MotoGP confirms MotorLand Aragón for 2027, reserve 2028–31
Summary
In Zaragoza, MotoGP named MotorLand Aragón will host a MotoGP round in 2027 and designated the circuit as its official first-reserve venue for 2028–2031. The agreement, presented by Aragón regional president Jorge Azcón and MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta, secures a one-year active Grand Prix in 2027 rather than a long-term multi-year race contract.
As first reserve for 2028–2031, MotorLand Aragón will step in if a scheduled round cannot go ahead, formalising its role within MotoGP’s approach to rotating Spanish rounds. The limited one-year hosting commitment, together with teams’ reluctance to expand the calendar beyond the current 22 rounds, casts doubt on the planned return of the Argentine round at the upgraded Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires for 2027. Separately, Adelaide has been confirmed to replace Phillip Island as the Australian Grand Prix venue from 2027.
Organizers say the 2027 Grand Prix will cost about €12 million to stage. MotorLand Aragón, which first hosted MotoGP in 2010, typically draws more than 110,000 spectators and generates roughly €50 million a year for the region, with nearly half that annual impact tied to MotoGP activity.
MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta described the renewal as reflecting an almost two-decade partnership and stressed the event’s importance to the Aragón region, while regional president Jorge Azcón confirmed the circuit will remain linked to the championship through 2031 as a reserve venue.
