Senna Agius will remain alongside Gonzalez. The Australian rider will enter his third full season in the Moto2 World Championship in 2026, which will also be his third year with IntactGP.

ITALJET Gresini Moto2:
The ITALJET Gresini Moto2 squad will have an all-new rider line-up for the 2026 season as both Albert Arenas and Darryn Binder will leave the Italian team.
Alonso Lopez will end his four-year partnership with the SpeedRS Team at the conclusion of the 2025 season and will move across to Gresini's Moto2 squad, and will switch to Kalex machinery.
After being dropped from the Moto2 World Championship midway through the 2025 season by MSi Racing, Sergio Garcia will be back on the grid in 2026 as he has signed with Gresini.

CFMoto Aspar Team:
After fielding an all-rookie rider line-up for the 2025 season, the CFMoto Aspar Team will continue with the same riders in the 2026 Moto2 World Championship.
David Alonso came into the Moto2 World Championship as the 2024 Moto3 World Champion. The Colombian rider has won a race and featured on a further podium in his rookie season, and will remain with Aspar in 2026.
Daniel Holgado joined the Aspar Team for the 2025 season after competing with Red Bull KTM Tech3 in Moto3, and the Spaniard has outperformed his teammate during their rookie Moto2 seasons. With a win and a further podium to his name, Holgado will continue with Aspar for a second season.

The OnlyFans American Racing Team are the third Moto2 squad that will retain its 2025 rider line-up for the 2026 Moto2 World Championship.

Marcos Ramirez will remain in the American Racing Team for a sixth season, and his seventh season in the Moto2 World Championship. The Spaniard is outside of the top ten in the 2025 season and has not featured on a podium after 16 races.

Italtrans Racing Team:
At the San Marino Grand Prix, the Italtrans Racing Team completed their 2026 Moto2 rider line-up after weeks of speculation.
It was already expected that Adrian Huertas would remain with the Italian team for a second season after making his debut in the Grand Prix paddock with the team in 2025, but that was confirmed on Saturday by the team.
However, alongside Huertas for 2026 will be fellow Spaniard, Daniel Muñoz, as Diogo Moreira is expected to move to MotoGP. Munoz has been riding for the Red Bull KTM Ajo squad as a replacement rider since the Austrian Grand Prix, but will be on the 2026 grid full-time.

The SpeedRS Team have retained a rider from their 2025 Moto2 line-up but will also field a rookie in the 2026 Moto2 World Championship.
Celestino Vietti will enter his sixth season in Moto2 next year and will also compete in his second season for the SpeedRS Team. The Italian rider has been inconsistent in 2025, but has stood on two podiums for the team.
The first confirmed rookie on the 2026 Moto2 grid was Luca Lunetta, who will step up to the intermediate class after two full seasons in the Moto3 World Championship. The Italian rider has struggled with injuries in 2025 and has only featured on a podium this season.

MSi Racing Team:
At the San Marino Grand Prix, the MSi Racing Team announced their Moto2 rider line-up for the 2026 World Championship, which sees them retain a rider and promote a rookie from their Moto3 squad.
After improving throughout his rookie Moto2 season in 2025, Ivan Ortola will remain with the Spanish squad for a second season. Ortola recorded a best result of sixth place twice before signing a contract renewal with the team.
Angel Piqueras debuted with the MSi Racing Team in Moto3 in 2025. After a year with the squad, he will make his way into their Moto2 team. The Spaniard has challenged for the Moto3 title throughout the 2025 season and won four Moto3 races this season.

ELF Marc VDS Racing Team:
The ELF Marc VDS Racing Team has only confirmed one of their riders for the 2026 Moto2 World Championship, but it is believed that they will have an all-new rider line-up.
It has been announced that Aron Canet will join the Belgian squad on a multi-year deal after spending two seasons with Fantic Racing. The Spaniard will reportedly spend a season in Moto2 with Marc VDS before moving across to World Superbikes in 2027.

It is already known that Collin Veijer will remain with the Finnish team as he originally joined them on a two-year deal ahead of his rookie Moto2 season in 2025. The Dutch rider had a difficult start to life in Moto2 but has featured inside the top ten on four occasions.

