Here is a wild twist for the calendar: Red Bull is stepping up as the title sponsor for the 2026 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island. This arrangement is part of a broader partnership connecting Red Bull to MotoGP in Australia, which also secures their title sponsorship of the Australian Grand Prix when the championship moves to Adelaide starting in 2027 and continuing into 2028.
That said, next weekend's event carries a heavy wave of nostalgia. It marks the final visit of MotoGP to Phillip Island before the grand prix relocates the following year, closing out an iconic chapter for the sport. To properly celebrate both this farewell at Phillip Island and Red Bull's debut as an Australian Grand Prix title sponsor, spectators can expect a slate of fan experiences and displays. The standout attraction will be a special aerobatic display courtesy of Red Bull Air Race World Champion, Matt Hall.

As the championship gears up for its new era in Adelaide, this upcoming Red Bull Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix aims to serve as a proper final celebration at the historic circuit. Fans both locally and globally are expected to tune in as the battle on track intensifies.
Carlos Ezpeleta, the Deputy CEO of MotoGP, did not hide his enthusiasm about the deal. "We're delighted to welcome Red Bull as title sponsor of the 2026 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix," Ezpeleta stated. "Their support reflects a long-standing commitment to motorcycle racing and makes them a fitting partner for what will be a significant event for MotoGP in Australia this year and in 2027 and 2028 in Adelaide."
Ezpeleta also reflected on the venue itself, adding, "Phillip Island has played an iconic role in the history of the championship and has provided fans with many unforgettable moments over the years. As we prepare for our final visit to the circuit before beginning a new chapter, we're looking forward to celebrating another fantastic Australian Grand Prix with riders, teams and fans from around the world."
