MotoGP will keep one of its most demanding circuits on the calendar a little longer. The Aragon Grand Prix has been confirmed for 2027 after a new agreement between the Government of Aragon and MotoGP, announced on 10 June at an event in Zaragoza.
The renewal guarantees racing at MotorLand Aragon, near Alcaniz, for one more season. Beyond that, the circuit will not disappear entirely: it becomes an official reserve venue from 2028 through 2031, on standby should the championship need a replacement date.
"MotorLand Aragon has been an important partner for MotoGP for almost two decades, playing a key role in the championship's presence in Spain," said MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta. "The renewal for 2027 reflects both the strength of that partnership and the value the event brings to the region. We are very pleased to continue working together and to keep Aragon as part of the MotoGP family in the years ahead as a reserve circuit."
Aragon's regional president, Jorge Azcon, framed the deal as a win for the area. "We are pleased to confirm that the Aragon Grand Prix will return next year. Motorcycles will once again roar around the Alcaniz circuit in 2027," he said. "MotorLand will also continue to be linked to MotoGP between 2028 and 2031 as a reserve venue."
The numbers explain the enthusiasm. Staging the Grand Prix represents an investment of 12 million euros, and MotorLand generates close to 50 million euros in direct and indirect economic impact each year — nearly half of it tied directly to the MotoGP weekend. More than 110,000 fans attend across the three days, many travelling from elsewhere in Spain and abroad, filling hotels and restaurants that often reach capacity.
The confirmation comes with a catch elsewhere on the schedule. According to Italian outlet GPOne, the calendar reshuffle means Hungary will skip a year in 2027 — only months after Balaton Park made its debut as a MotoGP host, staging the race where Marc Marquez took his 100th career victory. Several other venues are still waiting on confirmation of their 2027 slots as Dorna finalises the layout.
For the riders, MotorLand's appeal is straightforward: a long back straight feeding a heavy braking zone, fast direction changes and a technical final sector that rewards precision. It has produced some of the calendar's more memorable races since first appearing in 2010, and it will get at least one more before stepping into the background.
