2026 Hungary MotoGP: How to watch and the full weekend schedule

The 2026 MotoGP season continues with its eighth round, which sees the championship return to Balaton Park for the Hungarian Grand Prix. 

The Hungarian Grand Prix made its long-awaited return to the MotoGP schedule last year at the new Balaton Park venue. 

Ducati and Marc Marquez swept to victory in both races, as the Spaniard continued his march towards his seventh world title. 

A repeat of that will be difficult in 2026, as Marquez continues to recover from surgery on his right shoulder, having returned to action last weekend at the Italian Grand Prix. 

Marco Bezzecchi was on the podium at Balaton Park last year and comes to Hungary as the championship leader, following a win at Mugello.

He leads Aprilia team-mate Jorge Martin by 17 points after the Italian Grand Prix, though the latter will be a thorn in his side at Balaton Park having finished fourth from 18th on the grid last year. 

Alex Marquez will be absent once again as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a crash at the Catalan Grand Prix, with Johann Zarco also out for the same reason.

When is the 2026 Hungary MotoGP?

The 2026 Spanish Grand Prix will take place from Friday 5 June to Sunday 7 June.

Two practice sessions will be held on Friday, followed by FP2 on Saturday, as well as qualifying and the sprint, with the grand prix on Sunday.
