Season overview: rounds and selected circuits
The 2026 calendar features a mix of classic European tracks, new venues and iconic international circuits. Kicking off the campaign, Round 1 takes place at the Chang International Circuit in Thailand (27 February – 1 March 2026). Round 2 heads to Brazil at the Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia – Ayrton Senna, followed by Round 3 at the Circuit of The Americas in the United States. Early European legs include Round 4 at Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto in Spain and later stopovers at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya (Round 6) and Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello (Round 7).
Mid-season and the run to the title feature additional highlights such as Round 8 at Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary, the historic TT Circuit Assen (Round 10), and the British classic Silverstone Circuit (Round 12). Rounds later in the season include the seaside Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli (Round 14), Austria’s Red Bull Ring (Round 15), Japan’s Mobility Resort Motegi (Round 16) and Indonesia’s Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit (Round 17). Near the end of the championship the series returns to Malaysia at the Sepang International Circuit for Round 19 (30 October – 1 November 2026), then closes with stops including Lusail International Circuit in Qatar, Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portugal, and Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain.
Fan experiences at selected events
Organizers design race weekends to be more than a set of on-track sessions. At the United States Grand Prix fans can activate Circuit Mode in the MotoGP App, which supplies Fanzone updates, schedules and free live timing — a useful tool for following practice, qualifying and races in real time. The paddock and support areas typically contain interactive displays, maker showcases and stunt arenas that extend the spectacle beyond the racetrack.
Demonstrations, custom builds and demo rides
If you arrive on Friday you can expect a full day of two-wheeled culture: a hand-built motorcycle showcase featuring around 200 custom machines and free demo rides available in the support paddock. These activities are designed so enthusiasts can examine craftsmanship and even test models they fancy, turning a race weekend into a practical shopping and inspiration opportunity as well as entertainment.
Stunt shows and family activities
Spectator entertainment often includes high-energy displays such as FMX stunt shows and the historic Wall of Death. At COTA, FMX demonstrations run from approximately 08:45 with multiple shows during the day, and Wall of Death exhibitions are scheduled hourly on Friday. Families will find dedicated programs too: interactive motorcycle displays, children’s ride sessions on Friday, and an amusement-style MGS Plaza featuring karting, minigolf and a small roller coaster to keep younger guests engaged.
Hospitality, access and travel packages
For corporate guests and fans seeking a premium experience, the official MotoGP VIP Village™ offers air-conditioned suites, elevated viewing positions and catered service including breakfast, gourmet lunch and afternoon canapés. These packages frequently include exclusive paddock and pit lane tours that grant close-up access to the teams and garage areas — a rare behind-the-scenes perspective that many visitors prioritize when planning a race weekend.
Booking and bespoke travel options
Travel organizers and official agents can assemble bespoke packages that combine tickets, hospitality and local arrangements. If you need assistance or want to inquire about tailored itineraries, contact points listed by official partners can help; for example some agencies provide a toll-free line at 1-855-365-MOTO to discuss VIP Village access and travel planning. Whether you opt for general admission or a fully curated VIP experience, advance planning will maximize your trackside enjoyment and minimize logistical surprises.
In short, the 2026 season blends hard racing with accessible fan programming and structured hospitality. Use this guide to match the circuits you want to visit with the type of experience you desire — from paddock exploration and stunt shows to high-end hospitality — and arrive prepared to enjoy the full breadth of what motogp race weekends offer.
