The iconic Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix will soon transition from its long-time home at Phillip Island to a vibrant new street circuit in Adelaide. This historic shift marks the first time MotoGP will bring its high-speed excitement to the heart of a city.

Slated for November 2027, the agreement between MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group and South Australia's state government ensures Adelaide will host the prestigious event for a six-year run, revolutionizing how fans experience the thrilling races while maintaining rigorous safety standards.

The decision comes after negotiation challenges with Victoria's government, opting against shifting the race to Melbourne's Albert Park. As Phillip Island prepares for its farewell run, racers and fans anticipate a new era of motorcycle racing in Adelaide's bustling streets.
