Race calendar and results

The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme released a 14-round provisional calendar on 29 November 2013.^[1] The event scheduled at the Moscow Raceway for 21 September 2014 was cancelled due to the Russian military intervention in Ukraine,^[2] while Qatar was included in the 13-round updated version of the calendar, issued by the FIM on 12 April 2014, as the venue of the last event of the season.^[3]

On 31 July 2014, the Qatar round was confirmed by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme, and was to be held under floodlights for its return to the calendar.^[4] On the same date, it was announced that the South African round – due to be held on 19 October at Phakisa Freeway in Welkom – was cancelled due to delays in achieving the FIM homologation requirements.^[4] It was later announced that the round would not be replaced on the calendar, reducing the season to 12 rounds.^[5]
