MCL Media Accreditation for 2026 IS NOW OPEN!

Media accreditation for MCL26, in association with Bikesure Insurance, is now officially open.

Building on the success of last year’s show, we are revamping, improving, and reimagining several key areas. Visitors will, as always, have the chance to explore the latest models from all major manufacturers and our ever-popular test ride zones return for all age groups.

An all-new, heart-stopping display from the Moto Action Show freestyle MX and precision trials riders will keep showgoers entertained throughout the event.

For 2026, we have been working hard behind the scenes to introduce two newly designed stage experiences. The MCL Super Stage will host a combination of celebrities, racers, the popular daily quiz, as well as live demonstrations and technical chats. MCL26 sees the team forces with the ABR Festival team to bring their wealth of knowledge to the ABR Festival Zone. With special guests, unique features and a summer festival vibe, we are excited to welcome a raft of new faces to MCL.

This is set to be the biggest and best MCL ever, with something for everyone, ensuring a show to remember.

Doors open to the public from 10am to 5pm, 21–29 November, at the NEC Birmingham. Following a survey of media attendees last year, we are exploring the opportunity for all accredited media to enter the show early – we will advise nearer show-time if this is possible. The Media Office will open daily at 9am and doors will close at 5.30pm.
