2023 Motorcycle Race Calendars

By BeMoto

Motorcycle racing in 2023 looks to be even more exciting than ever and with many series featuring more rounds than previous years or racing in new countries and circuits. It will be more than a full time job to keep up with all the action in the 2023 Race Calendar, even if you only follow a couple of series!

Race Calendars covered (scroll down):

MotoGP
World Superbike (SBK)
British Superbike (BSB)
Isle of Man TT
MXGP Motocross World Championship
Southern 100

MotoGP has an incredible 21 round racing calendar for 2023 which - on its own - will put the riders and teams under more pressure than ever before, but also adding to the March to November season is the introduction of a Saturday afternoon Sprint Race.

World Superbike (SBK) has been more exciting than ever and with all the major title contenders riding for the same teams as 2022, we expect more intense and close racing for 2023.

The British Superbike (BSB) championship calendar once again features the best of British racing circuits that provided 10 winners and 13 different riders on the podium in 2022. The Showdown Format continues to keep the season exciting to the very last round and it will be impossible to predict a winner.

The Isle of Man TT gets a big shake-up for 2023 with a Saturday date for the Senior TT and 11 races in total. And for those who can’t make it to the beautiful island, live coverage is now available.

In terms of motocross, the 20 Round MXGP is a busy one and finished up with the Motocross of Nations (MXoN) in October in France
