The FIM announces the 2026 FIM Sidecar World Championship provisional calendar consisting of six rounds that will be held in conjunction with major international and national motorcycle events.
This is a press release from the FIM…
The first round will take place during the 24 Hours Moto in Le Mans, continuing the now-usual start of the Sidecar season as a support race at one of the world’s most famous circuits and events.
The second round will bring the sidecar paddock to the Adriatic coast at Grobnik Rijeka. For many years, this circuit has demonstrated its support and enthusiasm for sidecar racing. This round will take place concurrently with the Alpe Adria International Motorcycle Championship.
For the third round, the sidecar teams will head to the Pau-Arnos circuit in southwestern France. This will be the first time the FIM puts its wheels on this recently renovated and resurfaced track. The round will take place alongside the FSBK.
Cremona in Italy, having hosted a round of the FIM World Superbike Championship in recent years, will welcome the sidecar racers for the fourth round.
The final two rounds will, as in previous years, be combined with BSB at Assen in the Netherlands and the Sidecar Festival at Oschersleben in Germany, giving teams the opportunity to earn decisive points in the final stretch of the season.
