Marquez could clinch 2026 MotoGP title at Portimao

Marc Marquez can wrap up the 2026 MotoGP championship at the Portuguese Grand Prix in Portimao, which runs from 20 to 22 November. Marquez arrives at the penultimate round with a 60-point lead over Jorge Martin and a 74-point advantage over Marco Bezzecchi. A win in the Sprint would be enough to secure the title, as he only needs to outscore the injured Martin by two points on Saturday.

If Martin beats Marquez in the Sprint, the title fight continues to the Grand Prix, where Martin would need to finish within 37 points of Marquez to force a showdown at Valencia. Bezzecchi, who won last year's Portimao Grand Prix, would have to win all four remaining races and hope Marquez fails to score in any of them.

In the teams' standings Aprilia holds a 124-point lead over Ducati Lenovo, although the constructors' battle is tighter, with Ducati eight points ahead of Aprilia in that category. Session times are listed, with the Sprint on Saturday 21 November and the Grand Prix on Sunday 22 November, and MotoGP Video Pass will stream all sessions live.
