WorldSBK reveals provisional 2027 calendar

WorldSBK will visit three continents and nine countries in 2027, with the provisional calendar featuring 12 rounds and a number of changes from this season.

The campaign gets underway at Phillip Island on 19-21 February, with WorldSBK and WorldSSP opening the season in Australia.

It will be WorldSBK’s final visit to Phillip Island before the Australian Round moves to The Bend from 2028. An official WorldSBK and WorldSSP test will take place at the circuit on 15-16 February ahead of the opening round.

The Championship then returns to Europe at Portimao on 19-21 March, where WorldSPB and WorldWCR will also begin their 2027 seasons. Both classes will test at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve on 15 March.

The Circuit Ricardo Tormo will return to the WorldSBK calendar for the first time since 2010, hosting the third round of the season on 2-4 April.

The Valencia circuit previously hosted WorldSBK between 2000 and 2010 and will become the second Spanish venue on the 2027 calendar alongside MotorLand Aragón.

Jerez will not feature next season due to ongoing renovation work.

WorldSBK will then head to Assen in April before returning to Aragón in May. Most and Misano follow in June, with Donington Park hosting the final round before the summer break on 9-11 July.

The 2027 Donington Park weekend will also mark the WorldSPB class’s first appearance at the Leicestershire circuit.

After the summer break, the Championship returns at Magny-Cours in early September before heading to Cremona later in the month.

Estoril will host the final European round on 15-17 October and will also bring WorldSPB’s eight-round campaign to a close.

The 2027 WorldSBK season will conclude in China, with the Shanghai International Circuit hosting the final round on 29-31 October.

It will be WorldSBK’s first visit to China, with Shanghai becoming the 12th and final round of the campaign.

WorldSBK and WorldSSP will contest the full 12-round season, with WorldSSP joining WorldSBK at every round.

The FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship will contest six rounds alongside WorldSBK in 2027.

WorldWCR will begin its season at Portimao before travelling to Valencia, Most and Misano.

Following the summer break, Magny-Cours will host the penultimate round before the championship concludes at Cremona on 24-26 September.
