2024 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

MotoGP travels to Losail this weekend for the start of the 2024 season. Here's the full schedule for the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix.

Qatar will host the season-opening round of MotoGP again this year, having been placed at the back-end of the 2023 campaign to allow for the track to be resurfaced.

Ducati looks like the favourite for victory at the Losail International Circuit, given the strong form it enjoyed in pre-season testing in both Malaysia and the same Qatari venue.

Marc Marquez will gather a lot of attention too, as he makes his first competitive outing with the Italian marque after leaving Honda with a year remaining on his contract.
