If you're looking to find out where to watch and stream the Indian MotoGP 2023 round, you've come to the right place!
MotoGP begins its run of Asian rounds at the end of the season with the first-ever Indian Motorcycle Grand Prix! Round 13 of the 2023 MotoGP season takes us to the Buddh International Circuit for the Indian GP.
Just like we did for the previous rounds in Argentina, the USA, Spain, France, Italy, Britain, Austria, Catalonia and San Marino, we're showing you where to watch and stream the 2023 Indian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
India is between 3.5 and 5.5 hours ahead of Europe, so the session times could be tricky 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 Indian MotoGP sessions.
Where to watch & stream Indian MotoGP 2023
This is India's debut on the MotoGP calendar and a huge moment for motorsport in the subcontinent. The motorcycle is the most popular method of transport in India, and as such, MotoGP is very popular in the country.
India is the most populous country in the world with over 1.4 billion people calling it home. So, there will be no shortage of fans at the Buddh International Circuit this weekend.
Formula 1 fans will remember the Buddh Circuit from its time hosting the Indian Grand Prix between 2011 and 2013. Since then, the track has also hosted rounds of the Asia Road Racing Championship and Indian Racing League.
The layout today is slightly different to its F1 days, with a tighter run around Turn 5 bypassing the Turns 6-7 chicane. The Turns 10-11 horseshoe section is also tighter than in F1 creating a Turns 8-10 complex.
Other features of the circuit include long pit and back straights to create overtaking opportunities and a huge grandstand on the main straight for fans to watch the action in.
This is the only new round on the MotoGP calendar this year after the Kazakh Grand Prix was delayed until 2024. But where can you watch and stream the Indian 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 four and a half hours behind India. The session times are slightly later in the day in Greater Noida, though, so it's not as bad as it could've been. The Sprint and Race, for example, are both on from 11 am.
Here's the full list of session times.
- Practice 1: 6:45 - 7:55, Friday 22 September
- Practice 2: 11:00 - 12:10, 22 September
- Free Practice & Qualifying: 6:10 - 7:30, Saturday 23 September
- Sprint: 11:00, 23 September
- Race: 11:00, Sunday 24 September
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 Indian GP at a later time if you're based in the states
However, with the race starting at 6 am on the east coast and 3 am on the west coast, this isn't such a bad thing. Other sessions including the sprint race and qualifying won't be shown on TV in the USA.
The Indian GP will be shown on NBC at 1:30 pm Eastern time on Sunday 24 September.
Australia
Australian MotoGP fans will actually have it easier than most this weekend, as sessions will be live in the afternoon and evening for them for a change. The race, for example, will be live from 8 pm on the East Coast.
It's even better for those in Western Australia, as it's a very comfortable 6 pm start time on Sunday. The FOX network will continue to cover the 2023 MotoGP season live in Australia.
All times are in Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC +10).
- Practice 1: 15:45 - 16:55, Friday 22 September
- Practice 2: 20:00 - 21:10, 22 September
- Free Practice & Qualifying: 15:10 - 16:30, Saturday 23 September
- Sprint: 20:00, 23 September
- Race: 20:00, Sunday 24 September
Germany
In Germany, DAZN will show all sessions live as usual for the Indian MotoGP. Servus TV will also show all races live for free, but no other sessions.
Germany is an hour ahead of the UK, so, despite the huge distance between them, there is only a three-and-a-half hour time difference between India and Germany. So, the session times are very agreeable on CET (Central European Summer Time, UTC+2):
- Practice 1: 7:45 - 8:55, Friday 22 September
- Practice 2: 12:00 - 13:10, 22 September
- Free Practice & Qualifying: 7:10 - 8:30, Saturday 23 September
