The PT Grand Prix of Thailand 2026 is organized by the Sports Authority of Thailand and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, with support from TAT, the Department of Land Transport, and the Road Safety Fund, plus private partners in motorsport, energy, mobility and hospitality.

Thailand has hosted MotoGP for seven years, and an extended hosting agreement through 2031 will enable long-term planning, consistent standards, international visibility, and sustainable economic impact for host communities.

Thailand’s MotoGP festival is expected to draw high-quality, group-oriented visitors who travel in cohorts, stay longer, and boost local income while broadcasting Thailand to audiences in more than 200 countries.

Projected attendance exceeds 220,000 spectators with tourism-related revenue of at least 5 billion Baht, underscoring MotoGP as a premier, high-value international event for Thailand.

The event’s broader impact goes beyond a single race, attracting international visitors, encouraging longer stays, and widening tourism benefits across the country.

Thailand will host the opening round of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship from late February to early March at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, marking the second consecutive year as season opener.

The Buriram program will feature MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3, along with a full slate of fan experiences, rider meet-and-greets, live music at Chang Music Connection, and interactive zones to showcase Thai identity and boost tourism.

The 5 Must Do in Thailand framework will enhance the visitor experience with Must Taste, Must Try, Must Buy, Must Seek, and Must See experiences tied to local cuisine, culture, sports, crafts, and MotoGP atmosphere.
