MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix 2027: Mandalika race weekend, Lombok trip and tickets

Indonesian Grand Prix 2027: dates and calendar context

The Indonesian Grand Prix is round 20 of the MotoGP 2027 calendar. It runs from Friday 29 October to Sunday 31 October 2027, a week after the Malaysian Grand Prix and two weeks before the Australian Grand Prix.

The date is confirmed on the current calendar, but final confirmation of the full schedule is still pending. Session times for 2027 have not been published and should arrive a few weeks before the event.

Mandalika and MotoGP Mandalika: the island setting

An Indonesian Grand Prix street circuit on Lombok

The Mandalika circuit is on Lombok Island, which gives the weekend a very different feel from a typical city or countryside race. MotoGP has visited Mandalika since 2022, so the event is still relatively new compared with long-established rounds.

What to expect at the Indonesian GP

Expect a tropical setting, warm weather and a local crowd that is passionate about motorcycle racing. Because Lombok is an island, travel takes more planning than at a venue near a major hub, but the reward is a memorable trip.

Where to sit at the Indonesian GP 2027

The venue offers a main grandstand and general admission areas. The main grandstand is the safest option if you want a guaranteed seat with a view of the start, the pit lane and the podium.

General admission suits fans who like to move around, though you should plan for heat, sun and possible showers. Pick areas with shade where you can, and carry water if the rules allow.

No other grandstand names have been confirmed for 2027, so rely on the Tickets button for final categories when sales start.

Getting to the Indonesian Grand Prix on Lombok

Lombok International Airport is close to the circuit, which is a great advantage for visitors. Most international travellers connect through a larger regional hub before flying to the island, so check schedules early and avoid tight transfers.

Camping has not been confirmed for this round. Accommodation on Lombok is spread across several areas, and demand rises sharply during Grand Prix weekend, so book as soon as your dates are firm. Our Motorsport travel guides 2027 offer more general advice for island trips.

Planning your MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix trip

The Indonesian round falls in a busy stretch of the calendar, between Malaysia and Australia. Many fans plan a single long journey through South-East Asia, so think about entry requirements, visas and travel insurance well in advance.

Bring sun protection, light clothing and a rain layer. Keep your documents safe and carry a charged phone, as networks can become busy near the circuit. After the race, plan transport carefully, because everyone leaves at once.

If you have time, add a few days to enjoy Lombok's beaches and landscapes. The weekend then becomes a holiday as well as a race.

Why the Indonesian Grand Prix 2027 is a bucket-list trip

Few Grands Prix take place on an island with beaches within easy reach. That is the appeal of Mandalika: a race weekend that can double as a tropical holiday, with surfing coasts, village markets and sunsets to enjoy between sessions.

It is also a round that rewards advance planning. Flights to Lombok can fill up, accommodation is concentrated in a few areas, and local transport on race days needs thought. If you are travelling as a group, choose a base that suits everyone and agree how you will reach the circuit each day.

Details such as shuttles, gate times and the weekend timetable are not yet published for 2027. We will include them in our alert as soon as they appear.
