2026 BMW Motorrad Motorsport Guide.

Munich. Next weekend (20th to 22nd February), BMW Motorrad Motorsport will kick off an exciting 2026 season with the opening races of the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK). With its factory programmes in WorldSBK and the FIM Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC), as well as a strong customer racing programme, BMW Motorrad Motorsport is once again active around the globe this year. In this BMW Motorrad Motorsport Guide, we introduce you to the wider BMW Motorrad Motorsport family. Learn more about our factory and customer racing commitments, as well as the technical details of the BMW M 1000 RR.

In WorldSBK, the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team will compete with a strong new rider duo: Danilo Petrucci (ITA) and Miguel Oliveira (POR). The BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team is targeting the title in the FIM EWC. The three regular riders this season are Markus Reiterberger (GER), Steven Odendaal (RSA), and Michael van der Mark (NED), who moves from WorldSBK to the FIM EWC as a BMW works rider. Hannes Soomer (EST) will once again serve as the fourth rider. This year, we are further strengthening our globally successful BMW racing family in customer competition with BMW Motorrad Motorsport Official Teams in the USA, Great Britain, and Japan.

With this BMW Motorrad Motorsport Guide, we aim to get you in the mood for the new season. The PDF includes information on teams and riders from factory and customer racing, details on the various racing versions of the BMW M 1000 RR, as well as statements ahead of the season start.
