2026 MotoGP World Championship

78th running of the MotoGP World Championship From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2026 FIM MotoGP World Championship is the premier class of the 78th Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Road Racing World Championship season, the highest level of competition in motorcycle road racing. It is the final season of the premier class using 1000cc engines and Michelin series-specified tyres, before switching to new 850cc engine regulations and tyres sourced from Pirelli, among other technical changes, from the 2027 season onwards.[1][2]

Marco Bezzecchi (pictured in 2025) is the current championship leader.

MotoGP introduced a new racing class starting in the 2026 season, the "Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup", featuring bagger-style motorcycles modified for racing, competing in six selected rounds of the MotoGP calendar across Europe and North America.[3][4]

All teams will use series-specified Michelin tyres.[38]

Manufacturer changes

  • Both Yamaha teams will utilize the V4 version of their engine from 2026 for the first time in the MotoGP era as the YZR-M1 had been an inline-four specification since 2002.[39]

Rider changes

Mid-season changes

  • Fermín Aldeguer suffered a fractured femur during training and missed the first round in Thailand. He was replaced by Michele Pirro.[19]
  • After being declared not fully fit following surgery to remove screws from his shoulder, which has been suffering from ongoing injury since last year, Maverick Viñales was replaced by Jonas Folger at the French round.[32]
  • Álex Márquez suffered a broken collarbone and vertebra after an accident in Catalonia. He was replaced by Michele Pirro in Italy and then by Iker Lecuona in Hungary.
  • Johann Zarco suffered injuries to the ligaments, meniscus and fibula of his left leg following an accident in Catalonia. He was replaced by Cal Crutchlow in Italy and Hungary.

Rule changes

Engine specification will be frozen for this season. For factories in concession Rank D, the engine specification freeze will not apply unless they change rank.[42]
