The Qatar 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 Qatar Grand Prix is not one of the events being broadcast live in Germany.

In Austria, ServusTV will broadcast the MotoGP World Championship free of charge via its linear and digital channels, including Red Bull TV. On Saturday, the MotoGP qualifying sessions will be shown live on ServusTV from 12.30 pm. From 2.40 pm, the qualifying sessions for the Moto3 and Moto2 classes, as well as the MotoGP Sprint, will be broadcast. On Sunday, ServusTV will show the races in all classes live from 1.20 pm. 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). SRF zwei will not be broadcasting the Qatar Grand Prix on linear TV. Both the MotoGP Sprint on Saturday and the premier class Grand Prix on Sunday will be streamed live and broadcast via the SRF Sport app.
