Next year’s British MotoGP round will be held in August.
After this year’s May date, the British MotoGP will return to August for 2026. An announcement on race day at Silverstone confirmed that next year’s event will take place from 7-9 August. Initially held in June, the Silverstone round took place in August or early September from 2013-2024. The move to an earlier May date for this season was justified on the grounds of becoming the first of Silverstone’s three ‘major’ events each year, with the Formula 1 Grand Prix in July and the Silverstone Festival in late summer. However, already meagre crowd numbers look to have suffered a further blow, partly attributed to a clash with other major motorsport events such as the Monaco F1 Grand Prix, Indianapolis 500 and practice for the Isle of Man TT starting on Monday. The official 2025 British Grand Prix attendance will be announced just before this afternoon’s MotoGP race.
