Isle of Man TT

From May 25 to June 6, 2026, the Isle of Man will once again be dominated by the Tourist Trophy. For two weeks, the world’s best road racing riders will compete on the legendary Mountain Course – a 60.7-kilometer circuit on public roads. Training, qualifying, and races will alternate, interrupted by scheduled rest days. The schedule is tight, but may be subject to change depending on weather and road conditions.

The first week is dedicated to getting to know the track and chasing times in qualifying. In addition to free practice sessions for newcomers, there are several qualifying sessions for Supersport, Sportbike, Superbike, Superstock, and Sidecar. Some races take place during the day, some in the evening. A rest day provides some breathing space in the program.

The races follow in the second week. On a total of six race days, the classes will start one after the other – from Supersport and Sportbike to Superstock and Sidecar, culminating in the Senior TT on Saturday. Rest days are also planned here. In addition, alternative times are available in case training or races have to be postponed due to weather conditions.

Spectating is free along many sections of the route, as these are public roads. Those who want fixed seats, infrastructure, and proximity to the start, finish, and pit lane can use the official grandstands around Glencrutchery Road. The island can be reached by ferry or plane, and accommodation should be booked well in advance, as demand is very high during the TT.
