Silverstone to Host British MotoGP Through 2028
Silverstone will remain the home of the British MotoGP for at least two more seasons after MotoGP and the iconic British circuit agreed to extend their partnership through 2028.
The agreement guarantees that the British Grand Prix will remain on the FIM MotoGP World Championship calendar for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, securing Silverstone's place as one of the championship's most important venues.
The announcement was made ahead of the 2026 British Grand Prix and underlines MotoGP's commitment to maintaining a strong presence in the United Kingdom.
For Winbox Racing, the extension is significant news for MotoGP fans, as Silverstone will continue to provide one of the championship's most historic and unpredictable races.
MotoGP and Silverstone Extend Partnership
The new agreement extends the relationship between MotoGP and Silverstone through the end of the 2028 season.
Silverstone returned to the MotoGP calendar in 2010 and has since become a regular fixture on the world championship schedule. According to Silverstone and MotoGP, the circuit has welcomed more than two million fans since MotoGP returned to the venue.
The extension is also designed to support continued investment in the British Grand Prix, including improvements to the overall fan experience and efforts to expand MotoGP's audience in the UK and internationally.
Silverstone Remains a Key MotoGP Venue
Silverstone's position on the MotoGP calendar is strengthened by its unique character.
The Northamptonshire circuit is known for its long, fast layout and has produced some of the closest and most unpredictable racing in recent MotoGP history.
MotoGP says the last 11 British Grands Prix held at Silverstone have produced 11 different winners, highlighting just how competitive the event has become.
That unpredictability has helped make the British Grand Prix one of the standout weekends of the MotoGP season.
British Grand Prix Confirmed for 2027 and 2028
The extension means British MotoGP fans can look forward to seeing the championship return to Silverstone in both 2027 and 2028.
Silverstone has already confirmed that the 2027 British Grand Prix will take place in August, although the exact race weekend is yet to be announced.
Silverstone Targets a Bigger Fan Experience
The extended partnership is not simply about keeping Silverstone on the calendar.
MotoGP and the circuit have stated their intention to continue developing the event, improving the experience for spectators and growing the championship's audience across Britain and beyond.
Silverstone CEO Stuart Pringle described the agreement as a renewed commitment to two-wheel racing, while MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta highlighted the importance of the UK as a motorcycle-racing market.
The circuit will therefore remain an important platform for MotoGP's commercial and sporting ambitions in the UK.
Why the Silverstone Extension Matters for MotoGP
The United Kingdom has a long and important motorcycle-racing heritage, making the British Grand Prix an important event for MotoGP.
Keeping Silverstone on the calendar through 2028 provides stability for fans, teams, manufacturers and commercial partners.
It also gives MotoGP the opportunity to continue building the British event at a time when the championship is expanding its global audience.
Silverstone is already one of the world's best-known motorsport venues, hosting major championships including Formula 1 and other international racing series. The circuit says the FIA World Endurance Championship will also join its major-event programme from 2027.
British MotoGP Has a Secure Future
With the new agreement in place, the future of the British MotoGP at Silverstone looks secure for the next two seasons.
The 2027 and 2028 races will give MotoGP another opportunity to showcase its premier-class riders at one of the fastest and most demanding circuits on the calendar.
For fans, it means more opportunities to watch MotoGP's leading riders battle through Silverstone's famous corners and high-speed sections.
Winbox Racing Verdict
The decision to extend the Silverstone MotoGP deal until 2028 is a major boost for British motorsport.
Silverstone has established itself as a modern MotoGP classic, combining a historic venue with highly competitive racing. With 11 different winners across the last 11 British Grands Prix at the circuit, the event continues to deliver the unpredictability that makes MotoGP so compelling.
The new agreement guarantees that the British Grand Prix will remain part of the championship through 2028, giving fans in the UK plenty more premier-class action to look forward to.
