A new agreement between MotoGP and the TT Circuit Assen confirms the classic Dutch venue on the MotoGP calendar until 2031, extending its previous agreement that ran until 2026.

Assen is a fan favourite thanks to its incredible layout, fantastic atmosphere and unique final chicane, the latter of which has been the stage for many of the sport’s most iconic moments, then and now. It’s also MotoGP™s longest-serving venue, having hosted Grand Prix motorcycle racing since the inaugural 1949 season – a unique feat on the modern calendar.
