MotoGP and Five Manufacturers Agree New Five-Year Commercial Framework

The pact secures manufacturer commitments under a reported fixed-payment model, signaling greater financial stability as new technical rules start in 2027.

Overview

  • MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group and all five factory manufacturers signed a joint commercial agreement on Friday, June 19, 2026, that runs 2027–2031 with a reported option to extend to 2036.
  • Reports say the deal replaces a revenue-share proposal with fixed annual payments of roughly €8 million per manufacturer, though detailed payment calculations and marketing obligations have not been published.
  • The manufacturers' association MSMA reached a unanimous regulatory position to match the commercial term, tying the deal to a new technical regulation cycle that begins in 2027.
  • Satellite teams negotiated separate deals with MotoGP SEG and have also signed, and the agreement lifts teams' transfer secrecy so a wave of rider confirmations is expected in the coming days.
  • The pact follows more than a year of tough talks, including a Jerez dinner boycott, and organizers say the unified contract aims to give teams clearer revenue and stronger marketing duties so they can invest in technology, talent and global growth.
