MotoGP is a privately owned company headquartered in Spain, operating with an estimated 210 employees and reporting $573.0M in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the company specializes in motorsports and cycling, and is under the parent companies Liberty Media and MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group. Founded in 1949, the company's core offering is Grand Prix motorcycle racing, which represents the highest class of motorcycle road racing events held on road circuits sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). Independent motorcycle racing events have been held since the start of the twentieth century, with large national events often bearing the title Grand Prix. The establishment of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme in 1949 as the international governing body for motorcycle sport facilitated the coordination of rules and regulations, allowing selected events to contribute to official World Championships. It holds the distinction of being the oldest established motorsport world championship.
On March 15, 2026, MotoGP announced the postponement of the Qatar Grand Prix, originally scheduled for April, to November 6-8. The decision, made following consultations between championship organizers the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), the promoter, and local authorities in Qatar, cited ongoing concerns regarding the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. The event at the Lusail International Circuit had been in doubt after joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 plunged the region into conflict, disrupting travel and forcing the rescheduling of major sporting events. The race will now take place on November 8. Previously, on March 13, 2026, Michele Pirro's lap times on Ducati’s 2027 prototype at Jerez were being compared to Marc Marquez’s benchmark. This comes ahead of the 2027 season, when MotoGP rules will change, transitioning from 1000cc bikes to 850cc with scaled-back aerodynamics and technology.
MotoGP sells broadcasting rights of its motorsports competitions to 60 companies globally, covering 11 countries. MotoGP's rights holders include PCCW.
