There are two Supercars rounds left in 2026, and both are on TV in the next three weeks. The Penrite Oil Sandown 500 is this weekend, 6-8 November, with the races at 3:30pm on Saturday and Sunday; the bp Adelaide Grand Final follows on 26-29 November. Sandown is on Kayo and Foxtel only. The Adelaide Grand Final is on Kayo and Foxtel and also free on Seven and 7plus, except for the Friday race.

This page is the TV schedule for those two rounds and the start of 2027. For the season, results and the full 2027 calendar, see our Supercars hub.

Sandown 500 on TV: 6-8 November 2026

Sandown is the semi final of the Repco Supercars Finals Series, a 500 km event of 161 laps at Sandown Raceway in Melbourne. These times are from the Supercars event page, which lists them without a time zone; we have read them as Melbourne time (AEDT), which is the local time at the circuit.

How to watch Sandown

Sandown is subscription only: Kayo and the Fox Sports channels on Foxtel show every session. Seven's free-to-air list for 2026, published by Supercars in October 2025, has five rounds (Sydney, Townsville, Bathurst, Gold Coast and Adelaide) and does not include Sandown. Supercars also publishes a TV and streaming guide for each round, which is the place to check channel numbers and the practice times.

Adelaide Grand Final on TV: 26-29 November 2026

The Grand Final is "four drivers, three races, one champion", on the Adelaide Parklands street circuit. The race times on the Supercars event page, listed without a time zone, are read here as Adelaide local time (ACDT):

Race 35Friday 27 November4:20pm

The deciding race starts at 3:15pm in Adelaide on Sunday 29 November. The next table gives that moment in every state and territory.

How to watch the Adelaide Grand Final

Kayo and Foxtel show every session. Seven and 7plus are showing the Adelaide Grand Final free in 2026, according to Supercars' October 2025 announcement of its free-to-air rounds. Speedcafe reported that Seven does not show Friday races because of Foxtel's Friday exclusivity, so Race 35 is expected to be on Kayo and Foxtel only. We have not seen Seven's Adelaide schedule yet, so check Seven's guide before relying on the free coverage.
