Don’t miss a minute of MCL26

With just 15 days until the UK’s biggest and best indoor motorcycle show in the UK, MCL26 in Association with Bikesure, gets underway at the NEC, Birmingham, now is the time to start planning to ensure you enjoy all the action! 

And this year, thanks to a host of new features and attractions, there’s less reason than ever to miss out. 

The basics are these: The Show runs from 21 to 29 November with doors opening daily at 10:00am. 

One brand-new feature for MCL26 is live, big screen coverage of the show via MCL On Demand. A dedicated production crew will be roaming all 4 halls across all nine days and will project live, high-octane content directly to large screens across Halls 3, 3A and 4. From James Whitham and Grace Webb interviewing motorcycling celebs on the Super Stage, to Matt Crowhurst’s loud and proud commentary in the Moto Action Zone, there will be loads to see, and now there’s even less reason to miss out. You’ll be able to catch it all on the MCL YouTube post show, too! 

There’s also a packed roster of star guest appearances across all nine days, with the brand-new ‘Super Stage’ set to be buzzing every day. Multiple MotoGP winner and two-time World Superbike champ Max Biaggi will be present on behalf of Aprilia, while Long Way Round star and Zerofit ambassador Charley Boorman is among the first stars on Saturday 21 November. In addition to officially opening the show, both will join ‘Whit’, Grace, and Matt on the Super Stage later that day. 

Biaggi and Boorman will also be the first guests to appear on the all-new ‘Breakfast With...’ feature which kicks off each morning on the Super Stage. It’s the perfect time to pull up a pew and plan your day with the help of the MCL team. And, with breakfast specials costing just £8.25 for a butty and a drink, it’s also a great way to fuel up ahead of a busy day. With your day mapped out, it’s time to hit the halls. Over 50 manufacturers are at the show, showcasing hundreds of bikes, including brand new 2027 models, with many making their UK debut, making MCL26 the ultimate opportunity to compare them under one roof. From learner-legal 125s by AJS to electric innovators Zero, the NEC halls will be hosting, quite literally, the A to Z of motorcycling. 

MCL26 isn’t just about the bikes, though. The Show halls are also packed with exhibitors selling kit, accessories and biking paraphernalia, making it the perfect place to treat or kit yourself out, especially as there will also be countless exclusive show specials and the latest kit on offer. So, whether you’re looking to invest in an airbag system, upgrade your lid or break in a new pair of boots, you’ll find everything needed to upgrade your riding wardrobe. 

If you’re bringing the family along for the day, there are plenty of dedicated activities for kids across the show too. Aspiring riders aged two and up can get their first taste of two wheels, thanks to hands-on sessions with Kiddimoto, the Triumph TXP Experience and the MCL Learn2Ride Zone. Manufacturers are getting involved, too, offering child-friendly activities including colouring competitions, dedicated play areas and plenty of display bikes to hop on board.  

When it’s time to take a breather, why not head to Halls 3 and 3A? Here, dedicated Fan Zones give you the chance to take the weight off your feet, grab a bite to eat and stay right in the heart of the action with MCL On Demand streaming on the big screens. If you’re a MotoGP fan, the weekends are an absolute must as there’ll be live coverage of both the Portuguese and Valencia rounds thanks to TNT Sports and HBO Max, making it the perfect ‘pit stop’ before heading back out to explore the show.

While finally, before heading off home, why not take advantage of half price food & drink? Every afternoon from 4:00 pm, all food and drink in Hall 4 will be 50 per cent off! It’s the perfect way to catch the final stretch of Super Stage entertainment with a bargain burger and drink in hand, rounding out an action-packed day. With some super-interesting 4pm ‘Super Stage’ slots planned, it’s the perfect way to see out your visit to MCL26.
