After winning millions of hearts, attracting a massive audience in 2023 at Greater Noida’s Buddh International Circuit, the biggest motorsport MotoGP might not come to India next year. Yes, you read it right.
Despite having a massive cult following for the sport, organisers have not listed the Indian Grand Prix on its provisional calendar for the 2026 season. Those who were waiting for this year’s race will not be able to witness the adrenaline rush on track as official postponed the event, citing “operational circumstances,”.
Here’s What Top Official Says
While expressing the views about the same, Dorna Sport in a statement said, “Operational circumstances have obliged the event to be delayed from its initial slot near the start of the 2025 calendar. With no available dates towards the end of the season, MotoGP will therefore return to India in the early stages of 2026.”
In addition, Dorna said, “Both MotoGP and InvestUP are working hard to bring MotoGP back to Buddh International Circuit with a world-class event and are committed to confirming India as a destination for global sporting events,” the statement said.
