World Tour Final in Istanbul 2026
After more than a decade, the world’s leading freestyle motocross series, NIGHT of the JUMPs, is officially returning to Turkey. Back in 2010, the tour made a spectacular stop in Şanlıurfa - inside a football stadium near the Syrian border. Now, in 2026, the story continues on a much bigger stage: Istanbul will host the final and decisive showdown of the World Tour Championship.
The Grand Finale in a Global Metropolis
On December 19, 2026, the global elite of action sports will gather at the iconic Ülker Sports Arena. Located on the Asian side of Istanbul - a city that spans two continents and is home to more than 15 million people - the arena provides the perfect setting for a championship of this magnitude. This is not just another stop on the tour; it is the final event of the 2026 season, where the world champion will be crowned.
A Unique Mix of Sport and Show
Known as the world’s largest international freestyle motocross series, NIGHT of the JUMPs delivers far more than competition. It combines world-class FMX with performances from MTB, BMX, scooter, and trampoline athletes, all embedded in a high-energy show featuring massive jumps, cutting-edge tricks, pyrotechnics, and spectacular light design. The result is an immersive live experience that captivates both hardcore fans and newcomers alike.
The World’s Best Athletes in One Arena
The Istanbul final will showcase some of the biggest names in action sports. Luc Ackermann, X Games gold medalist and reigning World Tour Champion, will lead the field alongside top contenders like Davide Rossi. Rising talent Matěj Česák will bring innovation and progression, while Alejandro Bonafé and Lennox Zimmermann represent the elite of their respective disciplines. Together, they will push the limits of what is possible and fight for the ultimate title. (all athletes tba)
