Silverstone will remain home to MotoGP's British Grand Prix until at least 2028 after the circuit and MotoGP agreed a new two-year contract covering the 2027 and 2028 seasons, both sides confirmed on 6 August 2026 (MotoGP.com; BBC Sport).

The extension keeps Britain on the calendar of motorcycling's premier world championship — the FIM MotoGP World Championship, the top tier of international motorcycle road racing — for at least three more seasons, including the current campaign.

Stuart Pringle, CEO of Silverstone, said the extension reflects the circuit's commitment to two-wheel racing (BBC Sport). Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP Group, pointed to the UK's deep motorcycle racing heritage and described it as one of the series' most important markets (BBC Sport).

Silverstone is already one of the busiest circuits in world motorsport. It hosts Formula 1's British Grand Prix — secured until 2034 under a deal announced in February 2024 (Silverstone) — and the European Le Mans Series, a sportscar endurance championship. It will also return to the FIA World Endurance Championship schedule in 2027, bringing the top class of long-distance sportscar racing back to the Northamptonshire venue (BBC Sport).

The MotoGP news comes during a period of sweeping change for the championship. A new era of rider movement is underway for 2027, with confirmed transfers involving Pedro Acosta, Francesco Bagnaia, Jorge Martín and Marc Márquez reshaping the grid (Silverstone). Ai Ogura, the Japanese rider currently with Trackhouse Aprilia, will move to Yamaha's factory team for 2027 and 2028 (Silverstone). Márquez, meanwhile, won the German round at the Sachsenring in July, a result that earned him the revived nickname "Sachsenking" (Silverstone).

For fans, the Silverstone extension means one of MotoGP's fastest and most unpredictable venues stays put. The circuit has produced 11 different winners in its last 11 Grands Prix across all categories — a streak that makes the British round one of the hardest on the calendar to call (BBC Sport). Add in the circuit's broader motorsport portfolio and a new five-year fan-experience partnership with PepsiCo announced on 4 August (Silverstone), and Silverstone is doubling down on its status as a year-round destination for motorsport of every kind.

The 2027 season, when the new deal kicks in, will also coincide with MotoGP's regulatory reset and a dramatically reshuffled rider market — meaning Silverstone's Grand Prix could look very different by then, even if the venue stays reassuringly familiar.
