The MotoGP 2023 season has arrived with a revitalised, recharged stable of riders ready to be unleashed on circuits across the globe.

Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia will be back in 2023 hoping to secure back-to-back titles in more convincing fashion this time around following a patchy yet triumphant season.

Former champion Fabio Quartararo returns to continue his growing rivalry with Bagnaia at the top of the tree – can anyone muscle their way into title contention with that duo in hot form?

Fans will be keen to tune in from the very first week as riders jostle for early superiority and, in a tight season, every result is crucial.

British viewers will be armed with options to trace their way through the MotoGP campaign, including highlights and two races to be shown on free-to-air TV.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details on how to watch MotoGP throughout the 2023 season.
