Overview
- The DTM held a two-race weekend at the Lausitzring on June 20–21 using the circuit's Grand-Prix layout.
- Organizers published a precise timetable with Qualifying 1 set for 09:00–09:20 and Race 1 for 13:30–14:30 on Saturday and Qualifying 2 at 09:05–09:25 with Race 2 at 13:30–14:30 on Sunday.
- Both qualifying sessions were available only through online streams rather than free-to-air television.
- The two races were broadcast live on ProSieben in Germany and on ServusTV in Austria and were also carried across Joyn, ran.de, the ran app, ServusTV On and Motorsport‑Magazin.com's free MSM livestream, which offered English commentary.
- The weekend was the first German stop of the 2026 season within a 16-race calendar and a 21-car grid from eight manufacturers, and the season narrative of strong parity continued since no driver had yet won two races.
