- This weekend: Australian GP, October 23-25
- Next GP: Malaysian GP, October 30 to November 1
- Where to Watch for Free: RTBF Auvio in Belgium, ServusTV in Austria
- Traveling or Blocked: Use NordVPN for Access
MotoGP is free to watch live, with every practice, sprint, and race, if you’re in the right country. Belgium’s public broadcaster RTBF streams the whole season at no cost on RTBF Auvio, and Austria’s ServusTV does the same with German commentary.
The catch is that RTBF Auvio and ServusTV check your location, so they only work with a Belgian or Austrian IP address. In most other countries, MotoGP requires a sports subscription: Fox Sports in the US, TNT Sports in the UK, and Sportsnet in Canada.
If you’d rather not pay, the setup takes about five minutes, and the steps are just below.
How to Watch MotoGP Live for Free in 2026
- Subscribe to a VPN. We recommend NordVPN, which has servers in Belgium and Austria and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Install the app on your laptop, phone, or TV and sign in.
- Connect to a server in Belgium to get a Belgian IP address.
- Create a free RTBF Auvio account with your email address or Google account.
- Open the live section on RTBF Auvio and start the session.
Where to Watch MotoGP for Free
Free MotoGP coverage comes from public and free-to-air channels that bought local rights. They’re free only in their own country, and the coverage differs from one channel to the next:
- RTBF Auvio (Belgium): every session of MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3, live and on replay, in French
- ServusTV On (Austria): every round live, in German
- SRF, RTS, and RSI (Switzerland): every round, in Swiss German, French, or Italian, with some races shown later in the evening
- TV8 (Italy): every sprint and six Grands Prix live, the other races delayed
- DF1 (Germany): 12 of the 22 rounds live, plus highlights of the rest
- Trans7 (Indonesia): free-to-air coverage of MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3
- 10 and 10Play (Australia): the Australian GP only
Only RTBF Auvio and ServusTV show the full season live, so we’d start with one of those. RTBF also renewed its MotoGP rights until 2032, so it’s not going anywhere soon.
RTBF Auvio
RTBF is the Belgian public broadcaster, and it also streams F1 races for free. Its streaming platform, RTBF Auvio, shows every MotoGP session live, from Friday practice to Sunday’s race, and keeps replays afterward. Registration requires only an email address and a password, with no card details.
The coverage is in French, which is the main drawback for English speakers. Commentary aside, the picture is in full HD. Outside Belgium, though, RTBF Auvio shows a geo-restriction message instead of the stream.
A VPN solves that by giving you a Belgian IP address, so RTBF Auvio treats you as a viewer in Belgium.
ServusTV
ServusTV is Red Bull’s Austrian TV channel, and it has free MotoGP rights in Austria until 2030. Every round streams live on ServusTV On, its website and app, in German. With an Austrian IP address, the stream works the same way from abroad.
German speakers will prefer it to RTBF Auvio’s French coverage, and it’s a useful backup on weekends when one stream gives you trouble.
MotoGP Free Live Stream: Setting Up a VPN
A VPN changes your IP address, the number websites use to work out where you are. Connect to a Belgian server, and RTBF Auvio sees a Belgian viewer. The full setup looks like this. Start with a reliable VPN.
We use NordVPN for this. It has Belgian and Austrian servers, unlimited data, and apps for phones, computers, and TV devices. Subscribe, then install the app on the device you’ll watch on.
Open the app, search for Belgium in the location list, and click it to connect. For ServusTV, pick Austria instead.

Then go to RTBF Auvio and create your free account. It didn’t ask me for a postal code, but if a form requires one, any valid Belgian code from an online ZIP code generator works. Confirm your email if prompted, open the live section, and the session starts.

If the page still shows a region error after you connect, clear the site’s cookies and reload, or pick a different Belgian server. Want to watch only one race? NordVPN’s 30-day money-back guarantee covers that, and the two-year plan costs under $3.50 a month if you keep it.
Paid MotoGP Live Streams by Country
Outside the free channels, MotoGP belongs to pay TV. These services stream it in English, often with more camera angles and studio coverage, but they work only in their home country. Abroad, a subscriber still requires a VPN connected back home.
MotoGP in the US: Fox Sports

