The Ice Speedway World Championship will once again be decided in 2027 over a total of four races, to be held in Inzell in March and in Heerenveen in April. In the 2026 season, the World Championship calendar had been reduced to three races for the Individual World Championship, as the FIM brought back the Team World Championship in Heerenveen at the expense of one race in the Individual World Championship.
For 2027, organisers have succeeded in finding a host in Sweden – the dynamic club in Örnsköldsvik – to stage the Nations’ Ice Speedway Championship, which will take place on 20 February as the day’s final event. In April this year, the Finns, with Heikki Huusko and Max Koivula, claimed the title in the Team World Championship, which was held for the first time since 2020.
The Individual World Championship will be contested across three events in 2027. The qualifying round will take place on 23 January in Malilla, where the Swedish Speedway Grand Prix is held in the summer. There, the top eight will secure their places in the World Championship final races, for which the top five from this year’s competition are automatically qualified. In addition, three riders will be nominated with permanent wildcards. A one-day wildcard will also be awarded for each of the two Grands Prix.
