The FIM Speedway Grand Prix series makes its return to Australia for the first time in 10 years as the 2027 FIM Speedway calendar is revealed.<\/p>\n

The 2027 Speedway GP series will conclude with not one, but two rounds at Gillman Speedway in Adelaide on October 29 and 30.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time the world champion has been crowned Down Under since Aussie icon Jason Doyle won the 2017 FIM Speedway GP of Australia \u2013 Melbourne at Marvel Stadium<\/a> to clinch the sport\u2019s biggest prize. It is also the first time in a decade that FIM Speedway action has taken place outside of Europe, and it marks the first time two Speedway GPs have taken place outside of Europe in a single season.<\/p>\n

Mayfield Sports Events founder Richard Coleman is delighted to take the Speedway GP series back Down Under for a high-stakes finale to the 2027 season at the country\u2019s top speedway venue.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOne of the main questions we have received from the fans since we acquired the championships a year ago is when we would be going back to Australia, so it is an absolute pleasure to make that dream a reality in October 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustralia won the 2025 FIM Speedway of Nations and 2026 FIM Speedway World Cup, and Brady Kurtz is very much in contention for Speedway GP gold in Torun this weekend. <\/p>\n

“This truly is a special time for Australian speedway, and there could not be a better moment to bring the series back to the country where the sport was born over 100 years ago. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Gillman Speedway, the South Australian government, Motorcycling Australia and our partners at Monster Energy and the FIM for their support in making this happen. It has been a real team effort, and this is a special day for the sport Down Under.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long-time FIM Speedway presentation sponsor Monster Energy played a pivotal role in making it possible for the Speedway GP series to make its return to Australia.<\/p>\n

Joe Parsons, director of Special Marketing Projects EMEA & Global for Monster Energy, commented: \u201cWe are all about bringing the sport to the fans and it\u2019s fair to say the Australian fans have been starved of World Championship speedway for too long. We are very pleased to play our part in bringing the FIM Speedway GP of Australia \u2013 Adelaide to Gillman, and it will make for an incredible climax to what should be an awesome series. Bring on 2027!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Adelaide events conclude an 11-round championship, which launches with two returning venues. The action gets underway with the FIM Speedway GP of Croatia \u2013 Donji Kraljevec on May 1, before the iconic PGE Narodowy hosts track racing\u2019s biggest event \u2013 the FIM Speedway GP of Poland \u2013 Warsaw on May 15 \u2013 in front of around 50,000 fans.<\/p>\n

The weekend\u2019s action will also feature round two of the FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship \u2013 the FIM SGP2 of Great Britain \u2013 Ipswich on Friday, August 13 \u2013 the first SGP2 round the UK has hosted since 2022.<\/p>\n

Following the opening rounds in Donji Kraljevec and Warsaw, the series\u2019 longest-serving venue celebrates three unbroken decades of SGP action as the FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic \u2013 Prague, which launched at Marketa Stadium in 1997, returns on May 29.<\/p>\n

Round four is scheduled for June 12 at a venue to be confirmed. Wroclaw\u2019s legendary Olympic Stadium, stage for the first-ever SGP round in 1995, hosts the FIM Speedway GP of Poland \u2013 Wroclaw on July 3.<\/p>\n

Racing returns to Latvian capital Riga, with the FIM SGP2 of Latvia \u2013 Riga opening the FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship series on Friday, July 16, and the FIM Speedway GP of Latvia \u2013 Riga taking place at Bikernieki on Saturday, July 17.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>The 2027 FIM Speedway of Nations Final and SON2 take place in Vastervik<\/p>\n

Following Ipswich\u2019s FIM Speedway weekend on August 13 and 14, the action heads for Sweden with the 2027 FIM Speedway of Nations Final \u2013 Vastervik on Saturday, August 28, which sees the sport\u2019s top seven national teams battle it out for next year\u2019s world team championship, with Sweden seeded into the event as host nation.<\/p>\n

The 2027 FIM Speedway Under-21 world champion will also be crowned there on Friday, September 10 in the FIM SGP2 of Denmark \u2013 Vojens.<\/p>\n

The ninth and final European round takes place at Torun\u2019s Marian Rose Motoarena, which stages its 19th SGP, the FIM Speedway GP of Poland \u2013 Torun on September 25, before a hugely-anticipated SGP double-header at Gillman Speedway in Adelaide brings down the curtain on an exciting season.<\/p>\n

FIM Track Racing Commission (CCP) director Armando Castagna commented: \u201cThe FIM has been keen to see Speedway GP return to Australia ever since the moment we left Melbourne in 2017, so I congratulate everyone involved in achieving this goal for 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see Warsaw and Donji Kraljevec return to the calendar, and of course we welcome Ipswich as a host club for the first time for what I am sure will be a very special event at Foxhall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish all of our riders, teams, local organisers and our partners at Mayfield Sports Events a successful season in 2027, but first, we must find out who will be crowned 2026 Speedway GP world champion in Torun tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

MSE founder Coleman concluded: \u201cWhile we are preparing for an exciting end to the Speedway GP world title race this evening, the hard work has already started on a big season of racing in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to welcome Warsaw and Donji Kraljevec back on to the SGP calendar for 2027, and it\u2019s a pleasure to continue working with our local organisers in Prague, Wroclaw, Riga, Vojens and Torun once again. We also look forward to taking the SON Final and SON2 to Vastervik, with SGP events taking place there in 2028 and 2029.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also be exciting to see the best riders in the world head to Ipswich\u2019s Foxhall Stadium for what I am sure will be an unforgettable weekend for motorsport fans from Suffolk and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank all of our local organisers for their hard work in 2026 and stay tuned for more exciting news as attention turns to 2027 following tonight\u2019s racing in Torun.\u201d<\/p>\n
