The Grand Prix of the Americas is round 5 on the MotoGP 2027 calendar. The weekend runs from Friday 23 April to Sunday 25 April 2027 at the Circuit of the Americas, close to Austin, Texas. It follows the Argentine Grand Prix by two weeks and closes the American leg before the series returns to Europe for the Spanish Grand Prix.

Circuit of the Americas: why MotoGP Austin is special

A modern venue with a big history for MotoGP Austin

The Circuit of the Americas opened in 2012 and has hosted MotoGP since 2013. Marc Marquez has won there many times, which gives the race a personal edge for his fans and a challenge for anyone trying to beat him.

A Grand Prix of the Americas weekend that feels like a festival

Austin is a lively city with a strong music and food scene, and the circuit weekend benefits from that energy. Expect a relaxed, social atmosphere around the venue, with plenty to do between sessions.

The track itself is wide and varied, with a big climb at the first turn and a flowing series of changes of direction. Those features create good overtaking chances and spectacular views from the right seats.

Where to sit at the MotoGP of the Americas 2027

Fans can choose between the main grandstand, the Turn 1 grandstand and general admission, including the Turn 15 area and the hill areas.

• The main grandstand puts you opposite the pit lane for race starts, podium celebrations and tyre changes.
• The Turn 1 grandstand overlooks one of the busiest braking and overtaking spots on the lap, ideal for the opening seconds of a race.
• General admission around Turn 15 and the hills gives flexibility and a more informal feel, though it requires early arrival for good positions.

Bring a cushion or folding seat if rules allow, and think about shade and wind before choosing a position on a grassy slope.

Getting to the Grand Prix of the Americas and where to stay

The circuit is about 15 km south-east of downtown Austin, and Austin-Bergstrom airport is close, which keeps transfers short. Many fans stay in the city centre and travel to the track by shuttle, taxi or car.

Camping is available around the venue area for those who like to stay on site. Facilities and rules for 2027 have not been published, so check updates before you book. Hotels in Austin fill quickly during busy weekends, so reserve a bed early; see our Motorsport travel guides 2027 for planning ideas.

Traffic and timing for the Grand Prix of the Americas
