Are you ready for more circuits than ever?

21 different venues across 18 different countries – MotoGP™ in 2023 is truly bigger and better than ever before

The countdown is now well underway with less than 10 days separating MotoGP™ riders, teams and, of course, fans from the start of the most historic season to date. The 2023 MotoGP™ World Championship will not only mark the 75th edition in the history of the Motorcycle World Championship but we’ll also see the 1000th Grand Prix at Le Mans in May. Plus, we’ll reach an unprecedented number of 21 Grands Prix in 21 different destinations, with 21 races and 21 MotoGP™ Sprints.

As for the calendar, this time it will be the Autódromo Internacional del Algarve in Portugal that will kick off the new season with the Portuguese Grand Prix. It will be the first season to start in European territory since 2006, and only the third season opener held in Europe in more than three decades. It will also be the first time that Portugal hosted the first race of the calendar.

However, this will not be the only change to the calendar compared to previous seasons. For example, in 2023 Indonesia will join the autumn Asian tour, instead of being the second GP of the year as in 2022, while the Catalunya GP will be held in September. Plus, the traditional first round, the Qatar GP, will be the penultimate race of the season as development work continues at the venue. All this makes the 2023 season the most innovative, longest and, above all, the most adventurous in history. Take a look at the new countries that the World Championship paddock will visit throughout the year:
