This is how to watch the 2026 Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang, round 19 of the world championship, which takes place from 30 October-1 November.
We’ve also listed the start times for all this weekend’s MotoGP sessions below, in both local time and UK time.
Marc Marquez arrives at Sepang holding the title lead by ten points over injured rival Jorge Martin.
Martin lost the world championship advantage and suffered a fracture to his wrist when he fell while battling Marquez for victory at last Saturday’s Phillip Island.

That ruled Martin out of Sunday’s grand prix, but he was then saved from any further loss of points when the main race was cancelled due to a lack of visibility for the medical helicopter.
Martin is now set to travel to Malaysia, where he will need to pass a Thursday medical check before trying to ride.
Aprilia team-mate Marco Bezzecchi will start the event 50 points from the top, but the RS-GPs could face a tough challenge against the Ducatis this weekend.
Pecco Bagnaia (Sprint) and Alex Marquez (Grand Prix) won at Sepang last year, when the top Aprilia in the grand prix was Ai Ogura in tenth.
Bezzecchi was then the lone Aprilia in an all-Ducati top six at the end of this year’s pre-season test, with Alex Marquez again fastest and Marc in fourth behind Fabio di Giannantonio.

Marc had been riding for the first time since his Mandalika shoulder injuries, while Martin - injured at Sepang in early 2025 - was absent due to winter collarbone surgery.
