2026 MotoGP Hungarian Grand Prix

2026 MotoGP Hungarian Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

Following its debut in 2025, the Balaton Park Circuit returns this weekend as the venue for MotoGP's Hungarian Grand Prix.

Ducati's Marc Marquez dominated the inaugural race near the famous Balaton Lake last year, converting his pole position into a double win. However, with the factory Ducati rider still recovering from a shoulder injury, he has completely ruled out the possibility of a repeat result.

Aprilia is expected to be the team to be at in Hungary, but Ducati could also stand a chance at the tight and twisty circuit.

The track's layout remains completely unchanged compared to last season, although the gravel trap has been expanded around the first chicane after some riders expressed concerns over safety.
