MotoGP Italian Grand Prix 2027: Mugello race weekend, seats and ticket guide

Italian Grand Prix 2027: date and place in the calendar

The Italian Grand Prix is round 8 of the MotoGP 2027 calendar. It takes place from Friday 28 May to Sunday 30 May 2027 at Mugello, two weeks after the French Grand Prix and two weeks before the Catalan Grand Prix.

The date is confirmed on the present calendar, but the whole schedule still awaits final confirmation. Session times are not out yet and will be released by the organisers a few weeks before the weekend.

Mugello and the MotoGP Scarperia e San Piero setting

A Tuscan landscape for the Italian GP

The circuit lies in the hills of Tuscany near Scarperia e San Piero, and the scenery is part of the appeal. Fast flowing corners climb and fall through the countryside, giving riders and spectators a spectacular backdrop.

History of the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello

Mugello has hosted the Italian GP since 1976 and is owned by Ferrari. Fans regard its atmosphere as among the most passionate in motorcycle racing, with yellow flags, flares and chants filling the hillsides.

Where to sit at the Italian GP 2027

Spectators can choose between the main grandstand, the Arrabbiata grandstands and the general admission hills and meadows.

• Main grandstand: the classic view of the start, the pit lane and the podium.
• Arrabbiata grandstands: a position on one of the circuit's most recognisable fast corner sequences.
• Hills and meadows: free movement and a picnic atmosphere, although you need an early start for the best views.

If you choose a hillside spot, think about weather protection and comfortable shoes, as slopes can be slippery and the walk between viewpoints is not short.

Getting to the Italian Grand Prix from Florence and Bologna

The circuit is about 30 km north of Florence, with Florence and Bologna airports providing the main gateways. Local roads fill on race days, so leaving early is essential. Many fans choose to stay in Florence and travel by pre-booked shuttle or car, while others prefer lodging closer to the circuit.

Camping areas around the circuit are an option for those who want the full Mugello experience. Facilities and rules for 2027 have not been published, so check updates before booking. Our Motorsport travel guides 2027 offer advice that applies to any European race trip.

Tips for the Italian Grand Prix weekend

Arrive early, because the atmosphere builds from the first practice and the best viewing positions fill fast. Bring layers, sun protection and a rain jacket, as Tuscan weather can shift from hot to stormy within hours.

Plan food and water in advance if you will be in the hills, and carry only what you need. Phone signal can be patchy when crowds are large, so agree a meeting place with friends. When the race ends, give yourself plenty of time to leave.

Making the Italian Grand Prix 2027 a Tuscan holiday

The race weekend sits at the end of May, which is a pleasant time to see Tuscany. If you can add a few days, Florence offers art, architecture and food, while the countryside around Mugello is ideal for walking or a slow drive between villages.

Fans travelling with partners who are less keen on motorsport often split the trip: one or two days at the circuit and the rest sightseeing. Booking accommodation in Florence gives you that flexibility, as trains and buses link the city with many surrounding towns.

Whatever you choose, remember that the Italian GP is one of the busiest weekends of the season, so reserve early and keep your plans flexible in case timetables change once the organisers publish the schedule.
