It’s almost time for the world’s most iconic road racing event: The Isle of Man TT. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the 2026 edition.
The Isle of Man TT is one of the world’s most iconic road racing events, set on the picturesque island in the Irish Sea on the challenging 37.73-mile Snaefell Mountain Course.
More than 100 riders compete across six days in four classes of motorcycles, with the event happening from May 25 to June 6 this year.
The history of the Isle of Man TT dates back to 1907, with the course starting at the main grandstand on Glencrutchery Road in Douglas and winding through various villages before heading out onto the mountain.
Riders at the TT race against the clock rather than each other, departing at 10-second intervals aiming for the quickest time across the lap to win.
Five classes of motorcycles participate in the TT races, including Superbike, Supersport, Superstock, Sportbike, and Sidecar, each with different engine sizes and specifications.
To watch all the action, the best way is to get TT+’s Live Pass, the official platform that streams all the races and events live.
