According to reports from some Brazilian broadcasters, the top officials of MotoGP and the circuit have reached an agreement.
MotoGP is ready to expand its horizons and broaden its calendar. As reported by some Brazilian broadcasters, the MotoGP leadership has reached an agreement with the Autódromo de Goiânia, starting from the 2026 season.
Liberty Media’s entry into the world of MotoGP seems to be bearing fruit, bringing the world’s premier motorsport back to Brazil. The Autódromo de Goiânia had previously hosted races for the 250cc and 500cc classes from 1987 to 1989. However, this brief period was not enough for Brazil to establish a permanent spot on the MotoGP calendar, unlike in Formula 1.
This time, however, the return to Brazil appears to be a reality. According to GrandePremio.com, the government officials of Goiás have reached an agreement with Dorna to bring MotoGP back to Brazil. The contract will last for five years (three fixed years with an option for the other two), and the first event is expected to take place in 2026.
The official announcement, also reported by GrandePremio.com, is expected to take place on December 12 at the Centro Cultural Oscar Niemeyer in Avilés, Spain. The event will be attended by the governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado, Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta, and the CEO of Brasil Motorsport, Alan Adler, who is also the organizer of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Interlagos.
