The 2026 Isle of Man TT was held between 25 May and 6 June on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course.
This year's Isle of Man TT introduced the Sportbike TT category following the FIM's introduction in the Superbike ladder as a successor to the prior SuperTwin TT. Bikes from the prior SuperTwin category remained eligible for the new class, as did Formula TT when Superbike TT was introduced in 2005. Race organisers tried to reduce the performance of the Sidecar TT machines with the mandatory use of restrictor plates on engine air intakes. This measure was expected to lower top speeds by around 10mph and add 30 seconds to lap times. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/tt/isle-of-man-tt-2026-preview-sidecars-under-restriction-with-new-regulations-909124
The first practice session was halted, when a competitor came off at Parliament Square and injured eight spectators.https://www.espn.co.uk/espn/story/_/id/48888402/two-spectators-hospital-isle-man-tt-incident One rider, Daniel Ingham, died during the third qualifying session after a crash at Doran's Bend. Maria Costello and passenger Shaun Parker were seriously injured in a sidecar crash at the Brandish section on May 26. Costello has to undergo long term treatment after being diagnosed with paralysis of the lower back due to broken vertebrae, multiple broken ribs and a liver laceration among other fractures and lacerations.https://www.bbc.com/sport/motorsport/articles/clypynnnmx2o A decision was announced on 28 May to suspend the sidecar class on safety grounds for the rest of the 2026 event. This followed a crash in qualifying involving the sidecar of Ryan and Callum Crowe at Crosby Leap. Wet weather disrupted much of the schedule during race week. Supersport Race 1 was postponed from 30 May and later cancelled. The Senior TT was brought forward to Friday 5 June from 6 June. On Saturday June 6 the decision was made to call the remaining event early, so the aborted Senior TT was classified with just one lap completed and the leader Dean Harrison given the Senior TT race win.https://www.the-race.com/tt/rest-of-tt-2026-abandoned-harrison-declared-senior-winner/
