Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, KTM, Aprilia sign MotoGP pact through 2031
KTM, Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, and Yamaha have all signed off on MotoGP’s new framework covering the 2027 to 2031 seasons. The deal was discussed during the Czech Republic Grand Prix weekend, setting the structure for how the championship will be run heading into its next technical era.
It brings the sporting, technical, and commercial sides of MotoGP under one agreement with the series promoter.
What makes this stand out is how unusual it is for MotoGP. In the past, manufacturers negotiated their own separate agreements. This time, all five factory teams are aligned under a single deal heading into the next regulation cycle. MotoGP is already preparing for a major rule reset in 2027, with new technical regulations designed to tighten competition and control costs. With the agreement now in place, manufacturers have a clearer long-term roadmap for development and planning.
While the full details of the contract have not been released, it is expected to cover key areas such as development restrictions, commercial rights, and how manufacturers will be involved across the cycle.
Just as important, it keeps the current factory manufacturers aligned under one framework. Ducati, KTM, Aprilia, Honda, and Yamaha will continue their rivalries into the next era without any disruption in participation.
For the championship, it brings a rare sense of stability ahead of a major reset. For fans, it means the current battles are not short-term storylines. They are set to carry over into 2027 and beyond.
