MotoGP 2026: Rider Suits, Team Colors and Where to See Them

Short answer: the 2026 MotoGP grid has eleven teams and 22 riders, and each rider's suit follows the team livery with personal number, name and sponsor placement on top. This guide goes team by team, then shows what replicas exist in our MotoGP 2026 collection.

The 2026 season at a glance

The 2026 season is the newest in our MotoGP 2026 suits range. The official calendar lists 22 Grands Prix, and we do not copy the schedule here because it can change. Use the official MotoGP calendar for dates and circuits. Last checked: November 2026.

The colors below describe the general team liveries, which are the starting point for a suit. Individual suits differ in the placement of sponsors, panel shapes and trim, so use each product page for the exact design.

Team-by-team suit guide

Rider names follow the 2026 line-up reported by The Race and Motorsport Magazine; the official MotoGP entry list is the final word.

TeamRidersMain suit colors
Ducati factory teamMarc Marquez, Francesco BagnaiaRed with white racing stripes
Aprilia factory teamJorge Martin, Marco BezzecchiMostly black with bright accents
Yamaha factory teamFabio Quartararo, Alex RinsBlue with black
Honda factory teamJoan Mir, Luca MariniHonda house colors with Castrol branding

Pramac YamahaJack Miller, Toprak RazgatliogluPurple and black
LCR HondaJohann Zarco, Diogo MoreiraSplit liveries: Castrol colors for Zarco, Pro Honda colors for Moreira
Trackhouse ApriliaRaul Fernandez, Ai OguraMostly black, plus a Gulf-themed livery at five rounds
Tech3 KTMMaverick Vinales, Enea BastianiniSame livery as the KTM factory team

One thing the table cannot show is how much a livery changes within a season. Special-edition race suits for individual weekends happen, and a replica generally follows the main season design unless the product says otherwise. For example, Trackhouse runs a Gulf livery at five 2026 rounds and its regular colors at the rest, and LCR Honda uses two different liveries on one team.

What changed from last season

Each winter, teams change riders, partners and often their colors. For 2026, the points to look at are the new line-ups and any change in sponsor layout on the shoulders, chest and legs. Most 2026 liveries are close to 2025. VR46 returned to yellow and black, Ducati added white racing stripes for its 100th anniversary, and Trackhouse reworked its main design. On the rider side, Bezzecchi and Martin pair up at Aprilia, Toprak Razgatlioglu joins Pramac Yamaha, and Diogo Moreira joins LCR Honda. If you own a 2025 replica and want the update, compare the two year categories side by side using our MotoGP suits by year timeline.

How to read a team livery

A livery is more than a color. When you compare two team suits, it helps to look at four things.

  • Base color: the main panel color, which defines the team at a glance.
  • Accent colors: the second and third colors on the shoulders, sleeves and legs.
  • Sponsor blocks: where partner names sit. These move around between seasons even when the colors stay the same.
  • Rider details: number, name and any personal graphic. These make the suit one rider's rather than the team's.

Two teammates wear the same base design, so the number and name are what tell them apart. If you want a particular rider, check that the product shows the right number and name, not just the team look.

Numbers and names

Race numbers are the quickest way to identify a rider, and replicas that get the number wrong look off immediately. Check the number's position on the back, the chest and the shoulders, and the style of the lettering. A rider who changes number from one season to another will have two different suits, so match the year as well as the rider. Check numbers on the official entry list before ordering.

Sizing and made-to-measure

A race cut is slim by design, and it is cut for a rider in a tucked position. Standing straight, a suit feels tighter in the chest and shoulders than a casual jacket. Measure carefully and compare against the size chart, and if your build is outside standard sizes, ask about made-to-measure. Our guide on selecting the correct racing suit size explains how to measure.

Do not buy a suit a size larger and rely on it to stretch into shape. Leather gives a little, but a loose suit moves around on the body, and in a crash a suit that shifts leaves protection out of place.

Gloves, boots and the full look

A suit is most convincing with matching gloves and boots, and many seasons include them as part of the collection. If you ride, choose gloves and boots with the protection you would want regardless of the livery. If the full look is for display or an event, color match is all that counts. Either way, the 2026 collection shows what is available by season.

