MotoGP will make its return to Brazil in 2026, with Estrella Galicia 0,0 announced as the title sponsor for the Estrella Galicia 0,0 Grand Prix of Brazil. This event, scheduled from March 20 to 22, 2026, will take place at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in Goiânia, marking Brazil’s reappearance on the MotoGP calendar after more than twenty years, amid high anticipation from fans eager for the sport’s revival in Latin America.
Expanding collaboration: Estrella Galicia 0,0’s growing role in MotoGP
Estrella Galicia 0,0, already recognized as the Official Beer of MotoGP, is intensifying its involvement by becoming the lead sponsor of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The brand’s continued sponsorship of events such as the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez demonstrates its expanding global footprint and dedication to motorcycle racing. Brazil stands as the only MotoGP race location in Latin America for 2026, with tickets reportedly sold out quickly, reflecting strong local enthusiasm.
“Our company is strongly linked to markets with a solid brewing tradition and culture, such as Brazil,” said Ignacio Rivera, Executive Chairman of Corporación Hijos de Rivera. “Becoming the main sponsor of the Brazilian Grand Prix represents a milestone in our long history in MotoGP. Brazil is a key country in our international expansion strategy, and we’re proud to be part of MotoGP’s return after more than two decades — especially alongside a local rider like Diogo Moreira.”
Spotlight on Diogo Moreira as home favorite in 2026

As the reigning Moto2 World Champion after clinching Brazil’s inaugural Grand Prix World Championship title in 2025, Moreira will advance to the MotoGP class racing with Pro Honda LCR. His participation on home turf will add a compelling narrative for fans and the sport’s community.
A remarkable 2025 season for Estrella Galicia 0,0-supported riders

“It’s fantastic news to welcome Estrella Galicia 0,0 as title sponsor for the Brazilian Grand Prix. They’re one of our most committed partners — supporting riders, engaging fans, and helping put on an incredible show. With Brazil already selling out its initial capacity, this sponsorship is a huge asset as we return to the country.”
