MotoGP Calendar 2027: Full Race Schedule & Dates
MotoGP Calendar 2027: Full Race Schedule & Dates
Every year, the MotoGP calendar does something quietly extraordinary. It doesn't just mark dates on a grid; it maps out a set of pilgrimages across five continents, from the dawn-lit straights of Thailand to the street circuits of Australia, where the fastest motorcycle racers on the planet will settle the World Championship. For 2027, the MotoGP calendar returns with 22 rounds, a new Australian venue, and a European summer swing that remains the most accessible stretch of the season for British fans. Whether you're planning to watch in the early hours with a coffee, arrange a viewing evening for the Americas rounds, or finally book that race-weekend trip you've been putting off, this guide gives you every date, every circuit, the UK session times, where to stream it all, and how to get there.
The 2027 MotoGP season opens in Buriram on 5 to 7 March and closes with a new finale in Adelaide on 28 November. In between, the riders cross Europe through spring and summer before a demanding late-season flyaway leg through Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Portugal, and Spain pulls the championship to its conclusion. Knowing the shape of that journey early is what separates fans who scramble for sold-out tickets and overpriced accommodation from those who experience the season on their own terms.
2027 MotoGP calendar: full 22-round schedule
The 2027 MotoGP calendar follows the structure that has served the series well in recent seasons: an early Asian and Americas sprint through March and April, a long European window from late April to mid-September, and then the flyaway rounds through Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Portugal, and Spain before the season ends in Australia. For UK travellers, the European leg, running from the Spanish Grand Prix in April through to Austria in September, represents the most practical and affordable window for attending a round in person.
One headline change for 2027 is the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix moving from Phillip Island to the Adelaide Street Circuit, making it the season finale. MotoGP has confirmed this move, and it gives the championship a street-circuit conclusion with no modern precedent in the series. Always check MotoGP.com for the latest confirmed details, as the FIM ratification process occasionally produces minor date adjustments ahead of a season.

The MotoGP calendar does occasionally shift. Venue changes, circuit homologation requirements, and promoter negotiations have all moved rounds by a week or two in previous seasons.

