When is the 2027 Dutch TT?

25–27 June 2027 at TT Circuit Assen, with the race on Sunday 27 June.

Is the race on a Saturday?

Not any more. The Dutch TT raced on Saturdays for decades and moved to Sunday in 2016; the sprint now fills the Saturday instead.

Can I stay in Groningen?

Yes, and most people who book late do. It is 30 minutes by train, the trains run late, and the city has the rooms Assen does not.

What is the TT Festival?

Assen's town centre turns into a free street festival on the Friday and Saturday nights of race weekend. It is the reason a hotel in the centre costs what it does.

How early do I need to be at the circuit?

For Sunday, be through the gates by 09:00. The approach roads and the bus queue are the only hard part of the day.

Our verdict

Go: Saturday and Sunday, with the TT Festival in town on Friday night
Stay: Groningen
Book by: December 2026 — Assen itself goes a year out

Assen is a town of 70,000 that hosts 100,000 people. There is no version of this weekend where the town has enough beds, so the real decision is which direction you sleep in: Groningen by train, or a campsite with everyone else.

Where to stay

TT Circuit AssenNorth is up. Numbers match the table.A number too close to read sits beside its dot, on a thin line.

#	District	To the venue	Price	What it is
1	Assen centre	20 min bus	$$$	A small town that turns itself over to the TT; the station, the bars, the festival
2	Groningen	45 min train	$$	A university city 30 minutes north with the hotel stock Assen does not have
3	Hoogeveen	35 min drive	$$	Motorway hotels south of the circuit; dull, close and still bookable
4	Drenthe villages	25 min drive	$$	Rolde, Vries and the campsites around them — the Dutch way to do this weekend
5	Zwolle	70 min train	$$	An hour south on a direct train, and the last place with normal prices

Getting there

Schiphol to Assen is a little over two hours by train with one change; Groningen Eelde is 25 minutes away by road but has very few flights.

On race days, trains to Assen run reinforced and a shuttle bus service runs from the station to the circuit. The walk is about 45 minutes if the queue looks worse than the weather.

By car, the circuit sits beside the N33 south of the town; park-and-walk fields open early and fill by mid-morning on Sunday.
