The 2026 WEC race at Fuji on TV and via live stream

It’s all set: Tomorrow, 27 September, the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) will stage the sixth race of the 2026 season. The venue is the circuit in Fuji, Japan – meaning Toyota will be on home turf. Alpine will start from pole position. But the competition from Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Genesis, Ferrari, Peugeot and Toyota is hot on their heels. That naturally promises plenty of racing excitement.

The Six Hours of Fuji gets underway tomorrow, Sunday 27 September 2026, at 4.00 am (CEST). The race is therefore expected to finish around 10.00 am (CEST). Naturally, you’ll be able to follow all the racing action from the comfort of your own home. Here are some options for doing so (all information is provided without guarantee, of course):

The WEC from Fuji on television

Eurosport 1 will be broadcasting the race live on television from 3.30 am to 10.30 am. So you’ll need to get up early.

The WEC from Fuji via live stream

The action from Fuji can also be watched via live stream. There are three options for this, though they all require a subscription. RTL+ will be streaming the race on its platform on Sunday from 3.30 am. HBO Max will also be broadcasting the race from 3.30 am. The FIA WEC also has its own subscription-based platform (for desktop and as an app) on which the action is shown. This has been completely revamped for 2026 and is now called FIAWEC+. Various packages can be booked there. Commentary is available in English or French. You can also watch the action without any commentary. Furthermore, FIAWEC+ features various on-board cameras that you can switch between. There is also a timing monitor called ‘Live Timing Pro’, where you can track the current situation on the track. FIAWEC+ will begin broadcasting the race at 3.15 am. So there’s really nothing standing in the way of a motorsport-filled Sunday morning.
