The provisional calendar for the 2026 powered by HKC Koopmann, Anlas, Kineo and Blackburst has been announced with a greatly expanded ten-round series scheduled for next season, including an historic first date in Argentina.
Building on the growing success of the series over recent editions, next year’s championship will run from early-May until late-October and has grown from 2025’s six-round schedule.
The action gets under way at Roden in the Netherlands on 9 May and continues three weeks later with a visit to Terenzano in Italy. After a four-week break, round three will be staged at Haunstetten in Germany on 27 June with round four set for Donji Kraljevec in Croatia on 4 July.
Following the summer pause, the championship resumes on 22 August at Scheessel in Germany and then one week later moves to King’s Lynn in Great Britain for round six.
For round seven the series stops off at Vasad in Hungary on 12 September followed by a visit to Pardubice in the Czech Republic on 3 October before leaving Europe for the first time and concluding in Argentina on 24-25 October.
Armando Castagna, Director of the FIM Track Racing Commission, stated: “There is so much excitement currently centred around Flat Track racing, making this the perfect time to expand the FIM World Championship to take advantage of this growing interest. It is a fast-paced and spectacular sport that continues to attract new fans in increasingly large numbers and I am personally very excited to watch it grow and prosper, plus reach new countries and continents too.”
Fabio Muner, FIM Marketing and Digital Director, added: “We have watched the growing popularity of the FIM Flat Track World Championship with great enthusiasm and feel that the time is right to expand the series. By adding two more rounds in Europe and then taking the championship to Argentina, a nation with a great love of motorcycle sport, we will have the opportunity to showcase the sport to a much larger and wider audience.”
