EVENT INFO: 

The 2026 MotoGP™ Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Qatar is set to deliver an unforgettable spectacle for motorsport enthusiasts across the region and beyond.

Constructed in 2004, the Lusail International Circuit (LIC) made its debut the same year by hosting the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix, marking the nation’s historic entry into the MotoGP World Championship.

Since 2008, the Qatar Grand Prix has become one of the most visually striking events on the MotoGP calendar, distinguished by its pioneering nighttime racing format. To this day, Lusail International Circuit remains the only circuit on the calendar to host races entirely under floodlights.

The seamless blend of state-of-the-art facilities and the circuit’s iconic illumination creates a breathtaking atmosphere, transforming each race into a world-class spectacle and cementing Lusail’s status as a true hallmark of the MotoGP championship.

Exciting Rider Changes Set to Electrify the Grid: 

The 2026 grid is fully confirmed after one of the most unpredictable contract periods in recent years, where Diogo Moreira was announced to join IDEMITSU Honda LCR, completing an exciting line up of 22 riders. With Ducati’s powerhouse pairing of Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez locked in, and rising stars like Pedro Acosta and Fermin Aldeguer ready to impress, the 2026 MotoGP™ grid blends proven champions with exciting new contenders. 

The 2026 MotoGP™ season is set to deliver another thrilling chapter, with 22 rounds, world-class riders and major stories on and off the track. The event promises high speed, close battles and unforgettable moments under Lusail International Circuit’s lights.
