The 2026 MotoGP calendar in full
The 2026 MotoGP season will consist of 22 rounds, with a new event in Brazil being the highlight on the calendar.
MotoGP revealed the 2026 calendar on July 24, 2025, featuring 22 rounds starting from February 27 to March 1 with the Thai Grand Prix and concluding on November 20-22 with the Valencia Grand Prix.
The Ayrton Senna circuit in Goiania will host the Brazilian Grand Prix, making it the country’s first motorcycle grand prix since 2004.
There will be eight back-to-back rounds in the season, but no triple-headers to lessen pressure on teams, following the removal of these from the 2025 calendar.
Notably, the Qatar Grand Prix in April will continue to be a night race, as it has been since 2008, while the British Grand Prix returns to its August slot, and Austria moves to September compared to the previous year.
Argentina won’t feature in the 2026 MotoGP calendar but is anticipated to return in 2027 at Buenos Aires.
