MotoGP Group is reshaping the championship’s broadcast presence across the Americas with a new two-year exclusive agreement with ESPN, beginning in 2027. Races in the United States will be carried by ESPN networks, while viewers in Latin America will have access through Disney+. The deal gives ESPN a much broader role around MotoGP, replacing the current Fox Sports arrangement in the US.

US viewers should note one important condition of the agreement: the entire calendar will not be shown live. Races outside the live schedule will be available on tape delay. ESPN therefore becomes the exclusive broadcaster from 2027 without guaranteeing that every race will air live, a distinction that will directly affect how American fans follow the championship.

The relationship between ESPN and MotoGP in Latin America dates back to 2002, the start of the four-stroke era. Bringing the partnership into the US fits MotoGP’s wider growth ambitions in the Americas, where the United States is regarded as a key development market under Liberty Media’s ownership. Carlos Ezpeleta called the agreement an important milestone and described ESPN as an effective platform for reaching new audiences. Freddy Rolon said ESPN’s rights will now extend to the United States while its Latin American coverage continues, turning a long-running regional relationship into a wider arrangement across the two markets.
