The 2026 MotoGP calendar has officially been released and the new season will feature a total of 22-race weekends running from February to November.
Most significantly, the sport returns to Brazil in 2026 at the Goiania track, replacing Argentina before a switch to the Buenos Aires track in 2027.
MotoGP kicks off the new season in Thailand once again, before back-to-back races in South and North America.
Qatar will host round four once again, before the long European leg starting in Jerez and ending in Austria.
Silverstone will revert back to its August slot after it was brought forward to May this year, and notably Catalunya and Mugello are earlier than usual.
The flyaways kicks off in Japan at Motegi, which recently extended its contract through to 2030, before races at Indonesia, Australia and Malaysia.
To end the season, the sport returns to Europe for a double header at Portimao and Valencia, with the latter returning after torrid flooding surrounded the area last year.
