ESPN, the official MotoGP app and Marca compared as companions for the 2026 season — results, standings, rider news, VideoPass and where races stream.
The 2026 MotoGP World Championship puts Marc Márquez, Jorge Martín and Pecco Bagnaia at the front of one of the most open seasons in years, and a phone is how most fans actually follow it — live timing during the race, standings after it, and news through the week. General sports apps cover the championship with mixed depth: strong on results and headlines, weaker when you want telemetry or the race stream itself. For this guide we looked at the apps an English-speaking fan can rely on during a race weekend; one broad sports app, ESPN, made the cut as a free companion, while the official options stay worth knowing about for anything deeper.
ESPN covers MotoGP with an international angle — results, World Championship standings and rider news — for free inside a much broader sports app.
ESPN is the world's largest sports network, and its app bundles the championship into an unusually broad feed: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, tennis, boxing, UFC and football including MLS and international leagues all sit alongside MotoGP. For racing specifically it provides results, World Championship standings and news on every rider at no cost, which makes it a useful free companion on a race weekend, especially for fans who already follow American sports. Its limits are about focus and rights. The app is oriented toward the US market, its European football coverage trails specialists like FotMob or SofaScore, and ESPN+ live streams are not available in Spain — for watching the races themselves, Spanish rights belong to DAZN and Movistar+.
Pros
Free race results and championship standings
Unrivalled NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL coverage
Free video clips of the best moments
Cons
App built mainly for the US market
ESPN+ streams unavailable in Spain
Less depth than motorsport-specific apps

Questions & answers
What is the official MotoGP app?
The official app is simply called MotoGP (com.dorna.officialmotogp), published by Dorna. It includes live results and timing, telemetry, pit-lane radio, championship standings and access to MotoGP VideoPass for streaming races, and it is the fastest source of official results during a Grand Prix weekend. If you want data beyond headlines — sector times, rider chatter, onboards — that is where it lives.
Where can I watch MotoGP in Spain in 2026?
DAZN holds the main broadcasting rights for MotoGP in Spain for the 2026 season, with the full championship on its streaming service. RTVE also broadcasts some races free to air, so a handful of rounds remain watchable without a subscription. Movistar+ has historically carried coverage as well; check the current season's listings before each round, since free-to-air slots can change from year to year.
Which app has the fastest MotoGP results?
The official MotoGP app is the fastest for official results, since the timing data comes straight from Dorna during sessions and races. Marca and ESPN also update quickly with race reports and standings, so either works well as a free second screen for headlines. For live timing and sector positions as they happen, the official app is ahead; for post-race analysis, the general sports outlets catch up within minutes.
How many races are on the 2026 MotoGP calendar?
The 2026 calendar has 22 Grand Prix rounds around the world, from the season opener through the flyaway races at the end of the year. You can check dates, circuits and session times in the official MotoGP app, which keeps the full schedule updated as weekends approach — useful when practice and qualifying air at unusual times on the other side of the world.
