The 2027 MotoGP season will feature 22 rounds across five continents next year, beginning March 7, 2026, at Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand. Per tradition, the season’s closing round will take place at Circuit Ricardo Tomro outside Valencia, Spain on November 28, 2026.

The total rounds match the current 2026 season, though astute MotoGP fans will note that few race weekends stay in their places on the calendar. The schedule adds the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and a street circuit in Adelaide, Australia, while Balaton Park in Hungary and Phillip Island in Australia drop off.

The Motorcycle That Explains Why Ducati Feels Different

The calendar reshuffling arrives alongside a technical overhaul, the likes we haven’t seen since the 1,000cc rule adoption since 2012. For the 2027 season, maximum engine capacity falls from 1,000cc to 850cc, aerodynamic limits tighten and Pirelli replaces Michelin as sole tire supplier. Every round keeps its Saturday sprint and Sunday Grand Prix.

Both additions sit inside major cities, while the circuits they replace are in rural and coastal settings. Buenos Aires last hosted a motorcycle Grand Prix in 1999 and succeeds Termas de Río Hondo, which held the Argentine round through 2025. Adelaide will use an adapted version of the street course that staged Formula One’s Australian Grand Prix from 1985 to 1995. The departure of Phillip Island, home of the Australian round since 1997, is the calendar’s most prominent loss. Hungary exits after two events, though organizers have said they hope to return.

The opening leg has been rebuilt. A launch event on Botafogo Beach in Rio de Janeiro precedes the season. Qatar, moved to November in 2026 because of instability in the Middle East, returns to March as Round 2. Goiânia, Brazil, and Buenos Aires follow on consecutive April weekends, and the round at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, shifts from late March to late April.

The European swing is reordered as well. Portimão, Portugal, the second-to-last race of 2026, now closes the European run in early October. Barcelona moves from May to June, Brno moves from June to July as the final race before the summer break, and Austria and Aragon trade places around the San Marino round at Misano.

Meanwhile, the year “fly away” rounds become slightly more compact. Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia run as a triple-header in October, followed by Adelaide and Valencia, each preceded by an open weekend. The calendar includes five back-to-back pairings, down from seven on the revised 2026 schedule, and runs one week shorter from first race to last.

Three rounds remain unconfirmed. The races in Argentina and Australia require homologation, or circuit approval, from the International Motorcycling Federation, and the U.S. round still needs a signed contract. Teams will debut new engines and tires in a season that includes two tracks with no MotoGP data.

MotorLand Aragón in Alcañiz, Spain, keeps its 2027 date under a new agreement with the regional government. From 2028 through 2031, it becomes the championship’s reserve venue, with no guaranteed race.

How To Watch

U.S. broadcast arrangements for 2027 have not been announced. Fox Sports has held U.S. rights since 2025 and renewed its agreement for the 2026 season, so the details below reflect current coverage and may change.

Under the current arrangement, Fox Sports airs every Saturday Sprint and Sunday Grand Prix live on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) or Fox Sports 2 (FS2). The Fox broadcast network carried the 2026 Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, making the only U.S. round available over the air.

Viewers without cable can stream races through the Fox Sports app, through Fox One, the network’s direct-to-consumer service, which starts at $19.99 a month, or through live TV services that carry FS1 and FS2, including Fubo and DirecTV.

Practice, qualifying and Moto2 and Moto3 races are available on the MotoGP Channel, a free, ad-supported streaming channel offered on platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Plex and Sling Freestream.

The most direct way to stream is via MotoGP VideoPass, the championship’s own subscription service. Every session of each Grand Prix weekend is live in HD with multiple additional camera angles available, with the ability to rewatch at will. It also includes an archive of more than 45,000 videos dating to 1992. It is sold as a season pass with pricing and other information available here.
