KTM COMMITS TO MOTOGP™ FUTURE WITH FRESH FIVE-YEAR COMMITMENT
MotoGP Group and the five Manufacturers – KTM, Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, and Yamaha – have confirmed today that the agreement defining the sport’s framework from 2027 to 2031 has been signed.
It marks a historic milestone for MotoGP and the Manufacturers within the MSMA, as for the first time in the sport’s history they have all signed a single agreement covering the next five years of racing. This demonstrates a shared commitment to shaping an exciting future for the championship and underlines a unified vision for its next phase, confirming the long-term presence of all current Manufacturers on the grid.
The agreement is built on strong alignment between MotoGP and the Manufacturers across the key pillars of the sport. It results from a collective negotiation process focused on the best interests across sporting, technical and commercial dimensions, establishing a framework that ensures competitiveness, technological relevance and the continued global appeal of the championship, underpinned by a clear long-term vision.
In parallel, MotoGP and the 11 Teams have agreed the principal terms for the 2027–2031 period, with the announcement being made in due course. This sport-wide framework will define the regulatory, sporting and commercial foundations for the next phase of MotoGP’s evolution, marking an important milestone and further strengthening the championship.
As part of this process, MotoGP, the Manufacturers, the Teams and the FIM are working collectively to identify opportunities to enhance both technical and sporting aspects of the championship, ensuring a continued focus on safety as well as delivering an even stronger product for fans. This shared approach will guide MotoGP’s continued progression while preserving the DNA that defines it as the pinnacle of motorcycle racing.
MotoGP will continue to invest in its global platform - including promotion, fan engagement and commercial development - as part of a shared ambition and commitment from the Manufacturers to drive long-term growth and further enhance the value of the championship for fans, partners and stakeholders worldwide.
KTM officially entered MotoGP with a wildcard appearance at the end of the 2016 season before the introduction of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team from 2017. Since the beginning of 2019, and an alliance with Tech3 Racing, there have been four KTM RC16s in the running from the 22 premier class motorcycles.
KTM have stretched their involvement in Grand Prix to include Moto3™ and Moto2™ representation and through their 20-year union with the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup have helped the progression of future champions. KTM have won Grands Prix in every division as well as titles in Moto3 and Moto2; the haul includes 7 triumphs in MotoGP (& 3 Sprint wins) and a total of 38 premier class Grand Prix and 26 Sprint podium appearances with six different riders.
