The 2026 ACU British Motocross Championship season (known for sponsorship reasons as the Motul ACU British Motocross Championship) was the 74th British Motocross Championship season. The series was contended over eight rounds, held between March and September.

Conrad Mewse was the reigning champion in the MX1 class, after picking up his fifth national title in 2025. In the MX2 class, Tommy Searle was the reigning champion, after taking his first title in the class and fifth overall in the previous season.

Whilst Mewse went on to successfully defend his title in MX1, it was Charlie Heyman who would take his first senior national title in the MX2 class.

Following the publishing of the initial championship calendar, a revised version was released in February 2026 after concerns the round held in south Wales clashed with the British round of the 2026 FIM Enduro World Championship.
