The Yorkshire Rally will be included on the 2015 European Rally Championship calendar.
The Harrogate-based October event will be joined on the 10-round schedule by the Circuit of Ireland.
While series officials insist the deal is not completed yet, the rally appears on a draft calendar that has been seen by AUTOSPORT.
The Yorkshire Rally will be mainland Britain's first ERC round under the Eurosport regime.
Eurosport's motorsport development director Francois Ribeiro said: "We expect the calendar for next year in a couple of days or maybe next week and while there is no final confirmation for Yorkshire yet, it is looking strong.
"With the Circuit of Ireland as well, it is looking very nice for the UK to have two from 10 rounds."
Yorkshire Rally organiser Colin Heppenstall told AUTOSPORT: "The finances aren't finalised yet, but we are working towards the European Rally Championship."
Yorkshire would run as a two-day event using the Dalby forest complex, once a mainstay of Britain's round of the World Rally Championship.
The current date on the provisional calendar is two weeks before Rally GB.
The Circuit of Ireland is set to remain in its Easter weekend slot for next season.
