2026 MotoGP calendar
The provisional 2026 MotoGP schedule, the first to be released under the imprimatur of new Dorna Sports owner Liberty Media (Colorado, USA) again includes 22 Grands Prix on five continents.
A highlight will be the return of the Brazil GP for the first time since Makoto Tomada’s win for Honda in 2004 - the new venue for the Brazilian race will be Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna at Goianai near Brasilia.
This will be the final season before the 1,000 cc formula (introduced in 2012) switches to 850 cc for 2027. The season opener is still slated for Thailand but an alternate city and venue to Bangkok is expected to be announced shortly.
The casualty for 2026 is the Indian GP, due to ongoing logistical and financial issues since its inaugural race in at the Buddh International Circuit in 2023.
Argentina's race at Termas de Rio Hondo also falls off the 2026 calendar, but it is expected to return in 2027 at a new location in Buenos Aires.
