Formula Drift’s 2026 Season Finale Returns to Long Beach
Formula Drift's championship comes down to the wire in the same city twice this fall.
When is the Formula Drift 2026 finale?
October 23–24, 2026, on the Streets of Long Beach — the "Shoreline Showdown," where the 2026 champion is crowned, confirmed on Formula Drift's own 2026 schedule.
Worth pairing with JCCS three weeks earlier
The Japanese Classic Car Show lands October 3 at Marina Green Park, also in Long Beach — a three-week stretch with two very different JDM-adjacent events in the same city, if you're planning a trip around either.
What to check on your own car either way
- Shift knob fitment — confirm your thread size before ordering anything new.
- Interior consistency — small cabin details read as finished or unfinished just as much as the exterior does in photos.
