Calendar changes

The championship was expected to be expanded to fourteen rounds, with eight Europe-based rallies and six fly-away events covering the season.[19] However, the number of the events was reduced to thirteen following a lengthy delay of the calendar.[20] The anticipated rally based in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia was absent from the calendar.[21]

Rally Mexico returned to the calendar.

Several rally organizers also expressed their interests to return to the championship, including Rally Argentina, Rally Australia, the German Rally, and an event in Northern Ireland.[30][31][32][33] The Argentine and Northern Irish bids ultimately failed.[34][35] In addition to the candidate events, the WRC Promoter GmbH was also working on the calendar expansion to the Middle East and United States.[36]
