WorldSBK Announces Provisional 2027 Schedule
The provisional 2027 WorldSBK calendar features 12 rounds across nine countries and three continents. The season is set to open at Phillip Island in February and conclude in Shanghai in October. Valencia returns to the schedule, while Jerez is absent because of renovation work.
The 2027 WorldSBK provisional calendar lists 12 rounds spanning nine nations and three continents. It opens at Phillip Island on 19-21 February, preceded by an official test there on 15-16 February, and closes at Shanghai International Circuit on 29-31 October.
Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo returns on 2-4 April, while Jerez misses out because of renovation work. WorldSSP is set for all 12 rounds, and WorldWCR will appear at six events, starting at Portimao and ending at Cremona. Phillip Island’s 2027 visit will be its last before The Bend takes over in 2028.
The 2027 calendar could reshape travel and attendance patterns for fans, teams, and host communities. Valencia’s return may benefit local businesses near the circuit, while Jerez’s absence could disappoint Spanish supporters and affect that area’s usual race-week activity. A Shanghai finale and Phillip Island’s farewell may attract international visitors and media attention, potentially boosting hospitality and tourism. WorldSSP’s presence at all 12 rounds and six WorldWCR events may also increase visibility for those classes and their participants.
