Doha: The MotoGP Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Qatar 2026 has been postponed and will now take place in November, according to organisers.

The race was originally scheduled to be held at the Lusail International Circuit from April 10 to April 12. However, the event has now been rescheduled to November 6 to November 8 following changes to the MotoGP calendar.

The decision was announced in coordination with MotoGP organisers, the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation and Lusail International Circuit authorities. Officials confirmed their support for the revised schedule and said preparations will continue for the event on the new dates.

Reports indicate that the change was made due to the current situation in the region, which has affected travel and international sporting events.

With the revised schedule, the Qatar round will now be held in the later part of the MotoGP season, with organisers expected to release more details about the event in the coming months.
