• MotoGP will return to Brazil in 2026 after a 21-year absence. The last time MotoGP was held in Brazil was in 2004 at the Jacarepaguá Circuit in Rio de Janeiro, where it was known as the Rio de Janeiro Grand Prix. ^[59]
• The Argentine Grand Prix will not be returning to the calendar in 2026, as the organisers have confirmed in a statement, aiming to return in 2027.

Work is currently underway to return to the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez. ^[61]
