The new era of the Penrite Australian Superbike Championship presented by Pirelli (ASBK) is taking shape, with six rounds to be held between October 2026 and March 2027 to launch the groundbreaking ASBK summer calendar.

The 2026-2027 ASBK Championship will commence with a landmark appearance at the 2026 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix from October 23-25, before the paddock moves onto The Bend (November 13-15, 2026), One Raceway (December 4-6, 2026), Queensland Raceway (January 15-17, 2027), Phillip Island (TBA but late February 2027) and the ASBK Grand Finale under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park (March 19-20, 2027).

The ASBK summer calendar is transformative for Australia’s premier circuit racing championship, not only in presenting world-class action during more weather-friendly warmer months but genuine opportunities will now also exist for internationals and Aussie expatriates to contest the entire championship and enhance the spectacle even more.

“This is a tremendously exciting time for the ASBK Championship as it continues to evolve and push new boundaries,” said Motorcycling Australia CEO, Peter Doyle.

“It’s a seismic shift, and one that will elevate ASBK to a new level and amplify the amazing level of talent competing in the championship – from the stars of tomorrow in the FIM Oceania Junior Cup to the extraordinarily competitive Superbike class.

“There’s already a real buzz about the ASBK summer calendar, and we look forward to seeing it come to life in October at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.”

While the build-up to the 2026-2027 summer calendar continues, round two of the 2026 ASBK Championship will be held under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park on March 27-28 (Friday-Saturday). To purchase tickets, click here.
