MotoGP has officially unveiled the calendar for the 2027 season, a championship set to mark one of the most significant changes in the recent history of the premier class. There will be 22 Grand Prix races spread across five continents, from March to November, in a season that will see the debut of the new generation of 850cc prototypes.
The World Championship will get underway at the weekend of 5–7 March in Thailand, with Buriram once again set to kick off the season. Just one week later, the paddock will move to Qatar, to the Lusail circuit, before tackling one of the most exciting parts of the entire calendar.
In April, the MotoGP will indeed cross the Atlantic for an extended American leg of the season. On 4 April, the race will take place in Goiânia, Brazil, whilst just seven days later will come one of the major new additions for 2027: the Argentine Grand Prix in Buenos Aires. The World Championship will arrive at the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez, bringing MotoGP straight to the Argentine capital. The American leg of the season will conclude on 25 April in Austin with the United States Grand Prix.
The long European season will get under way in May. Jerez will host the Spanish Grand Prix on 9 May, followed by Le Mans on 16 May. Two weeks later comes one of the events most eagerly awaited by the Italian public: the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, scheduled for 28 to 30 May.
From Tuscany, the World Championship will move on to Barcelona, where the Catalan Grand Prix is scheduled for 13 June, before heading to Assen on 27 June. July, meanwhile, will feature two consecutive races: Sachsenring on 11 July and Brno on 18 July. The Czech Republic will therefore be the final stop before the summer break.
The championship will resume on 15 August at Silverstone. Next up is the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, with the Austrian Grand Prix scheduled for the weekend of 27–29 August.
September will also be of particular significance for the Italian public. From 10 to 12 September, MotoGP will return to the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix. Just one week later, on 19 September, it will already be time to get back on track at MotorLand Aragón.
The final European race before the World Championship’s final phase will be at Portimão, with the Portuguese Grand Prix scheduled for 1–3 October.
From that moment on, a veritable intercontinental marathon will begin, one that could prove decisive in the title race. On 17 October, the Japanese Grand Prix will take place at Motegi, followed just one week later by the race at Sepang in Malaysia. On 31 October, it will be Mandalika’s turn to host the Indonesian Grand Prix.
But one of the defining moments of the 2027 MotoGP season could well take place at the penultimate round of the season.
On 14 November, the World Championship will make its debut in Adelaide. Australia will drop Phillip Island from the 2027 calendar to welcome MotoGP to the new street circuit in Adelaide, with the Grand Prix scheduled for 12–14 November. It will be one of the most radical changes of the season and will come just as the world championship battle could be entering its decisive phase.
The curtain will finally fall in Spain. From 26 to 28 November, the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia will host the twenty-second and final round of the championship, retaining its role as the venue for the season’s grand finale.
However, the 2027 calendar tells only part of the story of the transformation that lies ahead for MotoGP. The next championship will, in fact, coincide with the introduction of the new technical regulations and 850cc bikes, making the mix of historic circuits, modern tracks and completely new circuits even more exciting.

There are two dates in Italy that are well worth noting straight away: Mugello, 28–30 May, and Misano, 10–12 September.
