What changes compared with 2026
Three changes stand out.
- Shanghai as the finale: the Chinese circuit is new to WorldSBK and pushes the end of the season back to late October.
- Valencia replaces Jerez: the Ricardo Tormo circuit returns to the calendar in third position. Jerez is absent because of renovation work on its facilities.
- Hungary leaves the calendar: Balaton Park no longer features.
Phillip Island, opener for the last time
The Australian round opens the season at Phillip Island one last time: from 2028 it moves to The Bend circuit, according to Cycle News and SoyMotero. For Belgian, Dutch and French fans, the European season starts at Portimão and then Valencia, followed by Assen in April, and Magny-Cours in September.
A calendar that is still provisional
