MotoGP has announced a new two-year contract with Silverstone, ensuring the British Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until at least 2028.
The news was made official on the eve of this year's United Kingdom round of MotoGP, which marks the start of the second half of the 2026 season.
Although MotoGP hasn't been able to replicate the same success that Formula 1 has enjoyed at Silverstone recently, the UK remains an important market for the championship.
The series said the agreement "provides a strong platform to continue investing in long-term success" of the event, which attracted just shy of 100,000 fans last year.
To boost the popularity of this year's event, MotoGP staged a watch party in London during the Dutch GP, while the official pre-event press conference for the British GP has also been moved to the capital.
