PrecisionFPV in Fonthill, Ontario, will host a three-day championship weekend beginning August 1, 2026, as NiagaraFPV and RatRace bring the Canadian Nationals back to Ontario for a second straight year. The format folds the Canadian Nationals and the MultiGP Canadian Regional Finals into one weekend.

Day 1 is built around Nationals qualification, with pilot registration, technical inspection, a pilot meeting, a track walkthrough and a minimum of 10 qualification packs. The Nationals side of the event uses best three consecutive lap times. Day 2 splits the main event into Sport mains in the morning and Pro mains in the afternoon, then closes with a podium ceremony. Day 3 is reserved for the MultiGP Regional Finals, which require competitors to have flown at least one MultiGP Regional Qualifier event hosted across Canada.

Pilots must have a MultiGP account and a Basic or Advanced Transport Canada RPAS Certification. Hardware is restricted to 5.8 GHz FPV analog or HDZero, a 25 mW VTX maximum, no HDZero mW offset, switchable Raceband support, and builds must display band and power on the OSD. Early-bird pricing ran through June 30, with full price beginning July 1.

MultiGP's 2026 Canada Regional Series began March 1 with 5 approved races and 29 pilots already in the mix. The series runs through July 15 for Regional Qualifier racing, then shifts into Regional Finals from August 1 through September 1, with 48 pilots from a region invited to each final and the winner advancing to the MultiGP Championship. The Canada Regional Finals are listed for August 3 in Fonthill.

The inaugural MultiGP Canadian Drone Racing Series finished in Ottawa, Ontario, in 2018, when qualifying used fastest three consecutive laps and the championship ran a Top 32 double-elimination bracket. Eli “Bull-Fpv” Abitbol won that title, with Liam “LOLDERS” Olders second and Gabriel “Gab707” Kocher third.

The town is home to Canada’s first permanent MAAC-sanctioned FPV multirotor field, operated by Niagara FPV Squad, the country’s only Tier 1 MultiGP chapter and a mentor to four other chapters.
