Silverstone has extended its agreement with MotoGP to host the British Grand Prix until at least 2028.

Silverstone returned to the MotoGP calendar in 2010, although the event was run on behalf of the non-starting Circuit of Wales until 2015.

The circuit replaced Donington when the Leicestershire track underwent major renovations at the end of the 2000s in a failed bid to host the F1 British Grand Prix.

2028 will be the 18th MotoGP race at Silverstone since its return, with only 2020 having been skipped since 2010 due to Covid.

“This extension underscores our commitment to two-wheel racing. It's not just about signing a contract; it's about reaffirming our vision,” said Silverstone CEO Stuart Pringle.

“Silverstone has proven its capability to host the pinnacle of global motorsport—from MotoGP to Formula 1 and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

“This renewed partnership secures our place as the UK's undisputed home of elite international racing. Extending our relationship is confirmation of our shared commitment to delivering the ultimate high-speed experience for fans here in Britain. 

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP Group, added: "The UK has a rich motorcycle racing heritage and remains one of the most important markets for MotoGP. Since returning to Silverstone in 2015, we have built a strong partnership and together delivered some unforgettable British Grand Prix weekends.

“Silverstone provides a fantastic stage for MotoGP, eleven different winners in the last eleven Grands Prix hosted at the circuit is a testament to the quality, competitiveness and unpredictability of racing at the circuit.

“This extension gives us the opportunity to keep investing in the event, strengthen our presence in the UK and create even more value for our fans, teams, partners and promoters over the coming years.”
