2026 MotoGP British Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

MotoGP travels to Silverstone on 7-9 August for the 12th round of the season. Here's the full schedule for the 2026 British Grand Prix.

MotoGP returns to action after a three-week summer break, with the British Grand Prix marking the start of the second half of the season.

Aprilia's Jorge Martin heads to Silverstone as the championship leader. but with only 24 points seperating the top three runners, he may not remain at the top of the standings come the end of the weekend.

Aprilia and Ducati are again expected to be duke it out for victory. While Marco Bezzecchi won at Silverstone last year, he has conceded his chances of a repeat result, having not fully recovered from the collarbone injury he sustained at the Sachsenring last month.
