QATAR MOTOGP: HOW TO WATCH THE 2026 RACE WEEKEND

The 2026 Qatar Grand Prix takes place from Friday, November 6, to Sunday, November 8, with MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 action across the weekend. The event will not be shown live on free-to-air television in Germany, although viewers can follow it through paid services.

MotoGP.com and Sky Sport carry all 22 championship rounds, including all three classes, on a subscription basis. Germany’s DF1 will broadcast 12 selected premier-class events live and free in 2026; those races will also be available through ServusTV On and Red Bull TV. Qatar is not among the selected events, so German viewers can expect highlights rather than live coverage. RTL is due to show selected races free to air in Germany from 2027.

In Austria, ServusTV offers free coverage on its television and digital platforms, including Red Bull TV. Saturday’s broadcast begins with MotoGP qualifying at 12:30, followed from 14:40 by the Moto3 and Moto2 qualifying sessions and the MotoGP Sprint. Sunday’s races in all three classes are live from 13:20, while ServusTV On begins coverage on Friday.

Swiss coverage is split across the SRG’s language services. SRF will not show the Qatar GP on its linear television channel, but its stream and sports app will carry Saturday’s Sprint and Sunday’s MotoGP race live. RSI’s LA2 schedule includes MotoGP qualifying from 12:35 on Saturday, followed by Moto2 qualifying and the Sprint from 15:40; a recorded Moto3 qualifying session is scheduled for 17:35. On Sunday, LA2 joins the Moto2 race live at 15:40, shows a replay of Moto3, then carries the premier-class race live from 16:50, with a repeat at 22:50. RTS2 will show Saturday’s Sprint live from 16:55, but not Sunday’s races. Rights arrangements and provider packages may mean coverage is also available through other legal services.

On track, Friday’s programme starts with Moto3 practice at 11:00, followed by Moto2 at 11:50 and MotoGP at 12:45. The afternoon practice sessions begin at 15:15 for Moto3, 16:05 for Moto2 and 17:00 for MotoGP.

Saturday begins with second practice for Moto3 at 10:30, Moto2 at 11:15 and MotoGP at noon. MotoGP qualifying follows at 12:40, with Q1 and Q2, before the smaller classes qualify later in the afternoon. The 11-lap Sprint starts at 17:00.

Sunday’s MotoGP warm-up is scheduled for 12:40. The 16-lap Moto3 race starts at 14:00, the 18-lap Moto2 race at 15:15, and the 22-lap MotoGP Grand Prix at 17:00. All times are Central European Time.
