Yamaha has secured the 2026 FIM Supersport World Championship Manufacturers’ Title at Estoril, adding another milestone to its long-standing history in the category and claiming its 12th Manufacturers’ Championship. The achievement marks Yamaha‘s second consecutive WorldSSP Manufacturers’ title, following its success in 2025.

Three riders have contributed points to Yamaha‘s 2026 championship tally: Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team), Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha), Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing), and  Roberto Garcia (GMT94 Yamaha) . Arenas has been Yamaha‘s highest-scoring rider so far this season, with the Spanish rider claiming three race victories aboard the YZF-R9. Now crowned WorldSSP Champion, Arenas helped AS BLU CRU Racing Team and Yamaha complete a clean sweep of the Riders’, Teams’ and Manufacturers’ Championships, with all three titles secured in Race 1 at Estoril.

Yamaha‘s first WorldSSP Manufacturers’ Championship came in 1999, the inaugural season of the category, and the Japanese manufacturer has remained a constant presence in the championship ever since. More than two decades later, Yamaha‘s YZF-R9 has delivered another Manufacturers’ title, continuing the manufacturer’s successful legacy in WorldSSP.

Michael van Zomeren, Marketing & Motorsport Director, Yamaha Motor Europe: “A huge congratulations to Albert Arenas on securing the WorldSSP title in his very first attempt! It has been an exemplary season for him. The R9’s continued success in the FIM Supersport World Championship further underlines its position as the leading middleweight Supersport machine. Winning the title in its first season was a huge statement, but to come back and defend the Riders’ and Manufacturers’ crowns makes that achievement even more significant and further demonstrates the capability of the R9 as a complete Supersport package.

Credit must go to our teams, AS BLU CRU Racing, Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing and GMT94 Yamaha, and their riders for their hard work, commitment and determination throughout the season. A big congratulations also goes to our Motorsport Division for all their hard work in keeping the R9 at the top of the WorldSSP standings, and for putting together a rider line-up that has delivered such an incredible result.”
