MotoAmerica Calendar 2026

The MotoAmerica Calendar 2026 is locked and loaded—and it’s not just another season. This year marks the 50th anniversary of AMA Superbike racing in the United States, and MotoAmerica is pulling out all the stops to celebrate five decades of two-wheeled thunder. From the historic first AMA Superbike race at Daytona International Speedway in 1976 to today’s high-tech, high-stakes championship battles, the series has evolved into North America’s premier motorcycle road racing showcase. And in 2026, it’s going bigger than ever.

Starting in April at Road Atlanta and wrapping up in late September at New Jersey Motorsports Park, the MotoAmerica Calendar 2026 features nine rounds and 20 races for the Superbike class alone. This milestone season also marks the return of tripleheader weekends at VIRginia International Raceway and New Jersey, ensuring fans get even more throttle-twisting action. Add in Daytona’s Daytona 200 as the points-paying kickoff to the Motovation Supersport series, and you’ve got a full-throttle tribute to American racing heritage.

MotoAmerica Calendar 2026 Brings All the Classes to the Fight

The main thread of the MotoAmerica Calendar 2026 is its premier classes: Superbike and Motovation Supersport. Every round on the calendar will feature these top-tier competitions, promising fans elite-level showdowns at each stop. The Superbike grid will also include the Superbike Cup—offering privateers a chance to battle it out under the spotlight.

In a historic twist, the 2026 Daytona 200 returns to its roots as a points-paying round in the Supersport championship. This brings renewed meaning to “The Great American Motorcycle Race” as the opening salvo in a 19-race season, solidifying its importance in the modern era.

The sophomore season of the Parts Unlimited Talent Cup by Motul offers a proving ground for the sport’s next generation, with 16 races scheduled—including a high-profile kickoff at Circuit of The Americas during MotoGP weekend in March. These future stars will contest every Superbike round, except for Road America and Mid-Ohio.

The Mission King Of The Baggers championship continues to flex its popularity, returning with a robust 14-race season featuring doubleheaders at standout venues like Daytona, Road Atlanta, and Laguna Seca. The Mission Super Hooligan National Championship will join the party at six rounds, adding its blend of gritty, stripped-down Americana racing to the mix.

The SC-Project Twins Cup, known for its nail-bitingly close finishes, returns for 14 races across seven events, starting in Daytona and capping at NJMP. Meanwhile, the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. series remains a fan-favorite, with its own eight-race schedule soon to be revealed—continuing to elevate women in motorcycling through competition and mentorship.

What’s New in the MotoAmerica Calendar 2026?

Several key updates set the MotoAmerica Calendar 2026 apart from last year. First and foremost is the inclusion of the Daytona 200 as a fully integrated points-paying race in the Motovation Supersport Championship. This move not only connects the past and future of AMA racing but also adds strategic weight to one of the most iconic races in the world.

Another major shift is the expansion of tripleheader weekends in the Superbike class. VIR and NJMP will now host three premier-class races each, injecting extra intensity into championship standings and fan excitement.

The Baggers and Hooligans continue their parallel rise, with more races and more doubleheader weekends than ever before. And as MotoAmerica continues to lean into youth development, the Talent Cup’s increased exposure offers a clearer path from amateur status to professional excellence.

While the overall number of rounds remains the same as 2025, the schedule’s depth—spanning from March’s Daytona opener to September’s NJMP finale—ensures that the MotoAmerica Calendar 2026 offers more variety, accessibility, and excitement than ever before.
