2026 Superbike World Championship in Cremona: What’s happening when at the Ducati party

This coming weekend, the 2026 Superbike World Championship will be held at the Cremona Circuit. The September date is new. Previously, the production-based world championship took place in May at the circuit between Milan and Bologna.
It is only the tenth of twelve rounds this season, but the first title decisions are already on the cards. Should Nicolò Bulega have a lead of 124 points or more over his Aruba.it Ducati team-mate Iker Lecuona after the race weekend, he will be crowned world champion.
In fact, the 26-year-old is likely to clinch the title as early as after Sunday morning’s Superpole race. As the championship leader with 26 wins this season, he is the clear favourite anyway, and last year he secured a hat-trick of victories here.
One thing is certain: the grandstands will be packed to the rafters, as Cremona is, as we all know, a home race for both Bulega and Ducati.
Alongside the Superbike category, the Supersport and Sportbike World Championships will also be competing in Cremona, with the R3 World Cup rounding off the supporting programme. The standard schedule will apply, with the main races of the Superbike World Championship bringing the weekend to a close at 3.30 pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The first key sessions will take place as early as Friday afternoon with the Supersport and Sportbike qualifying sessions.
Incidentally, the EICMA motorbike trade fair is the title sponsor, and the Cremona Circuit has entered into a close partnership with it.
