There’s been some movement in the calendar as Portimao and Most secure earlier dates, while Balaton Park is scheduled for a WorldSBK debut in July

The 2025 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship’s provisional calendar has been revealed with 12 rounds scheduled for the fastest production-based racing Championship in the world. A new venue has a summer debut scheduled, while there’s a different order for some of the fan and rider favourite circuits. After the exceptional 2024 campaign, 2025 is sure to be another season that will live long in the memory. Check out the 12-round calendar in closer detail.

A traditional starting point kicks off the season as the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit hosts the season-opener on the 21st-23rd of February. As always, there will be an Official Test in Australia for the WorldSBK and WorldSSP fields leading up to the round, on the 17th and 18th of February. From Australia, it’s a trip to Portugal and the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in a new March date, taking place from the 28th-30th of March. The WorldSSP300 season will also start at the Portuguese venue.

Then it’s a trip to the Netherlands and the iconic TT Circuit Assen on 11th-13th of April, where the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship will begin its second season – and race at Assen for the first time. Next up, it’s the first of two trips to Italy in 2025. The Cremona Circuit returns for its second WorldSBK visit, but this time on the 2nd-4th of May, before another venue with a different date as the Autodrom Most slots in on the 16th-18th of May.

After the Czech Republic visit, it’s back to Italy for the historic Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, which takes place on the 13th-15th of June. The circuit where it all started for WorldSBK, Donington Park, follows with a trip to the UK pencilled in for the 11th-13th of July. After that, the Balaton Park Circuit is scheduled for the 25th-27th of July for its WorldSBK debut as a trip to Hungary awaits.

It’s another frantic end to the season from September onwards. The Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours hosts the Championship in its now-traditional slot on the 5th-7th of September, before MotorLand Aragon on the 26th-28th of the same month. It’s a double header to end the season with the Circuito Estoril on the 10th-12th of October before a spectacular season finale is guaranteed at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto in Spain on the 17th-19th of October.
