The 2026–2027 FIDE Circuit is a system comprising the top chess tournaments in 2026 and 2027, which will serve as a qualification path for the Candidates Tournament 2028. Players receive points based on their performance and the strength of the tournament. A player's final Circuit score will be the sum of their twelve best results of the years. It also includes a sub-ranking list which consists scores of only tournaments with more than 50 participants, serving as a qualification path for Total Chess World Championship Tour events. Unlike every year before 2026, this FIDE Circuit will be combined of tournaments played in 2026 and 2027. All Circuits till 2025 included events of the year itself only. This is an open category equivalent to 2026-2027 FIDE Women's Circuit (as in women category).
