2026 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix: Viewing Details and Session Schedule

2026 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix Overview

The MotoGP season heads to Losail for its 20th round, taking place from November 6 to 8, 2026. Marc Marquez from Ducati has a strong chance of securing the championship this weekend, holding a 44-point lead after his win at Sepang.

Despite regional geopolitical tensions, the race at Losail will proceed with assurances from the Qatari government ensuring the safety of riders and teams. However, Yamaha will not participate in this event due to company travel policies related to conflict areas, affecting both their factory and satellite team Pramac. Additionally, Jorge Martin’s presence depends on his recovery from a wrist injury sustained at Phillip Island two weeks ago.
