The race weekend in Jerez will begin on Friday, April 24, 2026, with a series of First Free Practice (FP1) sessions for all classes, namely Moto3, Moto2, and MotoGP. This first day is an important opportunity for the riders to find the best settings before entering the competitive session.
On the same day, practice sessions will also be held in the afternoon and evening in West Indonesia time (WIB). The riders will undergo the main practice session which determines who will directly qualify for the Second Qualifying (Q2).
Furthermore, on Saturday, April 25, 2026, the agenda will continue with the Second Free Practice (FP2) session for all classes. After that, the riders will fight in the Qualifying session to determine the starting position on the race grid.
The MotoGP Qualifying session will be held in two stages, namely Q1 and Q2. The ten fastest riders from the Practice session will directly enter Q2, while the rest must compete first in Q1 to compete for two additional tickets to Q2.
The session then continued to the MotoGP Sprint Race which took place in the evening WIB. This Sprint Race is one of the crucial moments because it gives additional points for the riders in the standings.
Then the peak of the race will be held on Sunday, April 26, 2026, starting with the MotoGP warm-up session. This session is usually used by the team to ensure the condition of the motorcycle before the main race begins.
