MotoGP has held a race at Silverstone every year since returning to the track in 2010. During that time, the circuit claims to have attracted more than 2 million fans.
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP Group, said: “The UK has a rich motorcycle racing heritage and remains one of the most important markets for MotoGP. Since returning to Silverstone in 2010, we have built a strong partnership and together delivered some unforgettable British Grand Prix weekends.
“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.”
Silverstone has a contract to stage Formula 1 (F1) races until 2034 after agreeing a 10-year extension with the elite motor racing series in 2024.
Late last year, the circuit agreed a deal to host F1 Academy, the all-female development category, for the first time this season.
The race made its debut at Silverstone in early July alongside F1’s British Grand Prix.
Last month, MotoGP also announced that races will continue to be staged at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia until 2031 after a new contract was finalized with the country’s government.
In June, meanwhile, MotoGP struck a renewed deal with Northeastern Spain’s Aragon Government for the Aragon Grand Prix race to take place at the MotorLand Aragon circuit next year.
In other key recent developments, the series extended membership agreements through to 2031 with all 11 of its participating teams, which came quickly after a new framework agreement – for the same period – was reached with the five participating MotoGP manufacturers.
The 11 teams are all now confirmed as MotoGP participants for the next five years.
Meanwhile, the ‘concorde’ commercial agreement lays out the competitive and commercial governance of the next cycle of MotoGP racing, ensuring the promotion and its competing manufacturers will continue to collaborate for the competitive and commercial advancement of the sport.
The 2026 season got underway at the start of March in Thailand and runs through until the final race of the season in Valencia, Spain, in late November.
