QATAR MOTOGP: WHERE TO WATCH THE SPRINT AND GRAND PRIX LIVE

MotoGP’s Qatar Grand Prix weekend has a split broadcast picture across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with the Saturday sprint scheduled for 17:00 CET on 7 November 2026. The 11-lap race follows MotoGP practice and qualifying, while the 22-lap Grand Prix is set for Sunday at 17:00.

In Germany, Qatar was not originally among the 12 MotoGP events selected for free live coverage on DF1 in 2026, but it was added after the Australian races were cancelled. The event is therefore available live on DF1 and digitally through ServusTV On and Red Bull TV. The other selected races are also shown on those platforms, while remaining meetings receive highlights. The full season is available through paid subscriptions to motogp.com and Sky Sport, which both cover all 22 rounds and all three classes. ServusTV ended its linear broadcasting in Germany at the turn of 2023–24 and now works with DF1 on coverage. RTL is due to show selected races free-to-air in Germany from 2027.

Austrian viewers can watch the championship free on ServusTV’s broadcast and digital platforms, including Red Bull TV. ServusTV On has been broadcasting since Friday, and Sunday’s live coverage of all three classes begins at 13:20.

In Switzerland, the rights belong to SRG, whose coverage is carried in German by SRF, French by RTS and Italian by RSI. SRF two will not show the Qatar event on linear television, but its stream and sports app will carry Sunday’s MotoGP race live. RTS2 is scheduled to show Saturday’s sprint from 16:55, but will not broadcast Sunday’s races. RSI’s LA2 joins live on Sunday for Moto2 at 15:40, followed by a Moto3 replay and the MotoGP Grand Prix live at 16:50; a repeat of the premier-class race is scheduled for 22:50.

Saturday’s on-track programme begins with Moto3 practice at 10:30, Moto2 practice at 11:15 and MotoGP practice at noon. MotoGP qualifying runs from 12:40, with the second session starting at 13:05. Moto3 qualifying is scheduled for 14:50 and 15:15, followed by Moto2 qualifying at 15:45 and 16:10. Sunday’s MotoGP warm-up is at 12:40, ahead of the Moto3 race at 14:00, Moto2 at 15:15 and the 22-lap MotoGP race at 17:00.

Broadcast availability can vary because of secondary rights, reception methods and individual provider channel line-ups, so viewers may need to check their local services for legal access.
