🏍️ Strap yourselves in for wheel-to-wheel drama at Brands Hatch courtesy of the latest round of the 2026 Bennetts British Superbike Championship. Read on for a preview and how you can be there!
The Bennetts British Superbike Championship’s ‘Big Brands Bash’ returns at the height of the summer for a flat-out festival of two-wheeled racing. British Superbike Championship Brands Hatch tickets are on sale now.
Taking place on the Grand Prix circuit from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 July, top-class riders such as Kyle Ryde, Bradley Ray and Glenn Irwin will be in the fight for victories during a triple-header event. Ryde is the defending champion having secured back-to-back championships in 2025, the first rider to retain the BSC title since Shane Byrne in 2017. Ray finished second in the 2025 championship race. Machinery from Ducati, Bimota, Yamaha, Honda and more will feature around the legendary 2.4-mile layout.
Friday is practice day ahead of the three BSB races which top the bill over the weekend. The first one takes place on Saturday following qualifying. Then on Sunday it’s a BSB double-header. All of the action will take place on the magical, full Grand Prix circuit. A top-quality support programme will be in action too, with champions being crowned in a range of national classes.
The BSB is widely considered as the greatest domestic bike series in the world, famed for its close and dramatic racing. Bikes average more than 180bhp and are capable of reaching 200mph! The explosive acceleration off the line and riders rubbing shoulders at incredible speeds is not to be missed.
