Infront Moto Racing has a commercial rights distribution deal with the FIM global motorcycling governing body through 2036.
The 2026 season of the top-tier MXGP got underway in early March in Argentina and will run through until the final Grand Prix of this year, on September 20 in Darwin, Australia.
