MotoGP tickets and circuit guide for the 2026 season — without hype
A guide to every MotoGP circuit, MotoGP Austin included. Bike racing is cheaper to attend than F1 almost everywhere, and the general-admission answer is completely different — because you can walk most of these circuits.

Known as "the Cathedral of Speed," Assen is the only circuit that has hosted a round of the world championship every year since 1949, bar a single gap in 2020. TT week turns the whole town into part of the event — campsites fill the surrounding fields, and Assen's own centre runs a fan programme alongside the on-track sessions, which is not something most circuits on this calendar can claim.
The eighteen-turn lap mixes fast, flowing sections with a distinctive final chicane on otherwise flat Dutch countryside, and De Bult — the natural amphitheatre banking opposite the main straight — is the grandstand most closely tied to the venue's "Cathedral" nickname. It is also, by most riders' own account, one of the best-loved circuits on the calendar for raw feel, in contrast to the stop-start layouts common at several newer venues.
Sepang hosts two Grands Prix in five weeks
A quirk worth knowing if you're travelling far. The reinstated F1 Bahrain Grand Prix runs at Sepang on 2–4 October, and the MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix follows on 1 November — same circuit, same grandstands, five weeks apart. Nobody else is pointing this out.
Why a MotoGP weekend reads differently from an F1 one
General admission does most of the work at a MotoGP round in a way it rarely does in F1. Bike racing circuits are usually walkable in a way car circuits are not — fences and run-off areas are shorter, so a general-admission hillside or grass bank can put you closer to genuine racing action than a mid-tier grandstand seat costs to buy. At several venues on this calendar, the cheapest ticket type is also a completely reasonable one to actually buy, not just the option you settle for when a grandstand sells out.
Shared venues make the contrast obvious rather than theoretical. At Lusail, F1 sells numbered seats in named zones while MotoGP and the World Endurance Championship sell the same physical areas as fully unreserved general admission — buy the wrong assumption and you show up expecting an allocated seat that was never part of the ticket. At the Red Bull Ring, MotoGP's own layout differs from F1's car configuration by a full safety chicane, which changes which grandstands actually face a corner worth watching. MotoGP Austin makes the same point from a different angle: the COTA MotoGP weekend shares a circuit with F1 but sells nothing alike, so buying MotoGP Austin tickets means reading the COTA MotoGP page directly rather than carrying over an F1 seating plan — good practice when buying MotoGP tickets this 2026 season and every 2026 season round after it. Two championships, one circuit, genuinely different weekends — which is exactly why every shared venue gets its own guide here rather than a shared page with a footnote.
What actually changes when you buy a MotoGP ticket instead of an F1 one
The four-tier structure covered on where to buy safely — official, authorised agent, resale marketplace, private sale — applies exactly the same way to a MotoGP ticket as it does to F1. What differs is the shape of demand. Fewer MotoGP rounds sell out entirely, which means the resale premiums and private-sale scams that cluster around a sold-out F1 grandstand are a smaller risk here — but at the handful of rounds that genuinely do sell out, Sachsenring and Assen among them, the same buying-safely advice applies with just as much force.
Ticket tiers also read differently. Where F1 grandstands are frequently split into several numbered price bands at the same venue, several MotoGP circuits sell one general-admission price that covers most of the natural terrain around the lap, with named grandstands as the smaller, pricier exception rather than the default. Reading a circuit's own ticket page before assuming an F1-style tier structure is worth doing every time.
Timing differs too. Several MotoGP rounds share a circuit with an F1 weekend held weeks or months apart in the same calendar year — Sepang and the Red Bull Ring both do — and the two events' on-sale dates are entirely independent of each other. A ticket page showing no MotoGP availability yet does not mean the round itself is in doubt; it usually just means that weekend's sales have not opened, regardless of what the F1 side of the same venue is doing.
