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]

Marc Márquez (pictured in 2025) is the defending MotoGP World Riders' Champion.

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]
