Stream Qatar MotoGP on Foxtel
Like Kayo, Foxtel iQ is broadcasting every round of the MotoGP Championship live, including the practice and qualifying sessions, as well as the race itself. You'll need a Foxtel pay TV subscription and then you'll need to add the Sport pack ($29 a month) to the Foxtel Plus package ($49 a month) to tune in. At a monthly cost of $74 a month, it's much more expensive than Kayo Sports if you only want access to sports content. Once that's done, you can watch MotoGP live on TV or stream races to your mobile device/laptop with the Foxtel GO app. The app is free for all Foxtel clients.
Another option for those eager to keep up with everything MotoGP-related is Foxtel Now, the pay TV giant's live streaming platform. It enables you to watch Foxtel content live and on demand, so it may be a worthy alternative to the traditional pay TV subscription.
To watch MotoGP live, you will need to add the Sport pack, which costs $29 a month, to the base Essentials pack, which is $25 a month. This does mean you get access to a lot of great non-sports content as well, but it does cost $54 a month and you don't get the user interface or viewing features of Kayo Sports.
Thankfully, Foxtel Now offers new subscribers a 10-day free trial. The service is compatible with iOS and Android devices, PCs, Macs, Chromecast, AirPlay, Sony Android TV, PS4, Telstra TV, Samsung TV (2017 models or later) and the Foxtel Now box.
Who will win the Qatar MotoGP?
Last season saw some of the closest race finishes in years, and it also saw every manufacturer land a podium finish at one point or another. So all that points to an enthralling and entertaining 2022 season.
Defending champion Fabio Quartararo should be confident heading to Qatar, with Yamaha the most successful team in the venue's history, including a pair of victories at the circuit last year.
Expect 8-time champion Marc Márquez to push hard, with Australia's Jack Miller in the mix for a strong start also.
