The 2026 MotoGP race at Phillip Island, Australia, was cancelled because of poor weather, according to reports from Australian media outlets.

Heavy rain and poor visibility were reported as conditions affecting the race, ABC Australia Sport said. The cancellation ended the scheduled MotoGP event at the circuit without a race taking place.

The Age Sport and Sydney Morning Herald Sport described the event as the final Australian MotoGP race at Phillip Island. Their coverage characterized the cancellation as a farewell to, or the end of, the venue’s MotoGP era.

The reports establish the cancellation and its weather-related cause, but the supplied evidence does not include an official race-organizer statement or clarify whether other race-related sessions were affected.
