The 2026 USF Juniors Championship Presented by Continental marks the newest chapter in America’s premier entry‑level open‑wheel development series. As the first official step on the USF Pro Championships ladder, USF Juniors introduces young drivers to professional formula racing and prepares them for advancement into USF2000, USF Pro 2000, Indy NXT, and ultimately the NTT IndyCar Series. The season features a diverse international roster of rookies and rising talent competing in identical machinery across some of the most historic road courses in North America.

The series utilizes the Tatuus JR‑22 chassis, a lightweight, modern formula car powered by a 2.0‑liter engine with a sequential gearbox and aerodynamic package designed to teach core open‑wheel fundamentals. The JR‑22 emphasizes precision, mechanical grip, braking technique, cornering discipline, drafting strategy, and consistency — making it the ideal platform for developing drivers at the beginning of their professional careers. With identical cars across the grid, the 2026 USF Juniors season places full focus on driver skill, racecraft, and progression through the open‑wheel ladder.

Throughout 2026, USF Juniors competes at major American road courses, delivering high‑intensity racing and providing young drivers with exposure to professional paddocks, structured race weekends, and national‑level competition. The championship attracts talent from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and beyond, creating one of the most globally diverse junior formula fields in North America.
