MotoGP confirms British GP at Silverstone through 2028

MotoGP has secured the future of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, announcing a new two-year contract extension that will keep the race on the calendar through the 2028 season. The announcement was made on August 6, 2026, on the eve of the current season's British Grand Prix weekend, which begins with practice on August 7.

The agreement ends months of speculation about the event's future, as its previous contract was set to expire after the 2026 race. There had been discussions about a potential move to Donington Park, which currently hosts the World Superbike Championship. The new deal ensures Silverstone will remain the host for at least the 2027 and 2028 events, with next year's race confirmed for August.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP, stated that the United Kingdom remains one of the championship's most important markets due to its rich motorcycle racing heritage. He highlighted the circuit's competitive racing, noting there have been eleven different winners in the last eleven Grands Prix held at Silverstone. Ezpeleta said the extension provides an opportunity to continue investing in the event and strengthen MotoGP's presence in the UK for fans, teams, and partners.
