Adelaide could replace Valencia as the 2027 MotoGP final.

We are discussing the upcoming Adelaide Grand Prix in 2027. Engine scriptCarlos Izpeleta has revealed where the new round will land on the 2027 MotoGP calendar.

MotoGP’s chief sporting officer has revealed that the Grand Prix will take place at the end of the 2027 season and will take place in November.

However, he has hinted that he will start the season away from Valencia in the hope that Qatar will once again be the season opener.

Izpeleta said, “The plan is to hold the GP in November 2027, but the calendar is flexible: for example, we are trying to find out whether the inaugural Grand Prix can return to Qatar or not, but Adelaide will definitely be one of the last races.”

Although Valencia was a big event, it could be the last one and we have to think about that.

Why MotoGP decided to leave Phillip Island and go to Adelaide

In the year Despite facing backlash over the decision to leave Phillip Island at the end of the 2026 season, Izpeleta has revealed her reasons for leaving the iconic circuit.

The Spaniard cited weather challenges and wildlife disruptions at Phillip Island as reasons behind the decision.

Izpeleta added: “We had long discussions about Australia, Bend was possible, but not the right place, so we realized it was a big but exciting project and moved to the historic ex-Formula One track in Adelaide.”

We worked quickly with the FIM, running up to 37 track simulations to see if it was possible to run a general doctor there, and we came to a conclusion after a few months. As a MotoGP fan, I know very well how special the setting of Phillip Island is. But the reality is that the challenges of staying there have been many, and many do not know how many problems we have faced in recent years, or whether it is possible to avoid competition every time.

“A few years ago, we had to raise a red flag because a marshal was suffering hypothermia, let alone the animals. I think Adelaide is going to be a fantastic event, and we’re confident that we’re getting everything down to the last detail in terms of safety.”
