About This Event
This is WorldSBK's last weekend at Phillip Island before the Australian Round moves to The Bend in 2028, and it opens the 2027 season. WorldSBK and WorldSSP share a circuit with Bass Strait as its backdrop, watched from open outfield banks with no grandstands.
1What to Expect
The official WorldSBK and WorldSSP test runs at the circuit on Monday 15 and Tuesday 16 February, then the season opening race weekend runs Friday to Sunday with both championships on track.
Viewing is general admission on the outfield, from the Gardner Straight fence line to Lukey Heights and other spots around the circuit. Road registered motorbikes with a licensed rider can be ridden around the outfield to a viewing spot, but not into the paddock.
The WorldSBK paddock has the Paddock Show, Parc Fermé and the podium celebrations. The 2027 Paddock Show schedule goes up on the WorldSBK Australia website once it is released.
The Expo runs Friday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm, and the Visitor Centre and Champions Café open 7am to 6:30pm on all three days.
