The official Adelaide Circuit, set to host the Australian Grand Prix from 2027, was unveiled by South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas on September 17, 2026, marking a major milestone toward bringing the world’s first city-center MotoGP race to life. The previous day, on September 16, the multimedia franchise Umamusume: Pretty Derby was named an official event partner for the 2026 MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix, scheduled for October 2-4, 2026, at Mobility Resort Motegi. Earlier on September 10, MotoGP partnered with Accenture to reinvent its direct-to-fan sports streaming experience, promising multi-camera viewing, customizable race coverage, and live sports data integration, with future updates to introduce immersive experiences. This followed a September 8 statement from MotoGP deputy CEO Carlos Ezpeleta, who stressed that the new Madrid Formula 1 track is currently not suitable for MotoGP and clarified that fans should not expect to see a flood of Adelaide-style circuits on the calendar. Earlier in the month, on September 2, preparations continued for the 2026 Qatar Grand Prix at Lusail, with motorsport authorities confident that both MotoGP and F1 events will take place in November despite continuing uncertainty in the Middle East.
