WELCOME to WorldSBK

Staged over twelve rounds in nine countries across two continents, the 2026 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship will push riders, their machines and their teams to the absolute limit over eight incredibly intensive months.
After making it back-to-back titles in 2025 to add to the crown he first won in 2021, Turkish hero Toprak Razgatlioglu became just the fourth rider in the sport’ s history to win three or more titles and having made another entry into the discipline’ s record books he has now switched his focus to MotoGP.
This means we will have a new champion and the contenders from eight nations and four continents – led by Italy’ s Nicolò Bulega who last year pushed Razgatlioglu all the way to the final round – lining up to fight for the crown with real strength in depth in an entry that also includes Spain’ s two-time champion Álvaro Bautista.
On behalf of the FIM I would like to thank all who make the championship possible including our promoter Dorna WSBK Organisation, the national federations and local organisers, FIM officials, the riders and teams, the manufacturers, volunteers, the media, all associated partners and sponsors and fans.

Realizado ao longo de doze rondas em nove países e dois continentes, o Campeonato Mundial de Superbike MOTUL FIM 2026 desafiará os pilotos, as suas máquinas e as suas equipas até ao limite absoluto durante oito meses que se antevêm incrivelmente intensos.
Depois de conquistar títulos consecutivos em 2025, somando-se ao campeonato que conquistou pela primeira vez em 2021, o herói turco Toprak Razgatlioglu tornou-se apenas o quarto piloto na história do desporto a conquistar três ou mais títulos. Com essa conquista notável, ele agora mudou o seu foco para o MotoGP.
Isso significa que teremos um novo campeão e concorrentes de oito nações e quatro continentes a disputarem o título. A liderar este grupo estará o italiano Nicolò Bulega, que no ano passado desafiou Razgatlioglu pelo ceptro até à ronda final. A lista de participantes também inclui o bicampeão mundial, o espanhol Álvaro Bautista.
Em nome da FIM, gostaria de agradecer a todos os que tornam o campeonato possível, incluindo o nosso promotor“ Dorna WSBK Organisation”, as federações nacionais e os organizadores locais, os funcionários da FIM, os pilotos e equipas, os fabricantes, voluntários, a comunicação social, todos os parceiros e patrocinadores associados e os adeptos.

GREGORIO LAVILLA CHAMPIONSHIP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to the 2026 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship. Six manufacturers will once again compete in what will be a new era in terms of rider and team line-ups.
The number of manufacturers in WorldSSP has risen to eight, with the welcome addition of a second Chinese manufacturer.
Another new on-track element at most rounds will be the FIM Sportbike World Championship, with six manufacturers already represented in its first year of racing life.
The FIM Women’ s Circuit Racing World Championship has gone from strength to strength, and will again appear at selected rounds in Europe.
I want to offer my sincere thanks to all the competing manufacturers, teams and riders, plus our valued sponsors and partners for their continued relationships with WorldSBK. An equally high level of thanks goes out to the respective National and Local Governments, the FIM, all the host venues, marshals, volunteers and support staff for the vital roles they play during every single WorldSBK season.
