MotoGP will race in Germany until 2031. A new five-year agreement confirms the iconic Sachsenring will remain on the calendar, ready to continue setting records as the single biggest sporting event in Germany – with attendance surpassing 250,000 fans.
As MotoGP continues its ascent, the championship has ambitious targets for growth in both new and more established markets. The biggest economy in Europe is an important stage for the most exciting sport on Earth and all its stakeholders.
Michael Kretschmer, Prime Minister of Saxony: “Saxony is motor racing country. We support the Sachsenring because we want to support the Southwest Saxony region, and because we love motorsport. It is fantastic to hear the news that we will be able to watch the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring until at least 2031. We have a long history of motor racing in this region. In 2027, we will celebrate our 100-year anniversary at the Sachsenring. The new record attendance at the weekend showed once again how much we love motor racing in Saxony. It also reveals that the allure of this important race and the Sachsenring reaches far beyond Saxony. I would like to thank everyone involved in securing the future of the Motorcycle Grand Prix here in the Free State of Saxony, helping to drive and strengthen motor racing in Germany as a whole.”
Dr. Gerd Ennser, ADAC Sport President: “MotoGP at the Sachsenring is the most significant national motor racing event, attracting more than a quarter of a million fans. We aim to continue this success story and have reached early agreement with MotoGP to ensure that the Grand Prix will take place at the Sachsenring in the long term. The event is enormously popular throughout the region. We will be able to continue to stage the Grand Prix in Saxony thanks to the excellent cooperation with Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer and the state government of Saxony.”
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports: “We’re delighted to announce we’ll be racing in Germany until 2031. It’s an important market for MotoGP and a fantastic event for the quarter of a million fans who join us at the Sachsenring to break records year-on-year. We’re looking forward to setting more benchmarks together with the promoter, the ADAC, and want to thank them and the Government of Saxony for their commitment to MotoGP. We must also thank the fans for making it such an incredible event.”
