14-round calendar sets stage for 30th anniversary Supercars season
Phillip Island return, first Darwin night race features of 2027 calendar
Finals to determine champion across Gold Coast, Phillip Island, Adelaide events
Supercars has unveiled a blockbuster 14-round calendar for its milestone 30th anniversary season in 2027, featuring the return of Phillip Island, and Darwin’s first-ever Championship night race.
The announcement follows a landmark agreement between Supercars teams and category owners RACE, with an updated Teams Racing Charter agreement ensuring a 14-event season spanning from February to November 2027.
Iconic events, returning circuits and new racing experiences will connect the rich legacy of Supercars with the next chapter of the Championship as it celebrates three decades of the category that has become world-renowned for loud, competitive, door-to-door action on some of the planet’s most daunting circuits.
The 2027 calendar delivers 14 events across six Australian states and territories, as well as both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, beginning at Sydney Motorsport Park from 26-28 February and concludes with the Adelaide Grand Final from 25-28 November.
Introduced in 2025, the three-phase championship of the Sprint Cup, Enduro Cup, and Supercars Finals returns in 2027.
The Sprint Cup gets underway at Sydney Motorsport Park, followed by Tasmania’s Symmons Plains Raceway a fortnight later, before Supercars joins the Formula One Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne in early April.
Following a booming debut in 2026, the New Zealand Double Header returns in 2027, with Christchurch’s Ruapuna Raceway to open back-to-back weekends of racing in NZ, before teams head north to Taupō International Motorsport Park the following weekend.
Supercars will break new ground in 2027 with the first night race in Championship history at Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin before hitting the streets of Townsville in early July.
The Championship heads west in early August for one last visit to historic Wanneroo Raceway, before the winner of the Sprint Cup is crowned at Sandown Raceway later in the month.
The Enduro Cup takes in The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia in mid-September, followed by the Championship’s crown jewel – the Repco Bathurst 1000 – from October 7-10.
Bathurst will again determine the final 10 drivers who will contest the Supercars Finals, which kicks off on the streets of the Gold Coast in late October.
The second round of the Finals will take place at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, with the fan favourite and picturesque venue returning to the Supercars calendar for the first time since 2019.
The 30th anniversary season then reaches its crescendo in Adelaide, where the 2027 Repco Supercars Champion will be crowned on the new-look street circuit of the South Australian capital in November.
