2026 Spanish MotoGP at Jerez: How to watch and full schedule

This is how to watch the 2026 MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix from Jerez, which marks round four of the season and takes place from 24-26 April.

We’ve also listed the start times for all of this weekend’s MotoGP sessions below, in both local time and UK time.

MotoGP returns after an unintended month-long break since the US Grand Prix, owing to Qatar’s postponement from its mid-April slot due to the Iran war.

Aprilia comes to Jerez looking to maintain its 100% grand prix record in 2026, with Marco Bezzecchi unbeaten thus far.

The Italian brand and Bezzecchi is now on a five grand prix victory streak dating back to the Portuguese round last year.

However, all eyes will be on Ducati to see if the break has allowed it to close the gap on its Italian rival, with the reigning champion scoring just one Sunday podium so far.

Ducati’s Gigi Dall’Igna is also confident that Marc Marquez will return to Jerez at 100% fitness, having suffered with his shoulder in the first three races.

Ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, Tech3 has already confirmed that Maverick Vinales will not participate, following surgery on an old shoulder injury at the start of April.

It had hoped to field KTM test rider Pol Espargaro in his place, but he is also injured. Therefore, Tech3 will only have one bike on the grid.
