F1 and MotoGP will share eight race weekends in 2027

Formula 1 and MotoGP have both confirmed their calendars for the 2027 season, creating eight weekends on which the two championships will race at the same time. The overlaps begin in March and continue through October, with the final month producing the highest concentration of F1-MotoGP clashes.

Formula 1 announced its 2027 schedule a few days earlier, confirming 24 race weekends and an increase to 10 Sprint events, up from six in 2026. That comparison can be checked against the 2026 Formula 1 calendar. MotoGP then officially released its own programme, featuring 22 Grands Prix across the season.

F1 and MotoGP will overlap eight times in 2027

The MotoGP calendar includes several significant changes. Argentina returns on the renovated Buenos Aires circuit, while Adelaide becomes the new home of the Australian Grand Prix, replacing Phillip Island. Hungary is also absent after Balaton Park hosted MotoGP for the previous two years.

With both calendars now confirmed, the eight weekends on which Formula 1 and MotoGP will run simultaneously are as follows:

Bahrain and Qatar create the first 2027 F1-MotoGP clash

The first overlap arrives immediately in March. Formula 1 will open its season with the Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir from 12 to 14 March, while MotoGP will be at Lusail for the Qatar Grand Prix, the second round of its championship.

The two events will also take place relatively close together in terms of timing, with both expected to fall in the afternoon for viewers in Italy.

April will create a very different situation. Formula 1’s next two Asian rounds will coincide with MotoGP races in the Americas. When F1 visits Melbourne from 2 to 4 April, MotoGP will be racing at Goiania for the Brazilian Grand Prix. One week later, Formula 1 heads to Suzuka from 9 to 11 April while MotoGP races at the Autodromo de Buenos Aires, which returns as the venue for the Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix.

Austria and Germany bring both championships back together in July

Formula 1 and MotoGP will then go several months without sharing a race weekend before the calendars overlap again in July, this time with both championships competing in neighbouring European countries.

The Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring will take place from 9 to 11 July, on the same weekend as the German MotoGP round at the Sachsenring.

The race start times will once again be close. Formula 1 is scheduled to race at 15:00, while MotoGP will use its usual 14:00 start time.

A similar situation will arise in September. Formula 1 returns to Madrid from 10 to 12 September for the Spanish Grand Prix at Madring, while MotoGP visits the Marco Simoncelli circuit at Misano for the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix.

October features three F1 and MotoGP calendar clashes

October will be the busiest month for fans following both championships, with three Formula 1 weekends overlapping with MotoGP events.

The first will also be the closest in terms of schedule. Formula 1 will race under the lights at Marina Bay for the Singapore Grand Prix from 8 to 10 October, while MotoGP heads to Portimao for the Portuguese Grand Prix.

Two more clashes follow later in the month, although the time differences between the races will be much greater. The United States Grand Prix at Austin from 22 to 24 October will take place on the same weekend as the Malaysian MotoGP round at Sepang.

One week later, from 29 to 31 October, Formula 1 will be at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the Mexican Grand Prix while MotoGP races at Mandalika in Indonesia.

Across the full 2027 season, that produces eight weekends on which Formula 1 and MotoGP fans will have to follow both championships simultaneously, with the overlaps spread across March, April, July, September and October.
