DF1 ADDS LIVE FREE-TO-AIR COVERAGE OF THE QATAR MOTOGP ROUND
7 Nov 2026·
MotoGP fans in Germany will be able to watch the Qatar Grand Prix live and free on DF1, after the broadcaster added the Lusail weekend to its coverage following the cancellation of the Australian round.
The broadcast begins on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. with MotoGP qualifying’s first session. DF1 is taking the feed from Austrian broadcaster ServusTV, with the partnership set to run through the end of the 2026 season. The arrangement means DF1 will show all three remaining events live: Qatar, Portimão and Valencia, including the championship-deciding finale.
Marc Márquez, the defending champion and current points leader, could secure his 10th world title in Qatar, giving the weekend added significance.
DF1 managing director David Müller said the additional race would help the channel provide live, free-to-air coverage during the season’s decisive stretch. He said the aim was to keep fans engaged through the final round and give them a compelling conclusion to the 2026 MotoGP season.
The channel will also broadcast a 60-minute programme of highlights from all three races after each of the 22 Grand Prix weekends. Viewers in Germany can watch DF1’s coverage on television or stream it through df1.de; the programmes are also available on ServusTV ON.
