SCORE’s official 2026 schedule, updated June 30, lists San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur as the host of the 59th Baja 1000 on Nov 9–15. The original announcement named only “Los Cabos”, so this is the first official narrowing of the location. The exact start/finish site, the contingency and awards venues and the start times still haven’t been published.
The same document moves the start of pre-running to Oct 24, a week earlier than the date given in last year’s announcement, and lists the course at roughly 1,000 miles. There is still no course map.
For fans planning the trip, our Los Cabos travel guide covers flights, airport transfers and where to stay, and the spectator guide covers SCORE’s safety rules and live tracking. We check SCORE daily and will publish a “where to watch” guide as soon as the route is official.
