The Australian Grand Prix: Where the practice sessions and races will be shown

As well as the official website motogp.com, Sky Sport also broadcasts all 22 race weekends of the MotoGP World Championship, featuring the premier class, Moto2 and Moto3. However, both services are subject to a subscription fee. At the turn of the year from 2023 to 2024, the Austrian private broadcaster ServusTV, part of Red Bull Media House, ceased its linear broadcasting operations in Germany; since then, MotoGP coverage has been provided in collaboration with DF1. From 2027, selected races will then be shown on free-to-air TV in Germany on RTL.

Twelve selected events from the premier class of motorbike racing will be broadcast live and free-to-air on DF1 in 2026; digitally, these races can be viewed on the streaming services ServusTV On and Red Bull TV, which are also accessible on any modern TV set. Highlights will be shown for the remaining races.

This weekend’s Australian Grand Prix is one of the events to be broadcast live in Germany. DF1 will broadcast the MotoGP qualifying session live on Saturday at 1.50 am. From 3.45 am, the qualifying sessions for the Moto3 and Moto2 classes, as well as the MotoGP Sprint, will be shown. On Sunday, the channel will broadcast the races in all classes live from 1.20 am.

In Austria, ServusTV is providing free coverage of the MotoGP World Championship via its linear and digital channels, including Red Bull TV. On Saturday, the MotoGP qualifying session will be shown live on ServusTV from 1.40 am. From 3.40 am, the qualifying sessions for the Moto3 and Moto2 classes, as well as the MotoGP Sprint, will be broadcast. A repeat of the MotoGP qualifying session will follow at 1.50 pm. The MotoGP Sprint will also be shown again at 3.05 pm. On Sunday, ServusTV will broadcast the races in all classes live from 1.20 am. From 12.30 pm, the channel will show repeats of all the races. ServusTV On will be on air from Friday onwards.

SRG holds the linear and digital rights for Switzerland and will broadcast on SRF (German), RTS (French) and RSI (Italian). On Saturday, SRF 2 will show a repeat of the MotoGP Sprint at 11.10 am. On Sunday, a repeat of the MotoGP race will also be shown at 11.10 am. Both Saturday’s MotoGP Sprint and Sunday’s premier class Grand Prix will be broadcast live via the stream and on the SRF Sport app.

Topic of the week

Topic of the week: MotoGP’s new schedule proved highly controversial

In 2027, MotoGP will also enter the 850cc era with a new schedule. It was not so much the changes themselves as the way the decisions were reached that caused a stir. A prime example of: ‘Talking helps’.

Due to the allocation of secondary broadcasting rights, coverage may occasionally be available via providers not listed here. Furthermore, given the variety of transmission and reception technologies, as well as the specific choice of provider and its channel line-up, it can only be determined on a case-by-case basis whether MotoGP can be received legally.
