MotoGP Portugal 2026: TV times, schedule and where to watch the GP

The MotoGP World Championship arrives at the GP Portugal with 20 races already in the books out of 22. Marc Marquez leads on 431 points, Jorge Martin follows 60 points back and Marco Bezzecchi is third at 74. There are still 74 points on the table, with a maximum of 37 this weekend: the maths says Marquez can already seal it at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, if he leaves Portugal with more than 37 points in hand over every rival.

Moto2 is also entering its hottest phase. Manuel Gonzalez leads the standings with 286,5 points, Izan Guevara is 13,5 behind and there are still 50 points available here, with 25 the maximum over the Portuguese weekend. Gonzalez can become champion already in Portugal if he finishes with more than 25 points in hand over everyone. In Moto3, meanwhile, the verdict has already arrived: Maximo Quiles is mathematically champion with 392 points, ahead of David Almansa on 139.

The build-up comes after Qatar, where Marc Marquez stretched his lead in the Sprint and Bagnaia was ruled out of Sunday's GP with two fractures in his right foot. So in Portugal it starts again with two titles still on the line and one already awarded, while the weekend can bring another step forward in the race for the MotoGP World Championship and a possible turning point too in Moto2.

The circuit: Autódromo Internacional do Algarve

The stage is the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve. In 2025 the Portuguese GP was held here on 9 November, with Marco Bezzecchi winning in MotoGP, Diogo Moreira in Moto2 and Máximo Quiles in Moto3. It is the circuit that hosts the Portuguese round of the World Championship.

Standings and other news

After this weekend there will be just one left and Sunday at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve can either settle the MotoGP World Championship or postpone it again. In any case, Portugal brings a heavy build-up and a day that is worth far more than a simple calendar stop.
