MotoGP Group and all 11 MotoGP teams signed participation agreements for the FIM MotoGP World Championship from 2027 to 2031, officials announced June 24, 2026. The agreements finalize the teams’ side of the sport’s next commercial and governance cycle, following an earlier manufacturers’ deal, securing the championship’s framework through at least 2031, according to MotoGP officials.
The teams that signed the agreement include 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, and Superbike Trackhouse MotoGP Team, the official statement confirmed.
The agreements cover the participation of 11 teams in the FIM MotoGP World Championship from 2027 through 2031, securing their involvement for the full five-year commercial cycle, according to MotoGP officials.
This announcement followed the earlier signing of a manufacturers’ agreement involving Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, KTM, and Yamaha, which had established the framework for the same 2027–2031 period, according to MotoGP’s official communications released in 2026. The manufacturers’ deal was first disclosed prior to the teams’ agreement, with the latter formally announced on June 24, 2026. Motorsport.com reported that the teams had approved the latest contract version ahead of the official ratification expected at the Brno round, indicating a two-stage completion process for the commercial cycle agreements.
MotoGP Group CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta described the signing of the teams’ agreement as a “defining moment” that would guide the championship through at least 2031, as stated in the official MotoGP release. Lucio Cecchinello, president of the International Road Racing Teams Association (IRTA), expressed satisfaction that all MotoGP teams had reached an agreement with the MotoGP Group for the 2027–2031 period and noted that the deal lays groundwork for potential future renewals beyond that term.
The agreements establish the governance and commercial structure for the championship under the new 2027 regulations, providing a “strong platform” for the sport’s next chapter, MotoGP officials said. The contracts are expected to govern relationships between the championship, teams, and manufacturers, as well as revenue-sharing arrangements involving television broadcasters, sponsors, and circuits, according to media reports and sources familiar with the negotiations.
Reports from motorsport outlets described the agreements as a MotoGP equivalent of a Concorde-style contract, reflecting a long-term commercial and governance framework. Additionally, some sources indicated that the contracts may include options to extend core provisions through 2036, though the official announcements confirmed the binding term only through 2031.
The official confirmation of the teams’ agreement was published on MotoGP’s website under the headline “MotoGP Group and all 11 teams sign 2027-2031 agreement” and was corroborated by major motorsport media outlets, including Speedweek and Sky Sport Italia. These sources reiterated the names of the teams involved and the five-year duration of the contract, aligning with the details provided by MotoGP Group.
The completion of the agreements follows a coordinated effort to finalize the commercial and governance arrangements for the sport’s upcoming cycle. The manufacturers’ agreement was announced first, followed by the teams’ agreement, marking the conclusion of a process that sets the framework for the championship’s operation through at least 2031.
The new agreements coincide with the introduction of 2027 technical regulations, which are expected to shape the competitive and commercial environment of MotoGP in the coming years. The contracts secure the participation of the current teams and manufacturers, ensuring continuity as the sport evolves under the updated rules and commercial model.
