The 2025 MotoGP season has just 2 races remaining, and with Marc Marquez looking like he will be the World Champion, it might be time to look ahead to 2026. We are going to look at several different things for next season, but keep in mind that things can change, so be sure to keep track of any off-season changes or headlines that might render what we are talking about here as moot.
Changes for the 2026 Season
There are definitely going to be some changes for the 2026 season, starting with the schedule expanding to 22 races. The opener will take place in Thailand on February 27, so there is not a huge gap between the end of this season and the start of the next. MotoGP will return to Brazil for the first time since 2004, and we will see a month-long break in the summer, which could potentially derail riders who are on a hot run of form, so keep that in mind when you are wagering on the later MotoGP races in 2026.
The Battle for the 2026 World Championship
After a couple of seasons with injury issues, Marc Marquez was fully fit and back to his legendary best in 2025. He will almost certainly head into 2026 as the prohibitive favorite, while also having what appears to be the strongest team. He and Francesco Bagnaia have taken turns winning World Championships in recent years, so expect Ducati Lenovo to once again be the team to beat.
Other contenders to consider, outside of the Ducati pairing, include Alex Marquez, who gave the champion all he could handle throughout the season. He should be good again, and I would also keep an eye on Pedro Acosta. The young man had a spectacular rookie season and is currently sitting 5th at the time of writing. He may still be a year or two away from a World Championship, but if he can improve on what he did this season, expect to see him move further up the rankings.
Potential Winners of the Constructors Title
We briefly touched on this in the previous section when talking about Marquez and Bagnaia and what they are doing with the Ducati Lenovo team. There has, though, been a freeze on engine specs for the upcoming season, which may allow other teams to close the gap and make the race for the constructor’s title much closer.
So, with that in mind, who else could be in the picture? Aprilla, comprised of Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi, could give Ducati a push, while KTM could also be a factor, assuming that Pedro Acosta is able to build on his spectacular rookie season. His teammate, Brad Binder, will need to up his game if this team is to make a serious push for the title. It is, though, hard to imagine any team getting close to Ducati, so this looks like a bit of a slam dunk pick for me.
