CARDIFF’S days as the host city of the British Grand Prix are over.
In an unexpected announcement on Friday morning, World Championship rights holders Warner Bros. Discovery Sports revealed that the 2025 GP at the Principality Stadium has been cancelled – and moved to the National Speedway Stadium in Manchester. It means the NSS will stage two rounds of next year’s series over the weekend of June 13-14. Jean-Baptiste Ley, Motorsport Events Director at WBD Sports, said: "Firstly, I would like to thank all our partners who have helped us to stage a fantastic sporting event at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff in recent years. “I would also like to place on record that Warner Bros. Discovery Sports remains committed to delivering an action-packed, engaging 2025 FIM Speedway GP series that can be enjoyed by millions of fans. “In 2025, we are incredibly excited to bring the FIM Speedway GP series to the iconic National Speedway Stadium in Manchester, a true heartland of the sport, meaning British fans can still watch their favourite riders live and in-person next season as part of an exciting double-header. “The difficult but necessary decision to replace Cardiff on the 2025 calendar, made in close consultation with the FIM, has not been taken lightly. “It is a decision we have made for commercial reasons and a move that ensures the long-term sustainability of the series.”
