This is the kickoff release of WPILib for the 2026 season.
The documentation for WPILib is located at https://docs.wpilib.org/ (if you have trouble accessing this location, https://frcdocs.wpi.edu/en/stable/ is an alternate location with the same content).
If you're new to FRC, start with Getting Started.
System Requirements: WPILib requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 (Arm and 32-bit are not supported), Ubuntu 22.04 or later, or macOS 13.3 or later. C++ teams should note that the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 is required for desktop builds. Mac users will need to have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed before running the installer. This can be done by running xcode-select --install in the Terminal.
If you're returning from a previous season, check out what's new for 2026. You will need a new RoboRIO image for 2026; this is available via the FRC 2026 Game Tools. Follow the WPILib installation guide to install WPILib.
If you're starting from a 2025 robot project, you will need to import your project to create a 2026 project. The import process is important, as it will make a few automated corrections for some breaking changes that happened in 2026. It is also necessary to import vendor libraries again, since last year’s vendor libraries must be updated to be compatible with this year’s projects.
A complete list of known issues with this release can be found here.
WPILib is developed by a small team of volunteers and the FIRST community.
