Isle of Man TT: Revised TT Race Programme Confirmed
The Isle of Man TT Races has confirmed a revised race programme for the remainder of the 2026 event, designed to make best use of the available weather windows and provide the strongest opportunity to complete the remaining race schedule as safely as possible.
With further unsettled weather forecast over the coming days, the revised programme has been structured to prioritise the delivery of the Milwaukee Senior TT while also providing the best possible opportunity to complete as much of the remaining race programme as conditions allow.
The revised schedule follows detailed consideration of forecast conditions, competitor mileage, operational readiness, road closure requirements and the safe delivery of racing across the Mountain Course.

While the likelihood of racing taking place on Thursday is currently considered low, Race Control has retained a provisional programme for the day to ensure that any opportunity presented by an improvement in conditions can be utilised. A final decision regarding Thursday’s activity will be taken on Thursday morning following further consultation between the Clerk of the Course and the Isle of Man Met Office.
Should conditions allow, Thursday’s programme provides an opportunity to complete RL360 Superstock TT Race 1. However, given the limited time available within the remaining schedule, the race cannot be carried forward beyond Thursday. Should weather or course conditions prevent the race from taking place, it will be cancelled for 2026. In that event – as is standard procedure – the prize fund will be distributed equally amongst all qualified competitors.
Friday is scheduled to feature Monster Energy Supersport TT Race 2, Carole Nash Sportbike TT Race 1 and the Milwaukee Senior TT.
Saturday will see the Carole Nash Sportbike TT Race 2 and RL360 Superstock TT Race 2 scheduled to take place. Should Saturday’s programme be affected by weather or course conditions, both races will move to Sunday.
Gary Thompson MBE BEM, Clerk of the Course, added:
“Following the disruption we have experienced throughout the event, we have continued to review every available option to maximise the opportunities for racing, while ensuring the delivery of the race programme to the safest possible conditions remains our primary consideration.
“The revised programme has been developed to give us the strongest possible opportunity to complete the remaining races, while also protecting the delivery of the Senior TT as the headline race of the event.
“Although the latest forecast suggests the likelihood of racing on Thursday is currently low, we will continue to monitor conditions closely and make a final decision on Thursday morning following further consultation with the Met Office.
“We recognise the disappointment that disruption causes for competitors, teams, marshals, residents and fans, and I would like to thank everyone for their patience, understanding and continued support throughout the event.”

What are the Isle of Man TT Races
There are very few sporting events in the world with the tradition, heritage, and prestige of the Isle of Man TT Races. Despite being the world’s oldest continuous motorsports event, the TT remains, however, as fascinating and relevant today – continuously inspiring new generations of riders to come and race the Mountain Course.
Largely unchanged since 1911, the 37.73 miles of public roads simply capture the imagination like no other motorcycling venue can. The TT Course, whilst difficult to learn, is even harder to master – requiring immense levels of skill and concentration as speeds nudge an incredible 200mph.
