Honda confirmed on October 1, 2026, that Red Bull will return as a sponsor for its factory MotoGP team starting in 2027. This decision comes four years after Red Bull ended its previous agreement following Marc Marquez's departure. The new contract indicates a stronger partnership with increased visibility of Red Bull's branding on Honda's motorcycles. Fabio Quartararo, who is set to be Honda's main rider in 2027, is required to end his sponsorship deal with Monster, which has supported him at Yamaha since 2019. The change in sponsorship dynamics may also shift Monster's status with Yamaha as they transition further into partnerships with other teams.
