Harley-Davidson confirmed more details for the first season of the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup, with additional teams joining the grid, the race weekend format finalized, and ticket packages now available for all six rounds of the 2026 championship.
The manufacturer said Indonesia-based Niti Racing has secured a place on the provisional entry list. The team joins Saddlemen Race Development from the United States, Italy’s Cecchini Racing Garage, and Australia’s Joe Rascal Racing.
Joe Rascal Racing also received approval to expand its lineup from two riders to three. With the update, the provisional grid now stands at four teams and nine riders.
Harley-Davidson and MotoGP also confirmed the weekend format for most rounds of the series.
At events in the United States, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Aragón in Spain, and Austria, the Bagger World Cup will run on a three-day schedule.
Friday will feature two free practice sessions. Qualifying will take place around midday on Saturday, followed by Race 1 in the afternoon after the MotoGP Tissot Sprint.
Race 2 will be held on Sunday, either in the morning or the afternoon, depending on the event timetable.
A different schedule will apply at the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello. Practice sessions and qualifying will be held on Friday, with both races set for Saturday.
The six rounds will take place in Austin, Mugello, Assen, Silverstone, Aragón, and at Austria’s Red Bull Ring, which will host the championship finale in September.
The Bagger World Cup will run as a support series on selected MotoGP weekends in North America and Europe.
The race bikes are based on Harley-Davidson’s Grand American Touring platform and feature factory-built race components, including Milwaukee-Eight V-twin engines and purpose-built chassis and electronics packages.
