A complete 2026 MXGP World Championship calendar has now been finalised, inclusive of 19 rounds that will commence with Argentina’s season-opener next month and finish with the Australian GP in September.

Provisionally 20 rounds, the sixth event scheduled for April 26 – the weekend after the MXGP of Trentino – has been removed, with more than a month now in between the Italian and French rounds.

Bariloche opens the new season on March 8, followed by Spain’s Almonte round on March 22. The MXGP of Switzerland in Frauenfeld is on March 29, as Italian venue Riola Sardo (Sardegna) and Pietramurata (Trentino) are back-to-back on April 12 and 19.

A break in the fixture sees the French round (Lacapelle Marival) staged on May 24, before moving on to Teutschenthal in Germany a week later on May 31. The series then heads to Kegums, Latvia, on June 7, ahead of a return to Montevarchi, Italy, for round nine on June 21.

Agueda, Portugal, features next on June 28, before a quick turnaround to Johannesburg for the MXGP of South Africa on July 5. From there, Foxhills in Great Britain hosts the next stop on July 19, directly followed by Loket in the Czech Republic on July 26.

Europe’s stretch of the calendar wraps up at Lommel on August 2, followed by Uddevalla in Sweden two weeks later on August 16, before Arnhem in the Netherlands brings the continental phase to a close on August 23, ahead of the series’ annual flyaway races.

That international run includes Turkiye at Afyonkarahisar on September 6, followed by a visit to Shanghai, China, on September 13, before the season concludes for the second year in a row at Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory on September 20.

In addition, the 2026 Women’s Motocross World Championship (WMX) will feature at five rounds, beginning in France and continuing through Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands, before once again concluding at the MXGP of Australia.
