Although the usual thing is to know it in September, this time we already know the MotoGP 2026 calendar. In addition, a provisional calendar has not been presented but already the definitive one, so we already know all the details that (if there are no unforeseen events), will have a calendar for 22 race weekends but with important changes.
The first of the fundamental changes that we find with respect to the 2025 calendar, is that Argentina disappears from it and gives way to the GP of Brazil, which returns after several decades of absence. Although, yes, in Goiana (the same place where Sito Pons achieved its first world title).
As happened this year, the MotoGP 2026 calendar confirms Thailand as the first race of the year, while Valencia continues to host the last GP. In addition to Brazil, we have the great habitual awards with Jerez as a fifth appointment of the year and first European.
In addition, European quotes are “replaced” with a curious movement and that is that after Jerez the GP of France arrives, to return to Spain for the GP of Catalonia and then, march to Italy before the “tour” began by central Europe, but without Austria, which is delayed until the end of September as the last test before the Asian tour. Before that, Motorland, the third of the house GP, will be played at the end of August.
It also attracts attention that, as has happened this year, we will have several “doubles” but no “triplet”, giving rest to pilots and teams at the most critical moment of the year that is when it happened. It also changes position in the Portimao calendar, with the Portugal GP being the penultimate race of the year to finish, as we said, in Cheste on November 22.
