A total of 31 cars took part in the event, split across four classes. 6 were entered in DPi, 6 in LMP2, 8 in LMP3, and 11 in GTD. In LMP2, Will Stevens subbed for Louis Deletraz in the Tower Motorsport entry due to a clash with the European Le Mans Series round at Imola.

In GTD, Team Hardpoint was absent while Vasser Sullivan Racing added a second entry featuring Jack Hawksworth and Richard Heistand. NTE Sport withdrew from the event due to a lack of funding.

There were two practice sessions preceding the start of the race on Sunday; one on Friday and one on Saturday. The first session on Friday afternoon ran for 90 minutes while the second session on Saturday morning lasted 105 minutes.
Saturday's afternoon qualifying was broken into three sessions, with one session for the DPi and LMP2, LMP3, and GTD classes, which lasted for 15 minutes each, and a ten minute interval between the sessions. The rules dictated that all teams nominated a driver to qualify their cars, with the Pro-Am (LMP2/LMP3/GTD) classes requiring a Bronze/Silver Rated Driver to qualify the car. The competitors' fastest lap times determined the starting order. IMSA then arranged the grid to put DPis ahead of the LMP2, LMP3, and GTD cars.
Pole positions in each class are indicated in bold and by ‡.
