Harley-Davidson unveils world-first Bagger World Cup

Harley-Davidson and MotoGP have unveiled the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup - the world's first global bagger racing championship - along with its full 2026 race calendar. Announced at a press conference at Austria's iconic Red Bull Ring, the six-round series will debut next year, bringing American V-Twin power to legendary circuits across the U.S.A and Europe.

Based on Harley-Davidson's Grand American Touring platform, the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup race bikes will be radically transformed for speed, agility, and spectacle, offering fans a visceral new kind of racing experience unlike anything currently on the MotoGP schedule.

The Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup was first teased earlier in 2025 during the Grand Prix of France at the legendary Le Mans circuit

The series kicks off in the U.S.A before making its way across Europe and onto the global stage. From the hills of Mugello to the historic straights of Silverstone, the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup will bring distinctive American performance and international competition together in a thrilling, six-round championship, whereby Austria's Red Bull Ring will host the final and title-awarding round.

Prospective teams, riders, and sponsors are now invited to engage with the series as preparations accelerate for the 2026 debut season.
