New free-to-air detail in 2025 UK MotoGP broadcast deal

The 2025 MotoGP television broadcast deal has been announced.

TNT Sports will remain the home of MotoGP in the UK and Ireland after agreeing a new multi-year agreement.

They will continue to show live broadcasts of every MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 session.

But sprint races will now be available on free TV in a major change, and a huge boost for UK-based MotoGP fans.

The sprint race, on the Saturday at each round, will be broadcast live in 2025 on free-to-air channel Quest.

Quest will also broadcast two live (and free) MotoGP grands prix in 2025, including the British GP.

TNT Sports and discovery+ will also broadcast the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR), the FIM MotoE World Championship and competitions from the Road to MotoGP, the talent promotion initiative aimed at increasing the accessibility of motorcycle racing.
