In the 10th and final round of the 2026 FIM Flat Track World Championship held in Totoras, Argentina, on October 25, 2026, British rider Tim Neave clinched the championship title. Racing for Ducati, Neave finished the final race in 12th place, but his points advantage throughout the season brought Great Britain its first world championship in this discipline.

On the final day of the championship, host Argentine riders delivered a superior performance. Juan Jose Coduri, who took the lead after Matias Lorenzato, who had led for most of the race, crashed on the ninth lap, was the first to see the checkered flag. Following Coduri, the order was Maximiliano Varas, Juan Martín Viganoni, and Matias Emanuel Frey.

In the overall championship standings, Jack Bell took the silver medal, while Neave managed to collect the points needed for the championship despite recording his lowest score of the season. Dalton Gauthier, who joined the race at the last minute, showed a strong performance with his Royal Enfield but could not finish the final due to a mechanical failure.