Fantic Racing:
The Fantic Racing squad announced one of their riders for the 2026 Moto2 season at the San Marino Grand Prix.
After making a surprise move to the Italian team at the start of the 2025 season, Barry Baltus will remain with Fantic Racing for a second year. During the 16 Grands Prix he has competed in with the team he has achieved six podiums, including one last weekend at Misano.

RW-Idrofoglia Racing:
Dutch team, RW-Idrofoglia Racing, has confirmed one of its riders for the 2026 Moto2 World Championship, but has not announced a second rider.
It has been confirmed that Ayumu Sasaki will remain with RW-Idrofoglia Racing for a second season after originally signing for the team on a two-year deal. The Japanese rider will head into his third Moto2 season in 2026 and will hope for a breakthrough year after two difficult seasons in 2024 and 2025.
Rumoured Riders:

ELF Marc VDS Racing Team:
It is well known who will ride the second ELF Marc VDS Racing Team Moto2 machine in 2026, but it has not been officially confirmed by the team or rider.
Turkish rider, Deniz Oncu, is expected to sign with the Belgian team for his third season in the Moto2 World Championship. However, his deal has not been announced as he has been injured since the Austrian Grand Prix.

Red Bull KTM Ajo:
The Red Bull KTM Ajo squad have not confirmed their second rider, but it is expected that the Finnish squad will promote the Moto3 World Championship leader into Moto2.
Jose Antonio Rueda, who is leading the Moto3 Championship for the Red Bull KTM Ajo squad, is expected to partner Collin Veijer in Moto2 in 2026, but his deal has not been officially announced by the team.

RW-Idrofoglia Racing:
With Ayumu Sasaki already signed for a second season with the Dutch team, there is still one ride available, as it appears Zonta van den Goorbergh could be on his way out.
According to recent reports, Filip Salac is in advanced talks with the RW-Idrofoglia Racing squad and has been offered a contract for the 2026 season with the team, which he had the opportunity to sign at Misano.

Fantic Racing:
The Fantic Racing squad have announced one of their riders for the 2026 season, and their second rider has been highly rumoured throughout the last few weeks.
With Aron Canet on his way out, the team appear to have settled on Tony Arbolino as their desired replacement. The Italian has underperformed with the BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team in 2025 and is desperate to return to the Kalex chassis in 2026.

IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia:
There have been no official announcements from the IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia squad over their 2026 Moto2 rider line-up, but they are expected to keep a rider from 2025 and promote a rider from Moto3.
Mario Aji had his Moto2 debut with the Honda Team Asia squad in 2024, and after a difficult rookie season, was expected to improve in 2025. However, so far this season, he has struggled with injuries, but will likely remain with the team for a third season.
It is likely that Japanese rider Taiyo Furusato will get promoted from the Honda Team Asia Moto3 squad into their Moto2 setup in 2026. Furusato has been in Moto3 for four years, and after making steady progress, is expected to make his Moto2 debut next season.

BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team:
The BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team has not announced either of their riders for the 2026 Moto2 season, but one rider is expected to stay, and a new rider is expected to arrive.
It is believed that Izan Guevara will stay with the Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team for a second season after debuting with them in 2025. The Spaniard will head into his fourth season in the Moto2 World Championship after winning the Moto3 title in 2022.
However, it appears there are three options for who will ride alongside the Spaniard in 2026. Despite the belief that Filip Salac will sign with RW-Idrofoglia Racing, there is a chance that Pramac could hijack the deal. But if they do not land the Czech rider, they are reportedly looking at Zonta van den Goorbergh and Alberto Fernandez.

KLINT Forward Racing:
There is little known about the Forward Racing squad's plans for the 2026 Moto2 World Championship, but they are expected to part ways with Jorge Navarro after an underwhelming season.
According to GPOne, the Swiss squad is looking to return to its 2024 Moto2 rider line-up by keeping Alex Escrig and bringing Xavier Artigas back to the squad after a year of test riding duties in World Superbikes with bimota.
