The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) together with MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group have just released the official program for the 2027 season. Twenty-two Grand Prix events will criss-cross five continents from March to November, creating the longest and most geographically diverse championship in the series’ history. Among the highlights are two brand-new venues – the historic Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires and a purpose-built street circuit in Adelaide, Australia. The schedule also retains fan-favorite classics such as Jerez, Mugello and Silverstone, while moving the Austrian round to a new August slot at the Red Bull Ring.
New chapters on the world map: Buenos Aires and Adelaide
For the first time since the early 2000s, MotoGP will race on South America’s biggest stage outside Brazil. The Buenos Aires Grand Prix arrives as Round 4, hosted at the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez, a circuit renowned for its long straights and sweeping turns that have tested legends of motor racing for decades. The event follows a season launch on Brazil’s Botafogo Beach and a Brazilian round in Goiânia, cementing MotoGP’s commitment to the continent. Adelaide will host the penultimate race of the year, marking the series’ debut on an urban layout that threads through the heart of South Australia’s capital. The street circuit promises tight corners, dramatic elevation changes and a backdrop of skyline architecture, offering riders a fresh challenge and spectators a festival-like atmosphere.
Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring – a double-header weekend
From August 27 to 29, 2027 the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Styria, will become the centre of MotoGP action. The venue, known for its blend of high-speed straights and technical corners, hosts a Sprint race on Saturday followed by the main Grand Prix on Sunday. The circuit comprises ten distinct turns – seven right-handers and three left-handers – each demanding a precise braking point and exacting line selection. Turn 1 (Niki Lauda) is unforgiving for late brake application, while Turn 3 (Interwetten) is widely regarded as the premier overtaking spot where riders can out-brake opponents under heavy deceleration.
Beyond the on-track spectacle, the Austrian weekend will feature an expanded MotoGP Fan Zone. Visitors can meet riders, snap autographs, and attend live concerts that turn the race venue into a full-scale motorsport festival. The open-air environment, combined with the natural Alpine scenery, creates an electrifying atmosphere that attracts thousands of fans each year. For those who crave hands-on experience, the Red Bull Ring also offers track-day sessions in a dedicated Driving Center, where enthusiasts can test sports cars or motorcycles under professional guidance.
Ticketing, fan activities and practical information
Tickets for the 2027 season go on sale shortly after the calendar announcement. Early-bird packages for the Austrian GP include access to the exclusive paddock club, priority seating for the Sprint and Grand Prix, and a guaranteed spot in the Fan Zone’s meet-and-greet schedule. All-access passes for Buenos Aires and Adelaide will bundle race entry with a series of cultural events, such as local music showcases and culinary tents that highlight regional flavours. Because the Red Bull Ring is an open-air circuit, spectators are advised to bring weather-appropriate clothing and consider arriving early to secure a good viewpoint, especially for Turn 9 (Jochen Rindt) where riders reach speeds over 250 km/h.
Travel logistics have been streamlined for the new venues. Buenos Aires offers direct shuttle service from the city centre to the circuit, while Adelaide’s street circuit is integrated into the city’s public-transport network, allowing fans to move between the race track and downtown attractions without a car. For the Austrian round, ample parking zones are available around the Red Bull Ring, and a dedicated bike-rental hub ensures eco-friendly mobility for attendees. With the calendar now public, fans can plan their itineraries, secure accommodation, and experience the full thrill of MotoGP’s 2027 season – a year that promises historic firsts, unforgettable battles, and a celebration of two-wheel racing at its finest.
