The championship last raced at the circuit in 2019, with the venue also set to host the MotoGP Australian Grand Prix next weekend.
Supercars acting CEO Barclay Nettlefold is excited about the return to the island, particularly as the championship prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
“As we celebrate 30 years of Supercars in 2027, it feels incredibly fitting to return to Phillip Island, a circuit that formed part of our championship in 1997 and holds a special place in the history of our sport,” Nettlefold said in the announcement.
“Phillip Island is an iconic venue that has delivered some memorable moments for Supercars, and we’re incredibly excited to bring the championship back and create a new chapter in that history for our fans, teams and drivers.”
The circuit has hosted several different formats over the years, including endurance races, season finales and season openers, but it will now play a pivotal role in deciding the championship winner.
“Phillip Island is one of the most spectacular and recognisable circuits in Australia, and we’re excited by the opportunity to bring the Repco Supercars Championship back to this beloved venue,” Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO Travis Auld said.
“We have a proven track record delivering world-class sporting events, and we’re looking forward to working closely with Supercars, the Victorian Government and local stakeholders, with the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit providing the perfect stage.”
