The 2027 MotoGP calendar has been officially released, as Motorsport.com reports, bringing a massive 22 rounds spread across 19 countries for the most international schedule in the history of the championship.
That massive itinerary includes two major new additions with Buenos Aires and Adelaide joining the mix, effectively replacing Hungary’s Balaton Park while Phillip Island loses the Australian Grand Prix. The event in Australia will now move to the semi-urban Adelaide circuit, a venue Liberty Media hopes will help attract other cities around the world.
Action gets under way at the Buriram circuit in Thailand on 7 March, exactly one month after the final pre-season tests are held there. With the ongoing conflict in the Middle East in mind, the paddock will immediately travel to Losail, which is scheduled to host the second round, before taking a one-week breather and heading across to the Americas. Qatar is under consideration, having been scheduled in the opening part of the season while the championship awaits clarification over what will happen to the race currently planned for this November. This year’s Qatar GP was originally scheduled for April but was postponed due to the Iran war, and more details on whether that event will go ahead in November are expected in the next few weeks.
Brazil will lead the second back-to-back of the season before Buenos Aires makes its return to the championship after almost three decades. The event at the Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez will take place on the second weekend of April. MotoGP then heads to Austin at the end of April before making their way back to Europe, with Jerez hosting MotoGP on 9 May, a week later than has traditionally been the case.
A total of 12 events will be held in Europe between mid-May and early October, with Portimao bringing the European leg of the season to a temporary close before MotoGP heads for Asia. Japan on 17 October, Malaysia on 24 October and Indonesia on 31 October will form the only triple-header of 2027, acting as the launchpad for the paddock’s journey towards Oceania.
Finally, Valencia, as announced earlier in the week, will once again bring the championship to a close at the end of November.
