The 2027 AUSMX Championship calendar is beginning to take shape, with potential venues emerging for the eight-round series as Williams Event Management (WEM) prepares to resume control of the Australian Motocross Championship.

While an official calendar is yet to be released and a previous version of the draft schedule is being circulated, it’s understood that Ride Park, Warrnambool, Gillman and Wonthaggi are expected to host the opening four rounds.

AUSMX is due to commence in March before concluding its first half in April. Following an extended mid-season break across May and June, the championship is anticipated to resume in South East Queensland during July, followed by Appin in New South Wales.

An additional Queensland round is expected to take place in either the Wide Bay or Central Queensland regions, before organisers are thought to be targeting a return to the Sunshine Coast for the season finale in August, although a venue is yet to be determined.

The proposed schedule aligns with earlier reporting surrounding the championship’s restructure, with two rounds anticipated in each of March, April, July and August.

WEM previously operated the MX Nationals over more than two decades until 2020, with the Victorian-based group’s return marking another new chapter for the national championship following Motorcycling Australia’s short-lived, internally-operated ProMX era that spanned 2021 through 2026.

Consecutive race weekends – likely rounds three and four in April, as well as the final two events in August – and revised event formats have also been under consideration as preparations continue for 2027, with further details due to be formally announced in the coming weeks.
