The most popular motorcycle racing season in the world has revved into high gear, with nineteen exciting fixtures on this year’s MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 calendar – kicking off with the season-opener in Qatar and ending with the closing event in Valencia. Marc Marquez is the defending title-holder, having secured his fifth MotoGP Riders’ Championship. He’s certain to be in the mix again, but he’ll have plenty of competition from former winner Valentino Rossi and the surging Andrea Dovizioso.

As the race for the championship heats up, MotoGP fans want to know which networks are televising the weekend’s action, what time does each practice or qualifying session start, and how can you stream the featured races live? The answers to all these questions and more can be found in the viewing guide provided here.

2019 MotoGP TV Preview

The MotoGP World Championship travels five continents and draws a global television audience in the tens of millions, with every MotoGP Grand Prix live racing weekend offering a unique experience as the riders and teams compete for a place on the podium. There’s a total of nineteen fixtures stacked across this year’s calendar, starting with the season opener in the desert heat of Qatar in late March, continuing to the scenic mountains of Austria in August, followed by a trip to Thailand in early October for the newest addition, and concluding on the sandy beaches of Catalonia Spain in mid November.

Spain’s Marc Marquez is the defending Rider’s Champion, winning his fifth MotoGP World title in 2018 in dominant fashion. Andrea Dovizioso finished in second, though he was a long way behind Marquez, with veteran Valentino Rossi taking third. With the win, Marquez became the first to score a three-peat since Valentino Rossi accomplished the trick more than a decade ago. His dominant performance sees him favourite once again this year, but he’ll have a hoard of experienced riders, including Rossi, Dovizioso and Lorenzo, chasing him throughout.

How to Watch MotoGP in Australia

Here in 2019, Fox Sports of Australia, (Foxtel/Kayo) will once again have the broadcast rights to all MotoGP category races including Moto2 and Moto3, and will televise every practise, qualifying session and featured race live.

Fox Sports, via Foxtel and Kayo, will also provide expert commentary, as well as comprehensive pre-race and post-race analysis. This coverage begins with the very first championship race of the season, and continues until the finale to be held in November.

The channel Ten coverage does not, however, include Moto2, Moto3, or the ultra-important MotoGP practices and qualifying sessions.
