2026 Italian Prestige Motocross Championship

The 2026 Italian Prestige Motocross Championship season was the 18th edition of the Italian Motocross Championship carrying the 'Prestige' moniker.

The series consisted of six rounds, running from March to late August. Isak Gifting was the reigning champion in the MX1 Elite class, after winning his first prestige title in 2025. Due to a pre-season injury, Gifing was not able to successfully defend his title. Slovenian Jan Pancar won three of the six rounds contested to take his first MX1 Elite title, to add to his MX2 Elite title that he won in 2022.

Valerio Lata was the reigning champion in the MX2 Elite class, after winning his second consecutive title with a round to spare in the previous season. Lata was once again the dominant force in the class, winning four of the six rounds overall to take his third consecutive MX2 Elite title.

The second race at the opening round was cancelled for both classes due to poor weather conditions and the condition of the track.

The second race in the MX1 class at the final round was stopped and then cancelled during the first lap, due to a crash involving several riders and low sun causing visibility issues.

Race calendar and results The full calendar with both dates and venues was released on 9 February.
