The full qualifying and race schedule for the 2026 Isle of Man TT, as well as how to watch
The 2026 Isle of Man TT begins on Monday 25 May and runs until Saturday 6 June.
This year’s Isle of Man TT marks the 30th anniversary of John McGuinness’ debut at the event.
The veteran racer will compete in the Superbike and Superstock races with Honda this year, setting off at No.1 on the road.
There were meant to be 10 races in total across the event, with two Superbike, two Superstock, two Supersport, two Sportsbike and two Sidecar contests scheduled.
However, the Sidecar class has been suspended for the remainder of the 2026 event following two serious incidents in practice week.
Sportsbike is a new-for-2026 class and replaces the Supertwin class. While Supertwin machinery will still be eligible, the regulations have been opened out to allow a greater selection of bikes.
Practice week begins on Monday 25 May, with racing beginning on Saturday 30 May.
