The series created a Franchise System to give team owners enterprise value, awarding 10 charters total over the 2024 and 2025 seasons, with the first batch going to the top five full-time teams in the year-end points championship of 2024. The five that get awarded after the 2025 season will go to the highest finishing teams that didn't already have a franchise, based on their average year-end points totals from the 2024 and 2025 seasons. A pathway will be possible for up to five additional teams to enter the Franchise System over the 2026-27 seasons, creating up to 15 franchisees.[10] Media revenue distribution will then start in 2026. The chartered teams will get 50% of High Limit's digital streaming revenue annually. Under the terms of the system teams must compete in every race.[2]
