2026 Sachsenring MotoGP, Germany: Start times and how to watch
Information below on how to watch this weekend’s 2026 Sachsenring MotoGP round in Germany, including timings and schedule.
This is how to watch the 2026 Sachsenring MotoGP in Germany, round eleven of the world championship, which takes place from 10-12 July.
We’ve also listed the start times for all this weekend’s MotoGP sessions below, in both local time and UK time.
There’s a change at the top of the MotoGP standings heading into Sachsenring, the final event before the summer break, with Jorge Martin re-taking the advantage from Aprilia team-mate Marco Bezzecchi at Assen.
But both factory RS-GP riders were outshone by Trackhouse Aprilia duo Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura, who finished one-two in the both Dutch races, including a debut victory for Ogura in the grand prix.
While Martin completed the podium in third, Bezzecchi was sent for hospital checks after a fast early fall marked his fourth non-score in five races.
Martin is now seven points clear of the Italian but with VR46 Ducati’s Fabio di Giannantonio now only 16 behind while Ogura also has a mathematical chance to lead the world championship standings on Sunday evening.
After an ‘anonymous’ weekend in Assen, all eyes will be on Marc Marquez in Germany, as the reigning champion returns to his most successful track aiming to cut a 40-point deficit.
Fernandez, KTM’s Pedro Acosta and Marquez’s Ducati Lenovo team-mate Pecco Bagnaia complete a title top eight covered by 63 points.
After an early ban was introduced on front holeshot devices last time at Assen, Sachsenring will be the first event to feature the new grid format with wider spacing between each row.
