2026 MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

After an extended four-week break, MotoGP returns to action on 24-26 April with the Spanish Grand Prix. Jerez also marks the first European round of the 2026 season, and is expected to be the biggest test so far for Aprilia after it won the opening three rounds across Asia and the Americas.

Gresini's Alex Marquez arrives at his home round as the reigning Spanish GP winner, but has already ruled out a repeat of his 2025 victory.

That makes Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi the outright favourite again, but Marc Marquez has now confirmed he is back to full fitness.
