As MotoAmerica gears up for its biggest and most historic season yet, 2026 promises massive stakes for fans of King of the Baggers and the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship. With expanded race calendars, iconic venues, and the celebration of the 50th anniversary of AMA Superbike racing, next season is shaping up to be a defining moment for American motorcycle competition.

MotoAmerica announced a nine-round, 20-race Superbike Championship stretching from mid-April at Road Atlanta to a season finale in late September at New Jersey Motorsports Park. While Superbikes anchor every round, V-twin faithful can expect even more action-packed racing thanks to the full return of Mission King of the Baggers and Super Hooligans, both of which will run heavy schedules across some of the most legendary tracks in America.

The 2026 calendar lands in a milestone year—the 50th anniversary of the first official AMA Superbike race, held at Daytona in 1976 when Reg Pridmore claimed victory on a BMW R90S. MotoAmerica plans to honor this heritage all season long, adding even more energy to an already electric paddock.

King of the Baggers: 14 Races, More Venues, More Chaos

The Mission King of the Baggers series continues its climb as one of the fastest-growing motorsports in North America, and MotoAmerica has delivered its biggest schedule yet—14 total races, all doubleheaders:

• Daytona International Speedway
• Road Atlanta
• Road America
• WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca
• Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
• Circuit of The Americas
• New Jersey Motorsports Park

Factory-backed Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle teams are expected to bring even more power, more data, and more aggressive development into 2026. With championship drama routinely going down to the final race, fans can expect battles that define the next generation of V-twin performance racing.

Super Hooligans: Six Rounds of Pure Mayhem

The Mission Super Hooligan National Championship, long known as MotoAmerica’s rowdiest, most unpredictable race series, joins the Baggers at six major rounds:

• Daytona International Speedway
• Barber Motorsports Park
• Ridge Motorsports Park
• WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca
• Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
• VIRginia International Raceway

With big V-twins drifting and banging bars at triple-digit speeds, Super Hooligans remain one of the most thrilling shows in American racing—and 2026’s alignment with Baggers ensures packed weekends and bigger crowds.

MotoAmerica adds even more depth with revised classes and expanded race counts:

• Supersport returns as a 19-race championship, now including the Daytona 200 as its official season opener.
• Parts Unlimited Talent Cup by Motul enters its sophomore year with 16 races, kicking off March 27–29 at Circuit of The Americas during the MotoGP weekend.
• Twins Cup goes wheel-to-wheel across 14 rounds, starting at Daytona.
• Royal Enfield Build. Train. Race. returns with an eight-race women’s championship (schedule TBA).

“This has been our best season to date,” said MotoAmerica COO Chuck Aksland. “The racing has been outstanding, and we can’t wait to see even more fans join us in 2026. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of AMA Superbike racing will make it a season to remember.”

For fans of American V-twin performance culture—especially the booming Bagger and Super Hooligan scenes—2026 will deliver more races, more rivalries, and more edge-of-your-seat action than ever before. Buckle up. It’s going to be a wild one.
