MotoGP Live Stream and 2021 Australia Free Air TV Races

The most popular motorcycle racing season in the world is about to rev into gear, with twenty exciting races on the provisional MotoGP, Moto 2 and Moto 3 calendar. Kicking off with the season-opener in Losail, Qatar and ending in Valencia, Spain, it promises to be one of the most closely contested seasons in recent memory. Joan Mir is the defending MotoGP champion, but the return of Marc Marquez will mean he will have to battle very hard to make it back-to-back titles in 2021.

As the anticipation 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.

2021 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 are currently a total of 20 races stacked across this year’s calendar, with more expected to be added later in the year.

Spain’s Joan Mir is the defending Rider’s Champion, having won his first MotoGP World title in 2020 after a very close season that involved first wins for a handful of riders. Franco Morbidelli finished in second with Alex Rins third, with only 31 points separating the three at the end of the year. Aussie Jack Miller had a solid season, finishing in seventh place, a position he will be keen to build on with his Ducati this term.

How to Watch MotoGP in Australia

Here in 2021, 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. This includes all 17 MotoGP World Championship events LIVE, in HD, with no ad-breaks from lights on to the chequered flag. 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. Fortunately for MotoGP fans there are several options for watching Fox Sports in Australia, including a TV channel pack from Foxtel or Telstra, the online platform Foxtel Now, and the newest addition, live streaming with Kayo Sports who are currently offering a free trial.

If a subscription service or trial pack isn’t the route you wish to go, the MotoGP Free to air coverage on Network Ten in Australia includes every featured MotoGP Grand Prix, for a total of ninety minutes of live action for each fixture on the 2021 calendar. Currently, the network is in the midst of a three-year broadcast agreement to maintain its title as the Australian free to air home of the MotoGP, and each Grand Prix is available to watch live on 10 Boss or online with TenPlay. The channel Ten coverage does not, however, include Moto2, Moto3, or the ultra-important MotoGP practices and qualifying sessions. The lone exception is the MotoGP of Australia, for which 10 Boss will televise both the Qualifying race and Grand Prix live.
