The 2026 MotoGP calendar is here! With 22 Grands Prix across five continents, the season runs from February to November to create a perfectly-paced year for the millions of fans watching around the world – and the riders battling it out on track.
Brazil is back as MotoGP returns to a key market, some established favourites move dates, summer break is the perfect pitstop pause – take a look at 2026!
Our much-anticipated return to Brazil puts MotoGP in one of the world’s biggest markets and work is already underway in Goiania to make it a true flagship event. The vibrant city of Goiania, capital of Goias, will welcome MotoGP for the second round of 2026 at the end of March before we head north to Austin, TX, and the USA!
From the night lights of Qatar at Lusail, Jerez welcomes us back to Europe with its incredible passion, and then France rolls out to compete with it as the Marseillaise makes your hair stand on end at Le Mans. Barcelona gives fans chance to make some Mediterranean memories in May, and then it’s the fabulous rolling hills of Tuscany for Mugello and the Italian GP. That’s a callback run of classics for long-time fans!
Meanwhile, some established favourites get a new date next year, including Austria. We head for the fabulous Red Bull Ring in September as the perfect send off before the flyaways, and Brno moves forward to June. The return of the Czech GP was much celebrated in 2025 and next season it will be preceded by our second visit to Balaton Park in Hungary.
Carlos Ezpeleta talks 2026: date changes, summer and a season launch teaser

Following our date with the Sachsenring in Germany, it’s time to recharge. A three-weekend summer break through mid-July and early August gives the paddock a good pause before the most exciting sport on Earth lands at fast, flowing, sensational Silverstone in the height of the British summer. Then, it’ll be time to enjoy two more weekends off in a schedule planned perfectly for both MotoGP fans and the paddock. From there we get back in gear at MotorLand Aragon on the 28th to the 30th of August for some late summer Spanish sun.
This part of the season looks familiar – it takes the same shape as 2025. First stop: Motegi, Japan from the 2nd to 4th of October, before we hop straight down to the beautiful island of Lombok for the Grand Prix of Indonesia less than a week later in Mandalika.
A weekend off then allows the paddock to get geared up for the exciting Australia-Malaysia double-header at the end of October. Will the championship showdowns go to the wire or will those rounds be decisive? Our date with the phenomenal Phillip Island precedes our pitstop in the dazzling capital of Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysian GP at Sepang.
Finally, the Algarve rollercoaster of Portimao and the vibrant amphitheatre of Valencia bring the curtain down on a stunning 2026 season of racing. More history is just around the apex – we call it the most exciting sport on Earth for a reason.
22 Grands Prix. Five continents. Take a tour through 2026!
