Major schedule changes and road closures announced as TT races continue
The Isle of Man TT schedule has been reshuffled once again, with significant implications for visitors and residents navigating the island on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. All roads around the famous TT course are now closed, with major changes to race timings and formats affecting the day's events.
The Sportbike race has been postponed to 6:30pm, running over three laps instead of the originally planned four.

Roads are expected to fully reopen by 10:30pm.
For visitors and locals alike, it's advisable to plan journeys carefully and allow extra time for travel. Consider checking real-time updates from TT officials before heading out, as further schedule changes may be announced.
