After teasing big plans on the horizon, Harley-Davidson and Dorna officially announced the birth of the new Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup series. The first event will kick off in Austin, Texas during the 2026 MotoGP season, at the Circuit of the Americas race weekend. After that, it'll head to Europe for five additional rounds to complete the inaugural season.
Now, I know you've probably got some questions. I did, too; the first of which was, this new Harley Bagger World Cup series will be in addition to the existing King of the Baggers series that currently runs alongside MotoAmerica in the States, right?
RideApart reached out to Harley directly to clarify, and a Harley representative confirmed that yes, the two series will remain independent in 2026. So don't worry, King of the Baggers fans; the series will be back on the calendar to enjoy next year, in addition to this new Bagger World Cup series.
