The provisional 2026 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship calendar has been revealed with 12 rounds scheduled for the fastest production-based racing Championship in the world. Several tracks featuring on the calendar have revised dates compared to this year’s calendar, with Balaton Park and Aragon featuring earlier while Cremona moves back to a September date.
The season begins at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Australia for WorldSBK and WorldSSP on the 20th-22nd February, with an Official Test taking place on the 16th and 17th just before. Then, it’s back to Europe for the Portuguese Round at the stunning Portimao venue – which will also be the racing debut for the new WorldSPB class – on the 27th-29th March. Assen retains its traditional April date on the 17th-19th April for Round 3 of the 2026 season.
After making its debut in July on the 2025 schedule, the Balaton Park Circuit has a new date for WorldSBK’s second visit, taking place on the 1st-3rd May. The Autodrom Most takes place two weeks later, from the 15th-17th May, while MotorLand Aragon is the halfway stage of the 2026 season, taking place on the 29th-31st May.
After Spain, the paddock travels to the historic Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” for Round 7 on the 12th-14th June. After that, Donington Park welcomes WorldSBK and WorldSSP on the 10th-12 July before the summer break.
The Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours retains its now traditional early September date, hosting Round 9 on the 4th-6th September. Two weeks later, the paddock travels to Italy for the third visit to the Cremona Circuit on the 25th-27th September.
