2025 Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island: Start times and how to watch
Information below on how to watch the 2025 Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island, including timings and schedule.
This is how to watch the 2025 Australian MotoGP on October 17-19.
We’ve also listed the start times for all of this weekend’s MotoGP sessions below, in both local Australian time and UK time.
Having wrapped up the 2025 title in Japan, Marc Marquez was injured on the opening lap of the Indonesian Grand and will miss at least the next two rounds as he recovers from injuries to his right collarbone.
With Marquez - who took his fourth Australian MotoGP win at Phillip Island last year and has dominated the 2025 season - now out of action, victory has become a viable target for a range of different riders and manufacturers.
Marco Bezzecchi was in red-hot form with pole and victory in the Mandalika Sprint, before his Grand Prix mistake opened the door to rookie first-time winner Fermin Aldeguer (Gresini Ducati).
Aldeguer joins Marc Marquez (11), Alex Marquez (2), Francesco Bagnaia (2), Bezzecchi (1) and Johann Zarco (1) in winning a grand prix this season.
Standing alongside Aldeguer on the podium, but still missing from the premier-class victory list is KTM’s Pedro Acosta, who missed last year’s grand prix due to an injury in the Sprint.
With Marquez missing, even greater attention will be focused on the fortunes of factory Ducati team-mate Francesco Bagnaia, who enjoyed a perfect weekend at Motegi - on a rumoured GP24-25 hybrid - then a ‘disaster’ at Mandalika.
That has handed Alex Marquez a big 88-point cushion over Bagnaia in the battle to secure second in the world championship, whose third place is back under attack from Bezzecchi, now within 20 points of his fellow VR46 Academy rider.
