SAVE THE DATES

EDITORS NOTES

* The Classic TT will once again run alongside the Manx Grand Prix, which will begin on Sunday 16th August and conclude on Monday 24th August. Details of the 2026 Manx Grand Prix can be found at manxgrandprix.co.uk

* As the Bank Holiday Monday (31st August) falls late in the calendar, the Island’s schools are scheduled to return immediately after - therefore the Manx Grand Prix Race Days will not be centered around the Bank Holiday weekend.

* A detailed schedule for the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT will be issued by the Race Organiser in due course subject to approval under the Road Closure Act 2016.

SCHEDULE UPDATE

The Clerk of the Course has issued a revised schedule for Saturday 6 June, including the rescheduled Milwaukee Senior TT.

Following an improvement in the forecast for Saturday, and with heavy showers and low cloud now expected on Sunday, the Clerk of the Course has confirmed that the contingency period previously identified for Sunday will not be utilised.

As a result, and due to the remaining weather windows available within the event schedule, the RL360 Superstock TT Race 2 has been cancelled and will not take place at the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.

The Mountain Road is scheduled to close at 09:00, with all roads on the TT Mountain Course closing at 10:00.

Further updates will be issued as required.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and patience.
