MADRID, Spain – MotoGP has taken another major step towards securing its long-term future after the MotoGP Group confirmed that all 11 premier-class teams have signed participation agreements for the 2027–2031 FIM MotoGP World Championship.
The landmark agreement, which follows the recently announced commitment from all MotoGP manufacturers, completes the governance and commercial framework that will underpin the championship throughout the first five years of the new technical regulations beginning in 2027.
The agreements guarantee the continued participation of every current MotoGP team through the end of the 2031 season:
- Aprilia Racing
- BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP
- Ducati Lenovo Team
- Honda HRC Castrol
- LCR Honda
- Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP
- Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team
- Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP
- Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
- Red Bull KTM Tech3
- Superfile Trackhouse MotoGP Team
The announcement provides unprecedented stability for the premier class as MotoGP prepares to usher in sweeping technical changes in 2027, including new engine regulations and revised sporting rules.
With both manufacturers and teams now committed, MotoGP has established a solid foundation for its next chapter.
The new agreements reinforce the role of independent and factory teams as key stakeholders in shaping the championship’s future, while providing greater commercial certainty to encourage long-term investment across sporting performance, fan engagement and global business development.
MotoGP also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining 11 equal teams, each with its own unique identity, history and brand, ensuring greater competitive diversity and stronger storytelling for fans worldwide.
One of the major elements of the new framework is an expanded commitment to promotion and marketing across the entire paddock.
Teams will take on enhanced promotional responsibilities designed to raise the global profile of riders, teams and the championship itself, creating stronger fan engagement while opening new commercial opportunities across international markets.
The initiative aims to strengthen each team’s individual identity while bringing supporters closer to the personalities and stories that define MotoGP.
MotoGP Group CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta described the agreement as one of the most significant milestones in the championship’s modern history.
“The signing of this agreement with the Teams marks a defining moment for MotoGP, establishing the framework that will guide the championship through to at least 2031.”
Ezpeleta highlighted the collaborative effort between MotoGP, manufacturers, teams and the FIM in creating a stable future for the sport.
“This agreement provides greater stability for the teams while reinforcing their central role within the championship. Combined with enhanced promotional commitments, it will bring fans closer to the action and strengthen MotoGP’s global appeal.”
He also thanked every team for its cooperation throughout negotiations, adding that the shared objective remains delivering the world’s best and safest motorcycle racing while continuing to expand MotoGP’s international audience.
IRTA President Lucio Cecchinello hailed the agreement as a major breakthrough for every team on the MotoGP grid.
“This agreement represents a very important step forward, giving all teams the stability, confidence and resources needed to continue investing in long-term, high-level sporting projects.”
Cecchinello also revealed that the deal lays the groundwork for future extensions beyond 2031, ensuring the championship can continue building on its long-term vision.
“The process required time, responsibility and collaboration from everyone involved, but the final outcome is extremely positive for the future of our sport and for the world-class entertainment MotoGP continues to deliver.”
With manufacturers and teams now fully aligned through 2031, MotoGP has secured unprecedented long-term stability ahead of one of the biggest regulatory resets in its history.
Combined with recently announced sporting reforms—including the removal of front holeshot devices, revised starting grid layouts, and limits on manufacturer entries from 2028—the championship is positioning itself for a new era focused on closer racing, enhanced safety, stronger commercial growth and deeper global fan engagement.
As the 2027 regulations approach, MotoGP enters its next chapter with every stakeholder united behind a common vision: delivering an even more competitive, sustainable and globally appealing premier motorcycle racing championship.