UK race times: when to set your alarm and when to plan your evening
The time-zone reality of a 22-round global championship is that not every race suits a relaxed Sunday afternoon on the sofa. The trick is knowing which rounds to schedule your weekend around and which are better watched on catch-up.
Asian and Pacific rounds
Asian and Pacific rounds are the demanding ones. Thailand (March), Japan (October), Indonesia (October), and Malaysia (October) all race in the early-to-mid afternoon local time. Based on typical local start times for these venues, UK viewers can generally expect races to fall in the approximate range of 04:00, 07:00 GMT, though exact times will depend on official session schedules when MotoGP publishes them. These rounds require genuine commitment. If a 05:00 alarm on a Sunday isn't realistic, TNT Sports and HBO Max both carry on-demand replays, so watching the replay Sunday morning before checking social media remains a perfectly satisfying alternative.
Americas and European rounds
Brazil (21 March) and the United States at Circuit of the Americas (28 March) tend to race in local afternoon slots, which typically translate to evening viewing for UK audiences, broadly speaking, somewhere in the 18:00, 22:00 BST range, though precise times remain subject to the official timetable. Note your diary entries for those two rounds early. Qatar (14 March, Round 2) races under floodlights in the early local evening, giving UK viewers a start time closer to 18:00, 19:00 GMT, a useful sociable slot in its own right, but distinct from the Americas time zones. European circuits are the simplest of all: most have historically used start times around 14:00 local time, which puts the race at roughly 13:00, 14:00 BST for UK viewers, subject to daylight saving differences between countries. The British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 15 August starts at 13:00 BST, the most straightforwardly civilised race start of the entire season.
Where to watch every session in the UK
TNT Sports holds the exclusive UK broadcast rights for MotoGP and carries every session of every race weekend live, including qualifying, Sprint races, and the main Grand Prix across all classes. Access TNT Sports through Sky, Virgin Media, or EE TV on a traditional television package, or through HBO Max as the dedicated streaming companion app. HBO Max carries the same live and on-demand coverage, which means a phone, tablet, or smart TV with an internet connection is all you need if you don't have a satellite dish.
For fans not ready to commit to a TNT Sports subscription, Quest and talkSPORT2 cover the season's headline moments at no cost. Quest has carried selected free-to-air coverage in recent seasons, including Sprint races and highlights, and has previously shown the British round live, though 2027 coverage details are subject to confirmation. talkSPORT2 carries live radio commentary on selected premier-class races, including Silverstone. This is not a replacement for the full TNT Sports package, but it means you won't miss the championship's biggest moments entirely.
European circuits UK fans can realistically attend in 2027
Silverstone is the obvious starting point. No flights, no currency exchange, no language barrier. The nearest mainline stations are Milton Keynes Central and Northampton, both served from London Euston, with shuttle and coach transfers running to the circuit on race weekend. The grandstand seats at Stowe and Club corners offer some of the best views of pure high-speed MotoGP racing anywhere in Europe. Book grandstand tickets as early as possible, the popular sections sell out months before the August race weekend, and accommodation in Silverstone village and Towcester fills up just as quickly.
For those who want to cross the Channel, Le Mans in late April is the most train-friendly option on the continent. Eurostar to Paris, a connecting TGV to Le Mans, and you're at the Bugatti Circuit without ever boarding an aircraft. Assen in the Netherlands in late June works similarly: London St Pancras to Amsterdam, then north by rail. The Dutch TT is one of the oldest motorcycle Grands Prix in the world, and the atmosphere in the infield is extraordinary in a way that purely modern circuits simply cannot replicate.
Mugello in May rewards the extra effort of a short flight to Florence or Bologna. The tifosi at an Italian motorcycle Grand Prix create a sensory experience that transcends sport. Jerez in April suits early-season sun seekers, with direct UK flights to Malaga followed by a straightforward transfer. Catalunya near Barcelona in May combines easy city access with a genuinely world-class circuit. Aragón in August is more remote but deeply satisfying for fans who want raw circuit atmosphere without a tourist-heavy city backdrop. Many travellers find it practical to fly into Barcelona or Madrid and continue by rail or road to Alcañiz, though Zaragoza airport is also an option worth checking depending on your departure point.
How to sync the 2027 MotoGP calendar to your phone or computer
Downloading a static PDF is useful for quick reference on the fridge or in a drawer. MotoGP.com's calendar page renders the full 22-round schedule in a table that saves as a PDF from any browser in seconds. The limitation is that a downloaded file won't update if MotoGP moves a date. That's why subscribing via the official ICS feed is the smarter approach: when MotoGP changes a session time or reschedules a round, a subscribed calendar updates automatically on your device.
MotoGP.com provides an ICS subscription link for its race calendar, check MotoGP.com directly, as an account may be required and the 2027 feed may not be published until closer to the season. Once you have the URL, adding it takes two minutes on any calendar app or device:
- Google Calendar: open Google Calendar in a browser, click the + next to Other Calendars in the left sidebar, choose From URL, paste the ICS link, and click Add Calendar.
- Apple Calendar on iPhone or iPad: go to Calendars, tap Add Calendar, select Add Subscription Calendar, paste the URL, and tap Subscribe.
- Outlook: use the Internet Calendar Subscription option, paste the ICS URL when prompted, and confirm. If your version of Outlook doesn't support direct URL subscription, download the .ics file and import it manually as a fallback.
The key distinction between subscribing and importing is that a subscription refreshes automatically. An imported file is a snapshot frozen on the day you downloaded it. Always subscribe via URL rather than importing a one-time file if you want live updates.
Attending a round in person: how a sport holiday specialist removes the complications
Attending a MotoGP round abroad is a different challenge from booking a city break. Race weekends often fill accommodation within a 30-kilometre radius of the circuit well in advance, particularly for the most popular rounds. Grandstand tickets, paddock passes, and pit lane walk sessions are sold through different official channels, often on local ticketing platforms in the host country's language. Add transfers from airports to rural circuits, travel insurance for sports events, and the logistics of a multi-day race weekend, and it is clear why many fans who attempt to book independently end up with compromises on accommodation, poor viewing angles, or missed sessions.
This is where Skylord Cruise and Holidays can make a genuine difference. As a UK-based travel specialist offering curated sport and concert holiday packages, Skylord bundles flights, circuit-adjacent accommodation, grandstand or hospitality tickets, and transfers into a single managed booking. Because MotoGP race weekends span Thursday through Sunday, Skylord's itineraries can also incorporate pre- or post-race days exploring the local destination. A trip to Jerez becomes a long weekend in Andalusia; Mugello becomes four nights in Tuscany with the Italian Grand Prix at its heart. Get in touch with the Skylord team well ahead of the round you're targeting, particularly for Silverstone, Le Mans, Mugello, and Assen, where race-weekend packages fill significantly before the event itself.

Knowing the MotoGP calendar now means you're already ahead of the crowd.
For home viewing, MotoGP.com is the definitive source for confirmed dates and the official iCal feed, while TNT Sports and HBO Max deliver every session live in the UK. Quest and talkSPORT2 cover the season's key moments for those who prefer a free-to-air option.
