2023 Qatar MotoGP

This is the place you need to be to find out where to watch and stream the Qatar MotoGP 2023!

MotoGP is heading towards the end of the season as we make our only visit to the Middle East in 2023. This weekend is Round 19 of the 2023 MotoGP season, which takes place in Losail for the Qatar Motorcycle Grand Prix!

Just like we did for the previous rounds in Italy, Britain, Austria, Catalonia, San Marino, India, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand and Malaysia, we're showing you where to watch and stream the 2023 Qatar Motorcycle Grand Prix.

Qatar is only between 1-3 hours ahead of Europe, so the session times should be alright for those in Europe and the Americas. Viewers in Asia and Australasia could have it tough though, as this is MotoGP's only night race of the season.

Here's everything you need to know about the 2023 Qatar MotoGP sessions.

Qatar is MotoGP's sole Middle Eastern race, but has been on the calendar since the Losail International Circuit was completed in 2004. Losail is also home to the Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix as well.

Losail is built for motorbike racing, as its long pit straight promotes overtaking and the in-field section is full of high-speed corners. The fact this is a night race too means Qatar provides a unique challenge for the MotoGP riders.

The most successful riders in Qatar are Casey Stoner and the Great Valentino Rossi. Both of these champions won at Losail four times each during their illustrious playing careers.

Next up on the all-time winners list is Jorge Lorenzo with a hat-trick of wins in Qatar. Maverick Vinales is the most successful rider on the current MotoGP grid in Qatar, with a pair of victories to his name.

The other winners on the current grid include Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini. Interestingly, both title contenders Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin have never won here.

Here's where you can watch and stream the Qatar MotoGP 2023!

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 three hours behind Qatar, but with the session times being at night in Losail, this will make for sociable viewing times. The Race and Sprint, for example, start at 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Here's the full list of session times:

  • Practice 1: 12:45 - 13:30, Friday 17 November
  • Practice 2: 17:00 - 18:00, 17 November
  • Free Practice & Qualifying: 12:00 - 13:20, Saturday 18 November
  • Sprint: 17:00, 18 November
  • Race: 17:00, Sunday 19 November

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 Qatar GP at a later time if you're based in the states

The race is on at a comfortable time for a change in the US, with it starting a midday on the east coast and 9 am on the west coast.

Other sessions including the sprint race and qualifying won't be shown on TV in the USA. The Qatar GP will be shown on CNBC at 3 pm Eastern time on Sunday 18 November.
