MotoGP could soon return to multiple races in the United States as Liberty Media intensifies efforts to expand the championship’s reach in one of the world’s biggest sports markets.
The company, which now oversees both MotoGP and Formula 1, has identified the US as a major priority as it looks to replicate the commercial success Formula 1 achieved under its ownership.
Currently, the Circuit of the Americas in Austin remains the only American venue on the MotoGP calendar. However, Liberty Media CEO Derek Chang confirmed that discussions are ongoing about adding another race in the country, with Miami emerging as one of the strongest possibilities.
According to Chang, expanding MotoGP’s presence in the US is a long-term project, but one the company sees as essential for the championship’s future growth.

Miami has quickly become an attractive option due to its existing Formula 1 infrastructure around the Miami International Autodrome and Hard Rock Stadium. The city’s strong tourism appeal, transport links, hotels, and entertainment scene also fit Liberty Media’s strategy of bringing MotoGP closer to major urban audiences.
Still, hosting MotoGP requires more than simply adapting a Formula 1 venue. Motorcycle racing has stricter safety demands, particularly regarding run-off areas and circuit design. Commercial factors also remain part of the evaluation process as Liberty Media continues talks with Miami and other potential locations.
The move reflects a broader direction for the championship. Liberty Media wants more races positioned near major cities where fans can easily travel, stay, and engage with race-week activities. The company believes city-based destinations can help attract new audiences while improving the overall fan experience.
That philosophy is already influencing future calendar planning. Upcoming events in Buenos Aires and Adelaide highlight the growing preference for accessible city locations over more remote traditional circuits.
At the same time, Liberty Media insists MotoGP’s heritage will remain an important part of the sport’s identity. Chang recently said the goal is not to replace legendary venues, but to modernize the championship while preserving its history and atmosphere.
He is also expected to visit several iconic circuits, including Circuito de Jerez, Mugello Circuit, and TT Circuit Assen, as Liberty Media continues evaluating how to improve the experience for MotoGP fans around the world.
If plans progress, Miami could become the next major step in MotoGP’s push to establish a stronger foothold in the American market.
