The transition will begin with a compact 2026 season featuring five rounds from February to June, culminating in the ASBK Grand Finale at Queensland Raceway. Following an extended winter break, the new summer format will commence in October 2026, spanning seven rounds through to April 2027, with the finale at The Bend Motorsport Park.
Motorcycling Australia CEO Peter Doyle highlighted that this change has been long in the making and is expected to bring numerous benefits to the championship. For enthusiasts and potential motorcycle buyers, this shift may influence the timing of new model releases and promotional events, potentially impacting financing options and purchase decisions.
