and the Intercontinental GT Challenge, the Indianapolis 8 Hour, will take place on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.439-mile, 14-turn infield road course. The event has featured a wide range of accomplished drivers, including four-time and reigning NTT INDYCAR Series champion and 2025 Indianapolis 500 winner Alex Palou, as well as two-time NTT INDYCAR Series champion and 2018 Indianapolis 500 champion Will Power.


 

Full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver and actor Frankie Muniz is also set to compete in the full 2026 Pirelli GT4 America season.
