How to watch MotoGP for free in Australia
Network 10 has confirmed free-to-air coverage of the final Phillip Island MotoGP weekend, giving Australian viewers an opportunity to watch the event without a paid sports subscription.
The broadcaster will carry live coverage on Saturday and Sunday, including the main attractions of the farewell programme.
The agreement is particularly significant because the 2026 event marks the end of Phillip Island’s long association with the Australian motorcycle Grand Prix.
The circuit hosted its first world championship event in 1989 and became the permanent Australian venue again in 1997.
For viewers who want complete coverage of practice, qualifying and every session, Fox Sports, Foxtel and Kayo Sports offer additional options.
Kayo provides live streaming and on-demand replays on compatible devices, while Foxtel carries the championship through its sports television services.
The Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix’s official viewing guide details the available platforms.
How to watch the Australian MotoGP in the UK
TNT Sports is the official MotoGP broadcaster in the United Kingdom, carrying practice, qualifying, the sprint and Sunday’s Grand Prix.
Viewers can access coverage through eligible television subscriptions and the broadcaster’s supported streaming services.
The Australian Grand Prix begins at 03:00 GMT on Sunday, October 25, after the United Kingdom switches from British Summer Time to Greenwich Mean Time.
Saturday’s sprint starts at 05:00 BST, making the difference between the two sessions particularly important for British viewers.
The time change takes place during the early hours of Sunday, meaning Saturday’s and Sunday’s MotoGP events use different UK time-zone designations.
MotoGP VideoPass also provides an international streaming option in territories where the service is available.
How to watch the Australian MotoGP in India
Indian fans can follow MotoGP through FanCode, which provides official championship coverage.
The sprint starts at 09:30 IST on Saturday, October 24, while the main Grand Prix begins at 08:30 IST on Sunday, October 25.
Viewers should check the FanCode app or website for the available subscription packages and the precise coverage offered for the Australian round.
The early-morning timing makes Phillip Island more accessible to Indian viewers than several European or American Grands Prix.

Phillip Island prepares historic MotoGP farewell
The Australian Grand Prix will leave Phillip Island after the 2026 event, with Adelaide taking over from next season.
The change brings an end to one of the championship’s most recognisable venues, famous for its fast corners, coastal winds and demanding tyre conditions.
The farewell celebrations will feature Casey Stoner, Mick Doohan and Wayne Gardner, who will participate in a ceremonial lap.
Australia’s three premier-class world champions will reunite at Phillip Island, with Kevin Schwantz also joining the celebrations.
The event carries additional significance because Martín and Márquez are separated by just two points in the championship.
The field will be missing several riders because of injuries.
Toprak Razgatlıoğlu has been ruled out for the rest of the season, while Fermín Aldeguer will also miss the Australian round.
