The 2026 Australian Formula Open: Driven by FRCA is a multi-event open-wheel single seater motor racing championship. This is the fourth season of the Australian Formula Open series, which was originally founded by two-time Australian Gold Star winner Tim Macrow in 2023 as a direct successor to the Australian Formula 3 championship. The AFO moniker was then taken over by the organizers of the NSW Formula Car Championship, an open formula championship run since 2011 as one of Motorsport Australia's State Championships, in 2025.
The championship is scheduled to be run over five weekends from March to October.
All teams and drivers are Australian-registered.
The 2026 calendar was revealed in November of 2025. The series will not return to Winton Motor Raceway, instead holding an event at Queensland Raceway.
