MOTOGP 2027 AT THE RED BULL RING SET FOR LATE AUGUST, WITH NO TICKET PRICE INCREASE

MotoGP’s 2027 calendar at the Red Bull Ring is set: after an experiment that moved the Austrian round from mid-August to mid-September, the series will return to August. Speedweek reports that the MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group (formerly Dorna) had shifted the date to avoid clashing with the summer holiday period, but the outcome has been judged unsuccessful.

Attendance figures underline the decision. After the 2025 edition, when spectator numbers fell, the organizers looked for reasons and then changed the timing. While the race weekend still delivered the usual high standard of racing and, according to the report, favorable autumn weather on Saturday and Sunday, the total crowd was down again. Only 101,500 fans attended across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with roughly 46,000 present for Sunday’s Grand Prix.

For 2027, the Austrian round will be staged back in August on the last weekend of the month—27 to 29 August—marking a return to the previous scheduling approach. The report also states that there will be no ticket price increases for the 2027 event.

Beyond the race itself, the Red Bull Ring is expected to offer a “rich and spectacular” event program, with further details to be released gradually. Ticket sales for MotoGP 2027 are scheduled to begin during Monday, 20 September, via the circuit’s online ticket shop. Speedweek adds that tickets for other motorsport events at the venue—DTM (23–25 April) and Formula 1 (9–11 July)—are already available.
