WorldSBK – Aragón (Spain) – 2026

Superbike World Championship Returns to Aragón

Round six of the 2026 FIM Superbike World Championship brings the paddock to Alcañiz in northeastern Spain at the end of May, where MotorLand Aragón serves as the midpoint of the season. The 5.077-kilometre circuit with its 17 corners – ten left-handers and seven right-handers – has been a fixture on the WorldSBK calendar since 2011 and has established itself as one of the championship’s most demanding venues.

Designed by renowned circuit architect Hermann Tilke, the facility set against the barren landscape of Teruel province offers excellent overtaking opportunities along its 968-metre back straight while simultaneously demanding absolute precision through tight, technical sections. The combination of high-speed passages and slow hairpins puts both rider and machine to the ultimate test.

Circuit and Statistics

MotorLand Aragón opened in 2009 and hosts both the Superbike World Championship and MotoGP. In WorldSBK, the circuit has been the stage for epic battles – Jonathan Rea set an impressive lap record of 1:47.973 here in 2023, which was subsequently beaten by Nicolò Bulega in 2025. Top speeds on the long back straight exceed 300 km/h.

Aragón as a Travel Destination

The town of Alcañiz with its medieval old quarter and impressive Parador castle provides a charming contrast to the modern motorsport complex. The Bajo Aragón region is renowned for its olive oil production and dramatic semi-desert landscape. Teruel itself, located around 150 kilometres south of Zaragoza, attracts visitors with its Mudéjar architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The nearest airport is Zaragoza (approx. 180 km), with Valencia (approx. 300 km) as an alternative.
