MotoGP will return to Brazil in 2026 as Goiania hosts the second round of the campaign, replacing neighbouring Argentina and the Termas de Rio Hondo on the calendar.
Visits to Austin and Doha follow before MotoGP ventures to Europe for 12 consecutive races, starting with the Spanish Grand Prix in April at Jerez and concluding with the Austrian Grand Prix in September at the Red Bull Ring.
The British Grand Prix returns to its traditional slot in August at the height of summer after previously being relocated to May for the 2025 season, while races in Hungary and Czechia have both been brought forward.
MotoGP then travels across to Asia for the Japanese Grand Prix and Indonesian Grand Prix prior to the Australia-Malaysia double header.
The final two stops on the reshaped calendar sees the season conclude in the Iberian Peninsula with the Algarve hosting the penultimate round before the classic curtain closer returns to Valencia.