Riding, display or costume: which use are you buying for?

Costume or eventLook and comfortColor match, weight, sizing for layering

If you are building a look for a themed event, our guide to making a MotoGP rider costume covers budget options.

Replica vs official: what you get and what you do not

A replica copies the look of a suit and not the technology. The sponsor logos and official trademarks of teams and series belong to their owners, and our suits are our own designs inspired by the season, not official merchandise and not made or endorsed by teams or riders.

  • Often matched: colors, number and name styling, panel layout, general silhouette.
  • Often different: airbag systems, exact leather specification and any rider-specific engineering.
  • Varies by product: armor, lining and intended use. Read the product page. Our race suits have removable CE Level 1 armor and a back pocket for an optional EN 1621-2 back protector. Sponsor logos are printed, or embroidered or stitched as patches, and cannot be left off or changed.

Our guide to replica vs custom race suits covers when a standard replica is enough and when a custom build makes sense.

Our 2026 collection includes items for many of the riders in the table, for example Alex Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Jorge Martin, Johann Zarco, Luca Marini and Diogo Moreira.

Where to see the grid

The official MotoGP website carries the entry list, calendar and results. If you are planning a trip, the official calendar is the place for dates and tickets. We link to it rather than copy it, so you always see the current version.

Choosing your replica: jacket or full suit

If you want one piece that you can wear every day, a replica jacket is simpler. The MotoGP replica jackets range lets you match a rider's colors without a one-piece suit. A full suit is the better choice for track days or if you want the complete look.

  1. Pick your rider and team. Colors follow the team.
  2. Decide jacket or suit. Jackets suit street wear, suits suit the track or display.
  3. Check the protection spec. Armor and construction are on the product page. Our garments do not carry a whole-garment EN 17092 class; the armor is CE-rated (EN 1621-1).
  4. Choose your size. Use the size chart or ask about made-to-measure.

A replica is not the same as a team suit with an integrated airbag, so do not expect the same level of protection unless the product says so.

Questions to ask before ordering a 2026 replica

  • Which season is the design based on, and does the product page name the year?
  • Is the number and name on the suit the one I want?
  • Is the suit meant for riding, or is it a display or costume piece?
  • What armor is included, and where?
  • Is the suit one-piece or two-piece, and with or without a hump?
  • What are the standard sizes, and is made-to-measure available?
  • How long does an order take to make, and is there a way to track it?

Any good seller will answer these plainly. If an answer is vague, take that as a sign to look elsewhere. Leather Collection builds each order to size, which means lead times differ from stock items, so plan ahead if you want the suit for a particular date.

Looking after a replica jacket or suit

A replica is made of leather, and a few habits help it last. Hang it on a wide hanger after wear, and keep it away from radiators and direct sun. Wipe off dust and grime with a soft, barely damp cloth and let it dry in the open air. Condition lightly once or twice a year, following the care label, and test on a hidden area first. Do not use harsh cleaners on printed or stitched sponsor graphics. If you store the suit for a long time, use a breathable bag rather than plastic.

Why liveries change from year to year

Teams update their liveries for several reasons: a new title sponsor, a change of manufacturer partnership, a rider move or a simple wish to refresh the look. Small changes, such as a new accent stripe or a moved logo block, happen almost every winter. Larger changes, such as a new base color, are rarer. If you are buying a replica to match a specific season, compare the product images to a reliable photo of the rider's suit from that season, and look at the panel lines as well as the colors.

Updating this page

This guide is refreshed each season. When 2027 begins, the 2026 line-up moves to the history timeline and this page is updated in place, so the address stays the same. That keeps the information current instead of leaving an old-season page behind.

What is the difference between a replica jacket and a suit?

A jacket covers the upper body and can be worn on its own, while a suit covers the full body in one or two pieces. Jackets are easier for daily wear, and suits give the complete race look.

Are replica suits safe to ride in?

It depends on the product. Check the armor and construction on the product page, and ask the maker if it is unclear. No Leather Collection suit or jacket carries a whole-garment EN 17092 class; the armor is CE-rated (EN 1621-1). Replicas do not include a team-style airbag system unless stated.
