Are MotoGP Highlights available on Channel 10?
Due to a long-term broadcasting agreement, channel ten will only be able to televise one MotoGP race live – the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island (18-20 October, 2024).
This is similar to Ten’s coverage of Formula One, where the free to air broadcaster have TV rights to the 2024 Australian Grand Prix.
Channel Ten, via 10 Bold and 10 Play, did previously have the rights to show one-hour MotoGP racing highlights on the Monday evening following that weekend’s Grand Prix.
So far here in 2024, however, Channel Ten has not yet posted anything about offering MotoGP highlights so it’s likely that option is no longer available. The lone exception would once again be the Phillip Island Grand Prix.
