If you're looking to find out where to watch and stream the Australian MotoGP 2023 round, you've come to the right place!
MotoGP takes a slight detour from its run of Asian rounds at the end of the season by heading south to The Land Down Under with the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix! Round 16 of the 2023 MotoGP season takes us to Phillip Island, Victoria for the Australian GP.
Just like we did for the previous rounds in the USA, Spain, France, Italy, Britain, Austria, Catalonia, San Marino, India, Japan and Indonesia we're showing you where to watch and stream the 2023 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Victoria is between 8-10 hours ahead of Europe, so the session times will be tough for those in Europe and the Americas. Viewers in Asia and Australasia should have it easier than normal though!
Here's everything you need to know about the 2023 Australian MotoGP sessions.
Where to watch & stream Australian MotoGP 2023
Australia has been a mainstay on the MotoGP calendar since 1989. Phillip Island is located near Melbourne in the state of Victoria and has hosted the event since 1997.
Aussies love sport and motorcycle racing is no exception. World Champions Mick Doohan, Wayne Gardner and Casey Stoner all hail from Aus and current rider Jack Miller is the sole home rider competing this weekend.
Phillip Island is renowned as one of the toughest tracks on the MotoGP calendar. It's high-speed and has a severe lack of run-off by the standards of modern circuits.
Historically, the most successful rider her is Stoner, who won a record six Australian Grands Prix in a row between 2007 and 2012. Valentino Rossi almost matched that record with five victories to his name.
Marc Marquez and Mick Doohan have a trio of wins in Australia, making them the only other riders to have three or more wins. Alex Rins and Maverick Vinales are the only other riders on the current grid to have won here.
Francesco Bagnaia is the heavy favourite coming into this one, as he won excellently last weekend in Mandalika, Indonesia. But where can you watch and stream the Australian MotoGP 2023? Let's find out!
UK
We'll begin with the UK, where all sessions will be shown live on TNT Sport. TNT Sport is the only channel to see all sessions of the 2023 season live in the UK.
The UK is ten hours behind Victoria and with the session times being around where they should be at local time, these will be very hard to catch in the UK. The Sprint and Race, for example, are both on from 5 am and 4 am, respectively.
Here's the full list of session times.
- Practice 1: 0:45 - 1:30, Friday 20 October
- Practice 2: 5:00 - 6:20, 20 October

- Race: 4:00, Sunday 22 October
USA
MotoGP coverage in the United States is on NBC. Unfortunately, only the Americas GP is shown live on NBC in the USA in 2023, so you'll need to catch the Australian GP at a later time if you're based in the states
However, with the race starting at 11 pm on Saturday on the east coast, this isn't such a bad thing. Although, an 8pm start on the West Coast isn't so bad.
Other sessions including the sprint race and qualifying won't be shown on TV in the USA. The Australian GP will be shown on CNBC at 1:30 pm Eastern time on Sunday 22 October.
Australia
Australian MotoGP fans will actually have it easier than most this weekend for their home race. Sessions will be on in the morning and afternoon The race, for example, will be live from 2 pm on the East Coast.
