MotoGP has agreed to a two-season media rights deal that makes ESPN its exclusive U.S. rights holder for 2027 and 2028, the championship announced November 12.
Grand Prix events will appear on ESPN networks and platforms in the United States live or on same-day delay. The announcement did not provide a race-by-race channel schedule or promise that every event would air live.
The agreement also covers key Latin American markets, where ESPN’s coverage includes streaming through Disney+ Plan Premium. That streaming provision is described for Latin America; the announcement does not establish equivalent U.S. Disney+ availability.
The deal permits sublicensing selected events to local free-to-air broadcasters in Argentina and Brazil. MotoGP said its ESPN relationship in Latin America began in 2002 and has covered 18 countries.
For programming teams and viewers planning next season, the immediate change is a new U.S. rights home after the current arrangement ends in 2026. Specific channel assignments, airtimes and U.S. streaming access remain details to confirm as the 2027 schedule approaches.
