The Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship officially confirmed its provisional 2025 calendar on Wednesday, announcing five national rounds across three provinces and the addition of a brand-new venue.
The season will open in historic Shannonville Motorsport Park for a third consecutive year, running the 2.47 km “pro track” layout to kick off the campaign from May 16-18, near Kingston, Ontario.
Shannonville previously hosted round one on the “pro track” layout in 2023 and 2024, with the more technical “long track” layout serving as the season finale in both years.
The series will then leave Ontario for its coast-to-coast swing beginning at Atlantic Motorsport Park, with the challenging “rollercoaster” circuit near Halifax, Nova Scotia hosting round two from June 6-8.
The biggest change on the 2025 calendar will be the back-to-back western tour, which will feature the return of RAD Torque Raceway and first ever national racing event at Rocky Mountain Motorsports.
The former venue, located just outside Edmonton, Alberta, hosted round three of the 2024 campaign after a near decade absence and will do so again in 2025, this time from July 4-6.
That will lead directly into the inaugural CSBK round at Rocky Mountain Motorsports, just north of Calgary, as the four-day event gets underway July 10-13. The series conducted a private test at the circuit in 2024, one that proved to be a massive success and helped pave the way for its addition to the 2025 calendar.
The season will then return to Ontario for its fifth and final round at famed Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, another four-day event from August 7-10, just east of Toronto. The renowned circuit hosted the CSBK finale from 2014 to 2020 and again in 2022, before serving as the penultimate round in each of the last two campaigns.
Each event will continue as a doubleheader for every national class, ensuring a ten-race championship in 2025.
The full provisional schedule can be found below:
Round 1 – Shannonville Motorsport Park, ON – May 16-18
Round 2 – Atlantic Motorsport Park, NS – June 6-8
Round 3 – RAD Torque Raceway, AB – July 4-6
Round 4 – Rocky Mountain Motorsports, AB – July 10-13
Round 5 – Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, ON – August 7-10
