The 2024 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship’s provisional calendar has been released, with plenty to look forward to as the fastest production-based motorcycle racing Championship in the world readies for another action-packed year. A new venue, a slightly different order and all the usual classics, 2024 is going to be another season to remember for countless reasons. We check out the 12-round calendar in closer details.

It's our traditional starting point that ignites a new chapter in WorldSBK history in 2024; the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit will raise the curtain once again for the Australian Round from the 23^rd – 25^th February with WorldSSP in attendance, with the Official Test taking place in the week leading up the event on the 19^th and 20^th. One month later from the 22^nd – 24^th March, the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya finds a new slot on the calendar with our European season well underway in north-eastern Spain; there’ll be a Supported Test on the 14^th and 15^th a week before the round. The round itself will also see WorldSSP300 action return. Completing the opening quarter of the season from the 19^th – 21^st of April, the historic TT Circuit Assen will see big crowds and epic action again in the Netherlands.

WorldSBK will head for holidays in spring with May free of action; the fourth round of the season takes place on the 14^th – 16^th of June for the first of two visits to Italy at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, whilst the UK Round is next up at Donington Park a month later from the 12^th – 14^th July, maintaining its usual summer slot. This is part of the first back-to-back rounds, with the Autodrom Most in the Czech Republic welcomed back for a fourth consecutive season a week later on the 19^th – 21^st of July.

The second half of the year fires up in August as after two weekends off, racing action returns with the Portuguese Round at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve from the 9^th – 11^th of August. After Portimao comes the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours and the French Round in its now-traditional early September slot, taking place on from the 6^th-8^th before a frantic but thrilling end to the campaign.

The final four rounds of the season features a new circuit; the Cremona Circuit in northern Italy on the 20^th – 22^nd September. Our second visit to the country takes place just half an hour from the medieval centre of Cremona itself. A week later and it’s back to Spain for Round 10 from the picturesque and unique MotorLand Aragon before another double-header ends the season. WorldSBK returns to the Circuito Estoril for the Estoril Round on October 11^th-13^th before the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto hosts the 2024 season finale a week later.

With the Cremona Circuit being new to WorldSBK, it is subject to homologation. For full details of all classes and their respective calendars, click here.
