The FIM Superbike World Championship Series schedule gets a complete makeover for 2023. The WorldSBK calendar stats with flyaway rounds in Australia and Indonesia. The series then stays in Europe for eight rounds from April to September. Round 11 is in Argentina in October, with a 12th and final round to be determined.
Three riders dominated the proceedings in 2022—Álvaro Bautista, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, and Jonathan Rea. Bautista took the title away from defending champion Razgatlıoğlu at the penultimate round, with six-time World Superbike Champion Rea close behind. Possible competition for the trio will come from Danilo Petrucci, Remy Gardner, Dominique Aegerter, Lorenzo Baldassarri, and Michael Ruben Rinaldi.
