The 2026 FIM Motocross World Championship was the 70th FIM Motocross World Championship season.
In the MXGP class, Romain Febvre was the defending champion, after winning his second title in the 2025 season. Febvre did not manage to defend his title and did not manage to secure a single moto or grand prix victory throughout the season. After an early season battle with Lucas Coenen, it was Dutch rider Jeffrey Herlings who ended the year by picking up his sixth world title overall, in his first season as a factory Honda rider.
Simon Längenfelder was the reigning champion in the MX2 class, after taking his first world title in the previous season. Spaniard Guillem Farrés took the MX2 crown, winning the title for the factory Triumph team, just three years into the manufacturers return to making motocross bikes.
Race calendar and results A provisional calendar was released on . The championship is to be contested over nineteen rounds in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, and Africa.
