A new schedule and revised Supertwin class will come into effect from 2026
The Isle of Man TT organisers have announced major changes for the 2026 event, including adjustments to the schedule and the Supertwins class, along with confirming provisional dates for 2027 and 2028.
Despite weather challenges during the 2025 TT, it was the best attended in almost two decades, with 51,650 attendees, missing only the Senior TT finale.
In response to the success, the TT schedule has been revamped for 2026, with three rest days added and an increased number of qualifying sessions, enhancing preparation time for competitors.
The Sportbike TT will replace the Supertwin class in 2026, aligning with changes in other championships, while the Supersport class is moving towards Next Generation regulations globally.
Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson highlighted the importance of these modifications to ensure the event remains adaptable and resilient in the modern era.
