1 · The short answer

The Dutch TT returns to the TT Circuit Assen from 25 to 27 June 2027, according to the MotoGP ticket page, which said on 2 November 2026 that tickets were not on sale yet. Assen is a small northern town, and for one weekend it fills with riders, campers and a lot of orange. I would plan the phone side before the weekend, not on it.

I would buy Ringo Light's Netherlands plan. It covers Assen, Groningen, Amsterdam and the rest of the country with unlimited data at full speed, so train planners, tickets and the race feed keep working when the crowd is packed in.

2 · Getting to Assen by train

Most visitors from abroad land at Schiphol and take the train. From Schiphol or Amsterdam Centraal the journey north to Assen usually takes around two hours and often involves a change, commonly at Amersfoort, Zwolle or Groningen depending on the timetable. The NS journey planner shows the exact connections for your day. I would check it again on the Friday, because race weekends can bring extra services and engineering works can still move things around.

From Assen station the circuit is a walk or a ride away. Shuttle and parking arrangements for 2027 are not published yet, so I would look at the visit and stay section of ttcircuit.com closer to the race. Many Dutch spectators simply cycle. If I were staying in town, I would take the bike, the quiet way to beat the queue.

Drivers should expect the roads around Assen to slow down on race mornings and the car parks near the circuit to fill early. I would book parking in advance where the organiser offers it.

3 · Campsites and the festival in town

The Dutch TT is known for camping. Many fans stay at campsites around the circuit and in the surrounding villages, and Assen itself hosts a festival atmosphere in the town centre through the weekend, with bars, live music and bikes parked in the streets. That is also where the signal gets patchy. A festival crowd in a compact centre shares the same few masts, so photos and video tend to crawl in the evening.

I would download the circuit map, the ticket and the campsite directions before leaving the hotel or the train. The Drenthe countryside is flat and open, so coverage is usually decent outside the busiest points, but I would not rely on a good signal at a packed gate at nine in the morning.

4 · Signal at the circuit

Thousands of phones on the grandstands and the grass banks hit the same cells at once. The worst moments are the minutes after a race, when everybody posts at the same time, and the queue for the shuttle or the station afterwards.

I would save the e-ticket, the timetable and the next trains offline, and keep a screenshot of the campsite entrance or accommodation address. Live timing and video need a steady connection, so I would watch them from a spot with room around rather than in the middle of a crowd.

5 · Apps, tickets and paying

  • ✓MotoGP app and website. Session times and results. Live timing and video need the official subscription.
  • ✓Tickets. Sold through the MotoGP ticket page and the circuit's own site. I would keep the e-ticket saved offline.
  • ✓Trains. The NS app plans journeys and sells tickets, and you can check in and out with a bank card or phone at the gates. I would sign in to the app before the race.
  • ✓Paying. The Netherlands is close to cashless. Most shops, bars and stalls take PIN cards and contactless phone payments, and some small places prefer them to cash. I would carry a debit card or a Visa or Mastercard and a few coins for lockers and toilets.

6 · What to see around the race

Assen is the capital of Drenthe and has a compact centre with cafes and a long cycling tradition. Groningen, about half an hour north by train, is a lively student city with a big market square, canals and plenty of places to eat late. For a first visit to the country, Amsterdam is the natural add-on, with its canals, the Rijksmuseum and the day trips to Zaanse Schans and Kinderdijk. Utrecht is a good stop on the way back to Schiphol, and it is the one I would pick.
