2027 Nürburgring Endurance Series with eight race dates

The 2026 season of the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Endurance Series is in full swing, and the lights are already green for what promises to be a historic year in motorsport: In 2027, the long-established racing series on the Nordschleife will celebrate its 50th anniversary – coinciding with the 100th birthday of the Nürburgring itself. This double anniversary makes the coming season a true milestone in the history of the ‘Green Hell’. A total of eight races are on the calendar for next year. By finalising the schedule well in advance, the NLS is providing planning certainty for teams, drivers and partners, whilst continuing to rely on tried-and-tested structures in this anniversary year.

“Half a century of endurance racing on the Nordschleife is a historic milestone of which we are extremely proud – all the more so as we are able to celebrate this anniversary alongside the 100th anniversary of the Nürburgring,” says VLN Managing Director Mike Jäger. “Since its inception in 1977, the series has retained its unique character on this iconic circuit whilst continuously evolving. The fact that we are able to present the calendar so early gives everyone involved complete certainty in their planning under familiar conditions. This double anniversary year of 2027 will be an absolute celebration for all motorsport fans.”

Strong media figures for the 2026 season

The current reach of digital coverage underlines just how widespread the fascination with the NLS is worldwide. With the first seven races of the current season already successfully completed, the series has, as things stand, recorded an impressive 23.99 million viewers for its live streams, as well as nearly 214 million video views across various social media platforms. On YouTube, more than 180,000 fans have now subscribed to the official channel.
