For 2021, he competed in the British Superbike Championship class aboard a BMW M1000RR, initially with superbike teammate Xavi Forés for new team FHO Racing, formed from some elements of Hickman's old team Smiths Racing, which closed at the end of the 2020 season. He continued with the same team during 2022, and again into 2023 with a teammate, Josh Brookes.

Hickman started TT racing in 2014. He won two in 2018, three in 2019, followed by four in 2022 and 2023, following the resumption of TT racing after two years of no Isle of Man TT events during COVID-19 travel restrictions. The tally of four wins in one week of racing has only been achieved by two other riders, Phillip McCallen and Michael Dunlop, and Ian Hutchinson who scored five in 2010. Hickman has 13 TT victories in total, which puts him in 9th on the all-time winners list.

Hickman currently holds the all-time lap record at the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, set in 2023 during the Superstock TT race 2, with an average of 136.358 mph (219.447 km/h) over the 37.73 mi (60.72 km) long race circuit.
