Saturday's programme now features just one race following the cancellation of the first sidecar race of the meeting, when the class was suspended from the 2026 event.
The suspension on safety grounds followed a review of a crash during qualifying that left reigning sidecar champions Ryan and Callum Crowe in hospital.
Racing at the 2026 Isle of Man TT is set to continue until 6 June, when the event culminates with the six-lap Senior TT.