Fox Sports has the US rights. Most races air on FS1 and FS2, with the occasional race on the main FOX channel. The simplest way to stream them is Fox One, Fox’s own app, at about $20 a month with a short free trial for new users. FS1 is also part of live TV services such as Fubo, Sling, and YouTube TV, which make sense if you also watch Wimbledon or the NFL.
There’s also a free MotoGP channel in the US. It’s an ad-supported channel on Prime Video, Fire TV, Plex, LG Channels, and Sling Freestream, with live practice, qualifying, and Moto2 and Moto3 races. For the Grand Prix itself, Fox is the reliable option.
On a large TV, these streams justify the price more easily, and MotoGP looks great on an Android smart TV. On a trip abroad, Fox One shows a region error, so connect your VPN to a US server first.
MotoGP in the UK: TNT Sports

TNT Sports shows every MotoGP session live in the UK, with English commentary. Since March, it streams on HBO Max, where the TNT Sports plan costs about £31 a month, or about £26 a month on a 12-month saver plan. Sky, Virgin, and EE customers can also add TNT Sports to their TV package.
That’s a lot for one sport, especially next to a free stream and a VPN at a few pounds a month. TNT Sports also works only in the UK and Ireland, so, as with US TV channels, subscribers who travel require a VPN to keep watching.
MotoGP in Canada: Sportsnet

Canada has no free MotoGP stream. Races air on Sportsnet and REV TV on cable, and online on Sportsnet+. Rogers increased Sportsnet+ prices in September, and the Standard plan, which covers MotoGP, now costs about CA$35 a month or about CA$270 a year.
Sportsnet+ also covers the NHL and MLB, so it’s better value for fans of those leagues. Like the rest, it works only in Canada.
MotoGP in Australia and Elsewhere
In Australia, Fox Sports shows every session, streamed on Kayo and Foxtel. Network 10 and 10Play show only the Australian GP for free, and this weekend’s race is Phillip Island’s last before MotoGP moves to Adelaide in 2027.
Elsewhere, these services have the rights:
- Spain: DAZN, including through Movistar and Orange
- Portugal: Sport TV
- Italy: Sky Sport and NOW, with TV8 as the free option
- Germany: Sky and WOW, with DF1 as the free option
- Malaysia: Astro Grandstand and Astro Sports Plus, streamed on Astro GO and sooka
- Thailand: True4U and SPOTV on TrueVisions Now
- Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam: SPOTV and SPOTV Now
- India: FanCode
- Croatia, Serbia, and the rest of Southeast Europe: SportKlub
MotoGP VideoPass
VideoPass is MotoGP’s official streaming service, with every session live in English, onboard cameras, and an archive of past races. A monthly pass costs about €30. The season pass costs more up front, but its price drops as the season goes on, and an optional TimingPass adds live timing data.
For fans in a country with no free coverage, VideoPass is the official way to watch in English. It’s not free, but new members can try it for free in the days before a Grand Prix, at least according to MotoGP’s help center.
You can sign up on the MotoGP VideoPass page, and the trial converts into a paid plan if you don’t cancel it.
Best VPNs to Watch MotoGP for Free
A VPN for this requires servers in Belgium or Austria and enough speed for a full HD stream. These five have servers in both countries, and most streaming VPNs on our list do too:
- NordVPN: our pick for MotoGP. It has servers in 152 countries, including Belgium and Austria, next-gen antivirus that also blocks pop-up ads, and apps for every major device, with up to ten connected at once.
- Proton VPN: our second pick, for privacy. It’s based in Switzerland, has streaming servers in Belgium and Austria, and its Stealth protocol works on networks that block VPNs. The free version doesn’t let you pick Belgium or Austria, so the paid plan is required for this.
- ExpressVPN: the easiest app to set up, which helps on a TV with a remote. It’s also one of the fastest VPNs we tested, and it has Belgian and Austrian servers.
- Private Internet Access: unlimited devices on one subscription and servers in 113 countries, for about $2 a month on a long plan.
- Surfshark: covers unlimited devices and works well with streaming services, at a low price on a two-year plan.
The five come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Free VPNs are a poor fit. They rarely offer Belgian servers, and their monthly data limits can end partway through a race.

Conclusion
Paying for MotoGP is optional. RTBF Auvio streams every session of the season for free, ServusTV covers every round with German commentary, and a VPN connected to Belgium or Austria makes either one work from abroad.
The only trade-off is the language, since neither stream is in English. For English commentary, VideoPass is the official option in most countries, and Fox One, TNT Sports, and Sportsnet+ cover the US, the UK, and Canada.
For the free option, set up NordVPN and your RTBF Auvio account before Friday practice, so the first session of the weekend isn’t the one you spend signing up.
