Now that the calendar is finalized, anticipation for the upcoming season is higher than ever. The 2026 championship promises to offer one of the strongest and most competitive fields in years, with intense battles from the very start.
MXGP Class: A Battle of Giants
In the MXGP class, fans will witness an extraordinary collection of champions, established names, and emerging talent. Riders such as Romain Febvre, Jeffrey Herlings, Tim Gajser, Maxime Renaux, Lucas Coenen, Tom Vialle, Kay de Wolf, and Andrea Adamo will be on the starting grid. Several of them will be sporting new colors, adding excitement and unpredictability to the title fight. The depth of talent in the premier class means that every Grand Prix can play a decisive role in the title hunt.
MX2 class: The hunt for the crown
The MX2 category promises to be equally exciting. Defending World Champion Simon Längenfelder begins his quest for a second title, while determined challengers like Liam Everts and Sacha Coenen are ready to fight for their first world title. The intensity and ambition of the MX2 field, featuring names like Mathis Valin, Camden McLellan, and the Reisulis brothers, guarantees that the next generation of stars will deliver spectacular racing throughout the season.
A season to look forward to
The upcoming battles promise to be exactly what motocross fans worldwide have been waiting for: the very best riders at their absolute peak, battling for the ultimate prize: the FIM Motocross World Championship title.
The 2026 season kicks off in Patagonia, in Bariloche, on March 7th and 8th during the YPF MXGP of Argentina. With 19 Grands Prix on the calendar and an exceptional field of competitors, MXGP 2026 promises to be a season to remember.
