MotoGP Unveils 22‑Round 2027 Calendar

Teams and manufacturers face logistical and technical change from new venues alongside a planned switch to 850cc engines.

Overview

  • The MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group published the official 2027 calendar on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, confirming a 22‑race season that runs from March in Buriram, Thailand to a late‑November finale in Valencia.
  • The schedule adds Buenos Aires and an Adelaide event that replaces Phillip Island, removes Balaton Park in Hungary, and moves the Austrian round at the Red Bull Ring back into late August.
  • Organizers set a long European block of roughly May through October with 12 European race weekends and a single Asian triple‑header in October at Motegi, Sepang and Mandalika.
  • MotoGP has reported a major technical rule change for 2027 that will replace current 1000cc premier‑class engines with 850cc units, a shift that will require manufacturers and teams to redesign bikes and revise development plans.
  • The Sachsenring will host the German Grand Prix on 9–11 July 2027 as part of its 100th‑anniversary celebrations, and promoters are testing promotional formats such as a semi‑permanent city circuit in Adelaide to broaden fan access and broadcast appeal.
