The Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) is a motorsport series consisting of nine endurance races held on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, each hosted by a different ADAC club. Until 2020, it was known as the VLN Series.

Participants of NLS races range from amateurs in small road-legal cars with rollcages and harnesses to professional factory teams racing Group GT3 cars. The NLS series is closely associated with the Nürburgring 24 Hours, as for the most part it has similar rules, and mainly the same participants. In the calendar, several weeks around the 24h date in May/June are taken off to allow teams to prepare for the 24h, and to fix their cars afterwards. However, the 24h is no longer a part of the championship.

The championship is known for its large quantity of cars as well as its variety, with an average of 113 cars starting per race in 2023.
