The Finnish motorcycle Grand Prix was part of the FIM Grand Prix motorcycle racing championship from 1962 to 1982. It was held at the Tampere Circuit in 1962 and 1963 before moving to the Imatra Circuit. Giacomo Agostini won the most Finnish Grands Prix with ten 500cc victories and six 350cc victories. In July 2016, it was announced the Grand Prix would return on the new Kymi Ring circuit.

After a 5-year contract was agreed, to start with a scheduled event in 2021, this was cancelled on 14 May 2021 due to COVID-19. The next anticipated event for 2022 was cancelled on 25 May 2022, due to incomplete homologation works at the track and the risks associated with the geopolitical situation in the region concerning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The MotoGP 2023 provisional race calendar was announced in late September 2022, without the Finnish Grand Prix.2023 MotoGP calendar: countries, circuits & dates motogp.com, Retrieved 30 September 2022
