Oct. 1-4, 2026, is revving up to be this year’s best week in road racing. Boasting 24 title bouts and hundreds of the nation’s best racers, the 2026 Mission Foods SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® is set to be spectacular, making it the perfect week to settle in on the sofa, pull up the broadcast, grab some tortillas, and take in four amazing days of action at Road America from the comfort of your own home. The price to get the online video stream couldn’t be better (free!), the level of effort needed to view is ridiculously low (nearly any internet-connected computer, phone, or tablet will do), and the broadcast team is stellar. And this year, the online broadcast will involve more than just the races.
Undeniably, the absolute best place to view the 2026 SCCA Runoffs is in Elkhart Lake, WI, where the 63rd edition of the Runoffs will take place. If you can’t be on site, though, catching the long weekend live on SCCA’s official online stream is a close second.
The broadcast will be available on SCCA’s Official YouTube channel, with links popping up on scca.com as well as on SCCA’s official social media channels.
And the broadcast team is one you’re going to love.
It All Begins with Qualifying
The SCCA Runoffs video broadcast begins bright and early this year, with the video stream cranking up for qualifying to capture the action on Sunoco 260 Thursday (Oct. 1), followed by Hawk Brake Through Performer Day on Friday (the same day that determines the Tire Rack Pole Winners), thanks to DriversEye Live.
The team that brings you the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour broadcasts will provide the Runoffs qualifying video stream, with Gregg Ginsberg (who will host the podium on Saturday and Sunday) and Brendan Kaczmarek calling the action alongside the voice of Road America, Eric Mueller.
Expect some special guests to pop in and out of the booth as well.
And that’s just qualifying.
Race Day Action
When the first of the Runoffs Hagerty Race Days rolls around on Saturday, Oct. 4, there will be even more voices filling the airwaves.
John Fippin, Brendan Kaczmarek, Larry MacLeod, and Tom O’Gorman will provide the color and play-by-play, with Heyward Wagner returning to his role in pit lane for race insight as well as immediate reactions from the podium finishers.
The race broadcast will be assembled by longtime Runoffs producers at Apex Broadcast, providing multiple camera views, replays, and top-tier production quality that rivals that of any TV race broadcast
How to Watch
Just like with those racing, online viewing also requires a little prep, although not much.
The free(!) online broadcast of the 2026 Mission Foods SCCA National Championship Runoffs can be found through SCCA’s Official YouTube channel – so there’s no excuse to miss it.
