After making its debut in July on the 2025 schedule, the Balaton Park Circuit has a new date for WorldSBK’s second visit, taking place on the 1^st-3^rd May. The Autodrom Most takes place two weeks later, from the 15^th-17^th May, while MotorLand Aragon is the halfway stage of the 2026 season, taking place on the 29^th-31^st May.
