MotoGP Calendar 2026 and 2027: Dates, UK TV and Rounds
Which races are left in 2026?
All dates below are race Sundays, and each weekend starts on the Friday. Dates come from the official MotoGP calendar.
| Round | Grand Prix | Circuit | Race day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | Malaysia | Sepang | Sunday 1 November |
| 20 | Qatar | Lusail | Sunday 8 November |
| 21 | Portugal | Portimao | Sunday 22 November |
| 22 | Valencia | Ricardo Tormo, Cheste | Sunday 29 November |
The Malaysian weekend was the latest round. Both the Sprint (Saturday 31 October) and the Grand Prix (Sunday 1 November) started at 07:00 UK time. The TNT Sports 2 listings we saw began the Sprint coverage at 06:45 and Sunday’s coverage at 06:15. Qatar on 8 November is the next race.
Who can still win the 2026 title?
The championship is a two-rider fight. After the Phillip Island Sprint, Marc Marquez had 365 points and Jorge Martin 355, with Marco Bezzecchi third on 315. Martin fractured his right forearm in that Sprint crash and was ruled out of the Sunday race, which was then cancelled altogether because poor visibility stopped the medical helicopter operating.
Nobody has wrapped it up yet. The official MotoGP site has the latest standings, and we will update this page once a champion is confirmed.

When is the British Grand Prix at Silverstone?
The 2026 British Grand Prix ran from 7 to 9 August, back in its traditional summer slot. In 2027 the race is on Sunday 15 August, with the weekend from 13 to 15 August. Silverstone is round 13 of 22.
What happens on a race weekend, and what time are the races?
Friday and Saturday morning have practice. Saturday afternoon brings qualifying and the Sprint, a short race that pays about half the points of the Grand Prix. Sunday has a warm-up and then the full Grand Prix.
UK start times depend on the venue. The Asian rounds run in the small hours or early morning in the UK, the Americas rounds in the evening, and the European rounds in the afternoon. Times quoted on this page are UK time, which is GMT since the clocks went back on 25 October.
What changes for the bikes in 2027?
2027 is a reset year. The bikes move to 850cc engines with less aerodynamic downforce, and the ride-height devices that lower a bike on the straights are removed. Pirelli becomes the single tyre supplier in place of Michelin, on a five-year deal to 2031. Michelin has supplied the series since 2016 and stays until the end of 2026.
Which UK channels show the races?
TNT Sports is the main live home of MotoGP in the UK, covering Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP sessions. You can get it through Sky, Virgin Media and EE, or streamed on HBO Max with a TNT Sports plan. TNT Sports moved from discovery+ to HBO Max in March 2026. Our TNT Sports TV guide lists the live schedule, and the Sky, Freeview and Virgin comparison explains the platform differences.
For free viewing, Quest shows each Sprint on a short delay and a highlights programme after each race weekend. For Malaysia, the listings show the Sprint on Quest from 08:00 on Saturday 31 October and highlights at 22:00 on Monday 2 November, both UK time. The 2024 TNT renewal said Quest would also show two live races a season, including the British GP, but we have not seen the Malaysian Grand Prix listed live on Quest.
Away from TV, MotoGP VideoPass is the series’ own streaming service, with live sessions and an archive. Availability and prices change by country, so check what it offers in the UK before you pay.
Who has the UK rights after 2026?
TNT Sports renewed with MotoGP in 2024 on a multi-year deal. We have not found an official statement on the UK broadcaster for 2027, so we are not naming one. For other racing, see the F1 schedule, and for everything else live, sport on TV today or what’s on TV tonight.

Who shows MotoGP on UK TV in 2026?
TNT Sports holds the main UK rights and shows every session live. Quest, which is free, shows each Sprint on a short delay and a highlights programme after each race weekend. TNT Sports streams on HBO Max.
Can I watch MotoGP for free in the UK?
Partly. Quest shows the Sprint races and a highlights show for free, and the 2024 TNT deal promised two live races a season on Quest, including the British GP. Most Sunday Grand Prix races are not live on a free channel in the listings we have seen, so a full live weekend needs TNT Sports.

We have not found an official announcement about the UK broadcaster for 2027. TNT Sports is the current holder, so check its announcements before the March season opener.
What changes in MotoGP in 2027?
The bikes move to 850cc engines with reduced aerodynamics, and Pirelli replaces Michelin as the sole tyre supplier under a deal running to 2031. The calendar also adds Buenos Aires and Adelaide.
