Unfortunately, there's some bad news for fans anticipating the roar of MotoGP bikes at the Brno circuit in 2025. The Brno circuit is no longer part of the MotoGP calendar. The last MotoGP race at Brno took place in 2020. While there have been discussions about a potential return in the future, as of October 26, 2023, there are no confirmed plans for a MotoGP race at Brno in 2025 or any foreseeable future.
This is a significant loss for Czech Republic motorsport fans and the MotoGP community as a whole. The Brno circuit, with its rich history and challenging layout, held a special place in the hearts of riders and spectators alike. Many memorable races and iconic moments were etched into the history of the track.
What Happened to the Brno Circuit?
The absence of Brno from the MotoGP calendar is primarily due to a combination of factors:
- Track Improvements & Upgrades: The circuit required significant upgrades to meet the modern safety standards demanded by MotoGP. These upgrades proved too costly for the circuit owners.
- Negotiations and Contractual Issues: Negotiations between the circuit's management and Dorna Sports (MotoGP's commercial rights holder) failed to reach a mutually agreeable agreement for continued participation in the championship.
- Shifting Calendar Dynamics: The MotoGP calendar is constantly evolving, with new tracks being added and others dropping off due to a variety of factors. Brno unfortunately fell outside of the long-term plans for the championship.
Where Can I Watch MotoGP Races in 2025?
While Brno is off the calendar, the MotoGP World Championship continues to thrive with an exciting and varied schedule.

The Future of MotoGP in the Czech Republic?
Although Brno is no longer hosting MotoGP races, the possibility of future events in the Czech Republic remains.
