Moto2 and Moto3 calendars
As part of the wider 2026 MotoGP calendar, both Moto2 and Moto3 are scheduled to run alongside MotoGP at the same circuits and on the same race weekends throughout the 2026 season.
This alignment allows fans to follow the full Grand Prix ladder across each event, with Moto2 and Moto3 providing some of the closest and most competitive racing on the calendar.
MotoE championship to go on hiatus after 2025
While the 2026 MotoGP calendar confirms full schedules for MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3, the electric category will not be part of the 2026 season. The FIM MotoE World Championship will officially go on hiatus at the end of the 2025 campaign.
The decision follows an agreement between the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and Dorna Sports, who jointly oversee the MotoE category. As a result, MotoE will not feature on the 2026 MotoGP calendar, and no race dates or venues have been scheduled for the season.
MotoE was introduced to showcase electric motorcycle racing at Grand Prix level, primarily running alongside selected European rounds. While the championship has delivered competitive racing and technological development, organisers have opted to pause the series as they reassess the future direction of electric racing within the MotoGP framework.
At this stage, no official timeline has been announced for MotoE’s return beyond 2025.
