Croatia will return to the WRC calendar this weekend as part of the 2026 championship, marking round four of the 14-rally season. It also brings a return to tarmac roads, which will be the first time the drivers have contested on the surface since Monte Carlo in January.
It is to be a condensed event, set over three days, starting on Friday, April 10, and ending on Sunday, April 12.
20 stages will be completed over the course of the Croatia Rally, with both Friday and Saturday sharing duties as the biggest days of the weekend with eight stages apiece. Sunday will wrap up proceedings with four stages.
Friday will also contain the longest stage of the weekend at a staggering 23.78km with the Beram-Cerovlje test. It just beats Saturday’s longest, Generalski Stol-Zdihovo (22.48km), by over 1km.
So, what is the schedule for the stages?
