Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup Gears Up for Historic 2026 Debut with Expanded Grid, Confirmed Race Format, and Ticket Sales Now Open

Harley-Davidson, in partnership with MotoGP™, has announced key milestones for the inaugural 2026 season of the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup, as momentum builds toward its global debut. The provisional grid continues to expand, the official weekend schedule format has been confirmed, and dedicated ticket packages are now on sale for all six championship rounds. Set to run as a premier support series on select MotoGP™ weekends across North America and Europe, the Bagger World Cup marks the world’s first global racing championship dedicated exclusively to high-performance Harley-Davidson bagger motorcycles.

The provisional entry list has grown with the addition of Niti Racing from Indonesia, joining Saddlemen Race Development (USA), Cecchini Racing Garage (Italy), and Joe Rascal Racing (Australia). Niti Racing becomes Indonesia’s first team to compete on the MotoGP™ stage, bringing a strong national racing foundation and a bold new identity to the series. Further strengthening the grid, Joe Rascal Racing has been approved to expand its entry from two to three riders, bringing the provisional total to four teams and nine riders, with additional teams currently in discussion and a provisional rider lineup to be announced in the coming weeks.

Harley-Davidson and MotoGP™ have also confirmed the provisional weekend schedule format for 2026. Most rounds will follow a three-day race weekend, while the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello will feature a modified two-day race format to align with local event programming and fan engagement opportunities. This structure ensures strong on-track action while integrating seamlessly into the MotoGP™ race weekend experience.

Dedicated Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup ticket packages are now available for all six events, offering fans premium access and exclusive experiences throughout the season. Packages include access to a Harley-Davidson branded grandstand, paddock and team garage access, dedicated motorcycle parking, select gear storage, a Harley-Davidson Fan Pack, and entry to the MotoGP™ and Harley-Davidson Fan Zone. With limited availability, fans are encouraged to secure tickets early and be part of this historic first season.
