Following the recent announcement of a full 2017 MXGP World Championship calendar, a revised schedule has now been released with just one change to the increased 20-round series.

Initially scheduled to take place on 24 September, the 2017 season finale at Villars sous Ecot, France, will now take place one week earlier on 17 September.

This shortened schedule will benefit riders allowing one extra week of rest and preparation time ahead of the 2017 Monster Energy Motocross of Nations event set to take place on 1 October at Matterley Basin in Great Britain.
