2026 Misano MotoGP: Start times and how to watch
Information below on how to watch this weekend’s 2026 Misano MotoGP round, including timings and schedule.
This is how to watch the 2026 San Marino MotoGP at Misano, round 14 of the world championship, which takes place from 11-13 September.
We’ve also listed the start times for all this weekend’s MotoGP sessions below, in both local time and UK time.
There will be plenty of home pride at stake as MotoGP arrives for the final Italian-based round with Ducati’s reigning champion Marc Marquez now sandwiched between title leader Jorge Martin and Aprilia team-mate Marco Bezzecchi.
Any one of the trio could be on top of the world on Sunday evening, with Martin now 19 points clear of Marquez, after the Spaniard’s double win at Aragon, and Bezzecchi closing to 24 points adrift.
Bezzecchi qualified on pole at Misano last season, then won the Sprint after a rare mistake by Marquez before a thrilling head-to-head battle in the grand prix.
The pair were in a class of their own as they traded fastest race laps, with Marquez holding off Bezzecchi by just half a second at the chequered flag. Gresini’s Alex Marquez was almost eight seconds behind in third.
Marc Marquez’s team-mate and former double Misano winner Pecco Bagnaia will be making his final Italian appearance in red, with Fabio di Giannantonio and Alex Marquez competing in their last Misano for the local VR46 and Gresini Ducati teams.
Diggia starts the event 48 points behind Martin and five points clear of Ai Ogura, who dropped to fifth in the world championship after missing Aragon due to a hand injury in training.
Future factory Ducati rider Pedro Acosta now splits the Trackhouse riders in sixth, after an impressive runner-up finish for KTM at Aragon.
