Manufacturer changes
Toyota entered the series, marking the first time that three manufacturers are represented since 2019, when Nissan left the series.
Team changes
Walkinshaw TWG Racing (formerly Walkinshaw Andretti United) switched from running Ford Mustangs to Toyota GR Supras in a collaboration with Toyota Gazoo Racing, to become the Japanese manufacturer's factory racing team. The team also underwent a name change as United Autosports sold their stake in the team and Andretti Global had been taken over by TWG Motorsports in 2023.
Brad Jones Racing joined Walkinshaw TWG Racing in switching to Toyota GR Supras, from running Chevrolet Camaros making it five Toyotas for 2026.
Triple Eight Race Engineering returned to Ford and running Mustangs, after having entered General Motors-backed Holdens and Chevrolets since 2010. Triple Eight Race Engineering also became the homologation team for all Ford teams. They also expanded to a three car team, for the first time since 2018, utilising a Teams Racing Charter (TRC) from SCT Motorsport, who parted ways with Brad Jones Racing.
Team 18 became the homologation team for Chevrolet following Triple Eight Race Engineering's departure from the brand. They are the third General Motors homologation team in the V8 Supercars era, after Walkinshaw Racing (1993–2016) and Triple Eight Race Engineering (2017–2025).
Driver changes Nick Percat announced his retirement from full-time competition at the end of 2025, and joined Triple Eight Race Engineering as a co-driver. His seat at Matt Stone Racing was taken by 2024 Super2 Champion Zach Bates.
James Courtney also retired from full-time competition and will join Team 18 as a co-driver.
James Golding replaced Courtney at the Blanchard Racing Team. Golding left PremiAir Racing, who fields a new lineup following the departure of Richie Stanaway after the 2025 Gold Coast 500. The pair was replaced by Declan Fraser, who made his first full-time return to the category since 2023, and Jayden Ojeda, who made his full-time debut in the category after participating in various races as a wildcard and co-driver since 2020, including replacing Stanaway for the final two rounds of the previous season. Stanaway joined the Blanchard Racing Team as a co-driver, partnering Golding.
Will Davison stepped back from full-time competition and departed Dick Johnson Racing, where he was replaced by 2025 Super2 Series champion Rylan Gray. Davison joined Grove Racing as a co-driver for the Enduro Cup races.
Cameron Hill departed from Matt Stone Racing to join Brad Jones Racing, replacing Bryce Fullwood. He was replaced by Jack Le Brocq, who departed Erebus Motorsport to return to the team for the first time since 2023. The Erebus seat was filled by Jobe Stewart, who graduated from the Super2 Series.
Jaxon Evans lost his seat at Brad Jones Racing as SCT Motorsport moved their Teams Racing Charter to Triple Eight Race Engineering. Jackson Walls was named as SCT's driver, graduating from the Super2 Series. Evans will join Walkinshaw Andretti United as a co-driver.
Mid season changes Brodie Kostecki was ruled out of the final race of the Darwin Triple Crown, due to heat related illness. He was replaced by his enduro co-driver Todd Hazelwood.
Thomas Randle was also ruled out of the final race of the Darwin Triple Crown, due to heat related illness. He was also replaced by Endurance Cup co-driver Mark Winterbottom.
Wildcard entries With Triple Eight Race Engineering switching brands from Chevrolet to Ford, their wildcard program concluded. As a result, Craig Lowndes left after 20 years with the team and moved to Team 18, who started a wildcard entry as they became the homologation team for Chevrolet. Lowndes will be joined by Porsche Carrera Cup race winner Bayley Hall for the enduros, while Hall will get a solo round in Ipswich.
Matt Stone Racing will run a wildcard entry for Aaron Seton in Townsville and Ipswich. Initially, the Townsville entry was intended for Cameron Crick, however health issues prevented Crick from following through with these plans, and the drive subsequently went to Seton.
Tickford Racing will run a wildcard entry for Reuben Goodall in Townsville, and for Ben Gomersall in Ipswich and Tailem Bend. Joining Gomersall for the enduro at The Bend will be Campbell Logan.
Garry Rogers Motorsport entered an ex-Triple Eight Camaro for James Moffat and two-time Australian National Trans-Am Series champion Nathan Herne for the Bathurst 1000, the first time the team competed in the series since the same race in 2020. The entry will be Herne's debut in the championship; he attempted to compete as part of the 2020 effort, but was denied the required licence.

Calendar changes The Euromarque Motorsport Park will host a Supercars event—the Christchurch Super 440—for the first time. This will mark the first time in the category's history that two events will be held in New Zealand.
The Bend 500 will use the West layout for the first time since the second The Bend SuperSprint round in 2020, instead of the International layout, in order to increase overtaking possibilities, better viewing for spectators and offer more different strategies.
The third race of the Taupō Super 440 was cancelled in response to the incoming Cyclone Vaianu, with Race 10 occurring in Christchurch instead.
