MotoAmerica Superbikes

MotoAmerica Superbikes returns to Circuit of The Americas from September 11 to 13, 2026. It's a full weekend of motorcycle racing out at COTA, and the whole thing is built around open paddock access, so you can get close to the bikes and the crews rather than just watching from the stands. Between the races, there are food vendors, stunt shows, and family-friendly activities to fill the gaps.

If you can't make it in person, there's a MotoAmerica Live+ streaming service that lets you follow the racing live from anywhere, on or off the track. COTA itself sits on 1,500 acres in the rolling hills just outside downtown Austin, so it's a fair haul from the city center, but the scale of the place is part of the draw.

There are two experience add-ons available this time around. The Dunlop ECSTAR Suzuki Two-Seat Superbike Experience, run by Team Hammer Race Team, puts you on the back of a professional Superbike racer at speeds up to 150 mph, with all gear provided. All proceeds from that one go to the Roadracing World Action Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works on improving racetrack safety with life-saving soft barriers. The other is the Cardo Parade Lap, an escorted fan lap capped at 40 mph.

Gate hours are Thursday 1 PM to 6 PM, Friday and Saturday 8 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday 8 AM to 3 PM. Tickets are $30 for Friday, $75 for Saturday, and $75 for Sunday. You can get a 2-day pass for Saturday and Sunday for $80, or a 3-day pass for Friday through Sunday for $90. Military and veteran discounts are available, with the 3-day pass coming down to $65. Kids 12 and under are free with a paying adult. If you're staying over, tent camping is $65 and RV spots are $250. Motorcycle parking is free, but vehicle parking has to be bought online in advance.
