WorldSBK is heading to China for the first time ever in 2027
WorldSBK has revealed a 12-round calendar for 2027, which includes a return to Valencia and the championship’s debut in China.
WorldSBK has confirmed its full 2027 calendar which includes a final visit to Phillip Island, and a debut for the series in China.
The 2027 season will get underway at Phillip Island on February 19-21, before heading to Portimao, one month later.
WorldSBK is not the only two-wheel championship that’s set to move away from Phillip Island, with MotoGP heading to a new street circuit in Adelaide next season.
But unlike MotoGP, WorldSBK has not yet confirmed a replacement venue for Phillip Island, should the series continue racing down under beyond 2027.
Following round two of the season in Portimao, WorldSBK will welcome back Valencia for the first time since 2010.
The Circuit Ricardo Tormo will host the series on April 2-4, as well as the WorldSSP, WorldSPB and WorldWCR championships.
Valencia is one of two Spanish venues featured on the 2027 calendar, with MotorLand Aragon set to host round five.
Sandwiched between the two Spanish races will be a trip to Assen on April 16-18, while round six will take place at the Autodrom Most, on June 4-6.
Following a stop at Misano for round seven (June 18-20), WorldSBK will then head to Donington Park for round eight on July 9-11.
Magny-Cours, Cremona, and Estoril will then follow before WorldSBK heads to China (October 29-31) for the first time ever.
The series will race at the famous Shanghai International Circuit, a former MotoGP venue that currently hosts the Formula 1 World Championship.
Below is the full 2027 calendar.
