Harley-Davidson and the Motorcycle World Championship have announced a major project. Specifically, the new Harley-Davidson championship series has been confirmed, which will compete over six MotoGP race weekends, uniting one of the most iconic brands in the world with the most exciting sport on the planet.

The debut is scheduled for 2026. This series will connect the passionate Harley-Davidson community in the United States with the most exciting sport in the world: MotoGP. The Championship will consist of twelve races and will take place over six Grand Prix events in Europe and North America, with riders competing on Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycles prepared for the track, in two races per round.

The grid is expected to be made up of between six and eight teams, each with two riders, all backed by Harley-Davidson Factory Racing. There is no doubt considerable anticipation to learn more about this championship that is taking shape.

This collaboration with Harley-Davidson represents an exciting opportunity for both parties. We offer a truly international platform for Harley-Davidson to expand its global presence, and Harley-Davidson is perfectly positioned to join us in the goal of bringing our sport to new audiences, partnering with one of the most iconic lifestyle brands in the United States. This alliance has great potential for our strategies and will deliver an authentic spectacle for fans, adding a completely new flavor to the Grand Prix weekends where the series will compete.
