Rally Sweden is the only true snow rally of the WRC calendar. This year's itinerary features no new stages, but still, 35% of the route is new compared to 2025 thanks to stages being run in the opposite direction.

The 2026 WRC season opener features an exciting new itinerary, with over 70% of the route being new for this year. The event makes its way back to Monte-Carlo from Gap on Saturday now instead of Sunday, with the day capped off by a run of a Super Special in Monaco, which uses parts of the Grand Prix Circuit.
