Ducati sets January 2027 date for MotoGP livery launch

Ducati has announced it will unveil its 2027 MotoGP livery at its Campioni in Pista event at Madonna di Campiglio on Monday 18 January next year, with Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta set to appear in the team's colours publicly for the first time. Ducati is the first team to reveal when its 2027 livery will be shown, ahead of the 2026 season finishing.

The 2027 season marks a new era for MotoGP, with the move to 850cc bikes and Pirelli becoming the official tyre supplier. The bikes shown at the launch are likely to be early development versions of Ducati's 850cc prototype, as team launches are typically guarded events.

Ducati's factory line-up for 2027 will be all-Spanish, with Acosta replacing Pecco Bagnaia, who departs for Aprilia. Marquez, meanwhile, holds a 60-point lead in the standings and can clinch an eighth MotoGP title by winning the sprint at the Portuguese Grand Prix.
