Dakar Rally Program.
January 2-16, 2026
The Dakar Rally 2026 will start on January 2nd with the prologue followed by the start of the rally with stage 1 on January 35d and will end on January 16th with the final stage and the award ceremony.
The final race date and the starting and finish locations will be announced in April 2025.
In 2026, the organizers will also surprise us with a great rally program and special stages. As usual, the final route will probably not be announced until November.
The route, schedule and stage start/finish locations are adjusted daily to suit the circumstances such as weather and track conditions and are sometimes only announced shortly before the start in the early morning. That is one of the challenges of the Dakar, that you never know exactly what is going to happen.
Even if you are familiar with other Dakar rallies, each edition promises to be different, with new routes and new regions in which the rally takes place.
