The 47th Suzuka 8 Hours (Japanese: 鈴鹿8時間耐久ロードレース第47回大会, Hepburn: Suzuka Hachijikan Taikyū Rōdo Rēsu Dai 47-kai Taikai) was a motorcycle endurance race, which took place on 3–5 July 2026 at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan.^[1]^[2] It marked the 47th running of the Suzuka 8 Hours since its inception in 1978, with the race having been cancelled only twice—in 2020 and 2021. The event also served as the third round of the 2026 FIM Endurance World Championship.^[3]

The race was sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) as part of the 2026 Endurance World Championship, and jointly organized by Mobilityland Corporation, the Motorcycle Federation of Japan (MFJ), and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, the championship's global promoter.^[4] The event has been sponsored by Coca-Cola in its official race title since 1984, making it one of the longest‑running title sponsorships in motorcycle racing.^[5]

Entries

For the 2026 Suzuka 8 Hours, the traditional domestic tryout system—used by Japanese teams who were not part of the full-season EWC grid—was abolished in favor of a new selection committee process composed of Mobilityland Corporation, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), and the FIM EWC promoter. The maximum entry field was established at 60 teams, consisting of 20 seeded teams based on the 2025 results, and up to 20 teams selected through the new process. The first round of selection concluded on 12 December 2025 with ten teams earning entry rights. Final entry confirmations followed in additional selection rounds in early 2026.^[6]^[7]^[8]

SDG Ducati Team Kagayama and Balz & Advance MC with Fujiki Kogyo withdrew their entries in February despite having been automatically granted the seeded entry based on the 2025 results.^[9] In May, Team Kagayama made a statement where they announced their official participation withdrawal from the 8 Hours endurance race, explaining their intent to focus fully on their All Japan JSB1000 season.^[10]
