The 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Australia (known for commercial reasons as the 2026 Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia) is a scheduled sports car racing series open to drivers of Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars. The season started at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on March 27 and will conclude at Sandown Raceway on November 8.

The reigning champion, Jake Santalucia, would not return to the series to defend his title as he would graduate to the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia category for 2026.
