Autosport International Show 2026 Cancelled, Garage Talk Source Confirms

The long-running Autosport International Show, a highlight of the UK motorsport and automotive calendar, will not take place in 2026, a Garage Talk source has confirmed.

Held annually at the NEC in Birmingham, Autosport International has been a key meeting point for motorsport teams, manufacturers, suppliers, and fans since its launch in 1991. Traditionally staged every January, the event combines trade days with public show days, drawing thousands of visitors from across the UK and Europe.

According to the source, organisers have decided to cancel the 2026 edition. The reasons behind the decision have not yet been made public, though speculation points to industry pressures and shifting event strategies within the automotive and motorsport sectors.

The news will come as a major blow to businesses and fans alike. For many, Autosport International has been the first big date in the motorsport year, offering a showcase of the latest racing technology, car launches, and appearances from top drivers.

At present, no official announcement has been made on the event’s website or social channels, and it remains unclear whether the cancellation will extend beyond 2026 or if the show will return in future years.

We did ask the organisers for comment, but they declined. Garage Talk will continue to follow this developing story and bring updates as more details emerge.
