The 2027 Speedway Grand Prix season will be the 33rd season of the Speedway Grand Prix era, and will decide the 82nd FIM Speedway World Championship. It will be the second series promoted by Mayfield Sports Events Ltd.
Robert Lambert will be the defending champion having won the title in 2026.
The series will return to Australia for the first time since 2017 with Gillman Speedway in Adelaide staging the final two rounds of the competition. Foxhall Stadium in Ipswich will also stage the British Speedway Grand Prix for the first time, replacing the National Speedway Stadium.
Qualification For the 2027 season there will be 15 permanent riders, who will be joined at each Grand Prix by one wild card and two track reserves. The top seven riders from the 2026 championship qualified automatically. These riders are joined by the four riders who qualified via the Grand Prix Challenge and the 2026 Speedway European Championship winner, but Rober Lambert (Challenge winner) and Leon Madsen (SEC winner) already qualified as 2026 top 7 (Champion and 6th, respectively). This means that Andžejs Ļebedevs qualified from 5th place in Challenge and final four (not three) riders will be nominated by the SGP Commission.
