Here is the latest on the 2026 British Superbike rider line-up after the final round of the 2025 season...

Confirmed Riders:

Nitrous Competitions Racing:

The Nitrous Competitions Racing squad has retained both of their 2025 riders for the 2026 British Superbike season, but they will undergo a major change.

Kyle Ryde put pen to paper to remain with the team for a further two years at Donington Park. The reigning British Superbike Champion will ride for a fourth different manufacturer in the class next season.

Glenn Irwin entered the Nitrous Competitions Racing garage after splitting with Paul Bird Motorsport midway through the 2025 season. The #2 will continue with the squad for 2026 for the team's first year with Ducati machinery.

After running the Yamaha R1 for the 2025 season, the team will switch to the Ducati Panigale V4R next season.

Raceways Yamaha:

After returning to the British Superbike paddock for the 2025 season, Raceways Yamaha and Bradley Ray will continue for a second season.

Ray had spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons in the World Superbike paddock, but returned to Britain for the 2025 season on a Yamaha R1. The 2022 British Superbike Champion is in with a chance of winning his second title this weekend at Brands Hatch.

Moto Rapido Ducati Racing:

The Moto Rapido Ducati Racing squad will field an unchanged British Superbike rider line-up for the 2026 season.

After joining the team at the start of 2025, the 2018 British Superbike Champion, Leon Haslam, will remain on the squad's Ducati Panigale V4 R for a second season. This year has been a competitive year for Haslam as he returned to winning ways and was a Championship contender.

Hager PBM Ducati:

The 'Comeback Kid' will remain on the British Superbike grid for the 2026 season with the Hager PBM Ducati squad.

Scott Redding returned to British Superbikes at the fourth round of the season and has seen out the remainder of the 2025 season with the Paul Bird Motorsport Squad. The 2019 British Superbike Champion will now put in a full season in 2026 as he sets his sights on his second British Superbike crown.

Honda Racing UK:

The Honda Racing UK squad has confirmed one of its two riders for the 2026 British Superbike Championship.

After a year in World Superbikes, Ryan Vickers will return to British Superbikes and will ride for his third different manufacturer in the last three years. This will be Vickers' first time on a Honda CBR1000RR-R, and he may get World Superbike testing duties throughout the 2026 season.

The team are yet to announce their second rider, but they did confirm that Tommy Bridewell and Andrew Irwin will depart the team at the end of the 2025 season.

DAO Racing Honda:

After a big shake-up for the 2025 season, the DAO Racing Honda squad will retain both riders for a second season together.

Josh Brookes joined the DAO Racing Honda squad this season after a difficult 2024 season with the FHO Racing squad. During his first year with DAO Racing, the two-time British Superbike Champion has won a race and featured on a further podium, and will remain with the team for 2026.

Lee Jackson has had a difficult first season in the DAO Racing Honda garage as he has struggled with injuries during the 2025 season. Jackson has missed ten races through injury, but will be pushing for a stronger second season with the team.

TAG Racing Honda:

After two years together, Fraser Rogers and the TAG Honda squad will continue for a third season in the 2026 British Superbike Championship.

Rogers struggled with injuries during the 2024 season, but was back with a bang in 2025 as he secured a podium at Knockhill in the wet conditions and has been a consistent points scorer throughout the campaign.

The team are yet to announce a second rider for next season, but did confirm they will field a second bike. It has also been suggested that Charlie Nesbitt will sign for TAG Racing, but there has been no official confirmation.

Awaiting Rider Announcements:

AJN Steelstock Bimota:

It was announced at Oulton Park last time out that the FS-3 Racing squad would switch from Kawasaki machinery to bimota's for the 2026 season.

However, no announcement was made over who their riders will be for their first season with the KB998 Rimini. But our colleagues at Crash.net were able to ask Team Owner, Nigel Snook, about his rider line-up for 2026, and he 'safely assumes' that Max Cook will remain with the team next season.

Sencat by Swan Racing:

Ahead of the final round of the 2025 British Superbike Championship, the Sencat by Swan Racing squad announced it would field two Yamaha R1s next year.

However, neither of the team's riders was announced for the 2026 British Superbike Championship. But it has been heavily rumoured that Christian Iddon will be with the team, but there has been no official confirmation.
