How to watch the 2025 Superbike World Championship final round at Jerez live on TNT Sports and discovery+, as Toprak Razagatlioglu and Nicolo Bulega see their fierce battle for the title go down to the last weekend of the season. Elsewhere, one of the greatest to ever do it on a Superbike, Jonathan Rea, says his farewell to the sport he dominated for so long.

This weekend marks the end of the 2025 World SBK season and there is plenty happening in Jerez.

There is the epic title fight between Toprak Razgatlioglu and Nicolo Bulega for one thing, with the pair still locked in battle ahead of the final weekend.

There is also going to be an emotional farewell to one of the true icons of the sport, Jonathan Rea, who has announced he will retire at the end of this campaign.

We’ve also had another place on the 2026 grid confirmed this week, but incredibly, there are still six independent spots yet to be locked in.

Let’s dig into what you should be watching for this weekend, and exactly how you can watch it.

Who will win the 2025 SBK World Championship?

Toprak is currently on 580 points, whilst Bulega is on 541 points with two races and one Superpole Race left in the season.

Bulega won Race 2 last time out in Estoril to take the fight to the final weekend of the season.

As a reminder, it is 25 points for a race win and 12 in the Superpole, meaning there are 62 points up for grabs.

That means that if Toprak wins Race 1 on Saturday he will be crowned champion, even if Bulega finishes second. The gap will have increased to 44 points with only 37 left to race for.

Of course, by definition, because of the number of points available after Race 1, it means that as long as Toprak finishes ahead of Bulega inside the top four, he will be crowned champion.

Should Bulega finish between fifth and 14th, Toprak needs to ensure he finishes no more than two places behind him.

And should Bulega finish 14th or lower, Toprak will be crowned champion regardless.

Is Jonathan Rea retiring at the end of the 2025 WSBK season?

Yes, Jonathan Rea, the record champion of World SBK will be retiring at the end of the season.

Rea announced his decision in August, saying: "If I can't race to win, then it’s time to step away. I have the same love for the sport that I had on day one, right now in this present day."

Rea will end his WSBK career with six world titles, more than anyone else, and an astonishing 119 race wins, 47 more than his nearest rival at the time of writing.

However, two-time world champion and TNT Sports expert James Toseland has speculated that this won’t be the last time we see Rea on a motorcycle.

"I can still see and hear from him when he’s talking to me, he’s still wanting to ride a motorcycle in whatever form or fashion, whether he’s a test rider or if he wants to compete and go to World Endurance… because they’re two different things," said Toseland.

"Being a test rider just to develop a motorcycle is a completely different mindset to actually the lights going out and you’ve got to get a result and overtake people, and risk everything.

"We will see, but we haven’t seen the last of Jonathan on a motorcycle just yet."

There had been speculation that Rea had offers from other teams in WSBK with his Yamaha contract expiring at the end of the season, but now that has switched to possible endurance racing. There has been no confirmation as yet.

Hodgson: Toprak for title and Rea for podium

Ahead of the highly anticipated finale, we caught up with TNT Sports expert Neil Hodgson to get his take on all the drama that could unfold over the weekend.

And the former WSBK world champion thinks the nature of the Jerez circuit means it is likely to be an absolute thriller.

"The World Superbikes is going down to the final round, which is always a bonus. And it's your last chance to watch two of the most talented motorcycle racers I've ever seen," Hodgson said.

"One is Jonathan Rea, obviously he's bowing out after six world titles. What an incredible career. The GOAT. The greatest of all time.

"He was that good he made World Superbikes boring for quite a number of years. And he is bowing out with respect, as in, he’s not battling for 10th every weekend and really injured.

"And obviously Toprak is moving to MotoGP. It's definitely going to be MotoGP’s gain, World Superbikes’ loss.

"What a talented rider he is. He’s one of my favourite riders I've ever seen."

As for the title showdown, which way does he see it going?

"I know Toprak’s got a decent lead in the championship. I'm Team Toprak. I want him to win, [and] I think he'll win anyway. Nothing against Bulega, but I'm just more of a Toprak fan," Hodgson added.

"The beauty of Jerez is everybody knows the track really well. There's no long straights, so basically, the faster bikes like the BMW and the Ducati don't quite have the advantage they have at some of the other places.

"So I expect to see Alex Lowes will be in the mix, definitely, on the Bimota. And I think Jonathan [Rea] on his last race weekend will pull something magical out of the hat. I would love to see him get on the podium. I think it's possible."

Other 2026 WSBK rider announcements

The major move aside from Rea’s retirement is the announcement earlier in the season that - win or lose the title - Toprak will be moving to MotoGP next season.

He will be going on to race for Pramac Yamaha alongside Jack Miller with fans excited to see how he fares.

We recently had more confirmation on other seats, with Miguel Oliveira swapping places with Toprak and joining BMW in WSBK.

Honda HRC also confirmed their line-up with Jake Dixon and Somkiat Chantra coming in.

All the factory seats are now allocated, but we have six independent seats remaining that are yet to be confirmed at the time of writing.
