British Grand Prix MotoGP

MotoGP does return to Silverstone: the British Grand Prix MotoGP runs from 13 to 15 August 2027, as round 13 of the championship, and the circuit's deal runs through 2028. Tickets and Woodcote Fields camping are on sale; other accommodation is marked as coming soon.

Yes, MotoGP is coming back to Silverstone. The British Grand Prix MotoGP runs from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 August 2027, the date Silverstone gives on its event page and in its calendar story of 28 September 2026, where it is round 13 of the championship. In August 2026 Silverstone and MotoGP extended their deal to cover the 2027 and 2028 seasons. This is a separate weekend from the Formula 1 British Grand Prix in July, with its own tickets.

Tickets

Silverstone's ticket page (opens in a new tab) sells General Admission, grandstands and a Bike Club Package, and it shows no adult prices, so check the booking pages for those. General Admission covers the areas around the circuit and the General Admission grandstands, with under-16s at half price and under-11s free. A grandstand ticket gives you an allocated seat for Saturday qualifying and the Sunday race, and the run of all the grandstands on Friday, with under-16s at half price and under-2s free. The Bike Club Package adds the chance to display your own bike. Session times are not out yet.

Getting there and parking

Book parking with your ticket, as Silverstone says spaces are limited. Many of the car parks are on grass, up to a 30-minute walk from the main gates. Motorbikes park free at the main gate, but you still have to book a space. Blue Badge spaces are limited: buy parking, then email a copy of your badge for an access pass. Near the circuit, follow the blue public parking route and the signs, not your sat nav.

Without a car, the page we read lists one bus transfer, from Milton Keynes station on the Saturday and Sunday, to be booked in advance. It does not list the Banbury shuttle that Silverstone by train describes for Formula 1, so from Banbury plan on the drive of about 17 miles (A422 and A43) or a taxi, and check again nearer the time, as the page's map is still labelled 2026. Our Grand Prix guide has more on the roads around the circuit, though its details are for the July race.

Where to stay

When we checked in November 2026, Silverstone's MotoGP page still marked accommodation as coming soon, but its Woodcote Fields camping could already be booked: four nights from Thursday to Monday, £180 for a pitch for one or two people and £340 for up to four, with event tickets bought separately. Where to stay for Silverstone sets out the choices, including a base in Banbury, and we found no published race rates. The circuit is next to Silverstone village. Silverstone Museum was free to MotoGP ticket holders all weekend in 2026, so check whether 2027 tickets include it.
