The 2026 MotoGP season is officially underway, following a dominant victory by Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) at the season opener in Thailand on March 1. As the championship prepares for its next rounds, the league is focusing on digital accessibility and “premiumization.”
Pakistan Media Rights: Begin Streaming
Begin, a UAE-based streaming service, has secured the exclusive rights to broadcast the 2026 MotoGP campaign in Pakistan.
- Full Coverage: The deal includes every practice session, qualifying round, the Saturday Sprints, and the Sunday Grand Prix races.
- Strategic Shift: Begin is moving away from the crowded cricket market to focus on underserved “premium” sports categories like motorsports, targeting a younger, digital-native audience.
Global Hospitality: The Quint Partnership
In a multi-year exclusive agreement, MotoGP has partnered with Quint (a travel and events specialist) to manage and elevate hospitality across all 22 Grand Prix events.
- Liberty Synergy: This partnership integrates two major Liberty Media acquisitions. Liberty purchased Quint for $313 million in 2024 and finalized its $3.1 billion takeover of MotoGP in July 2025.
- Experience Focus: The goal is to modernize the “VIP Village” and create high-end, immersive fan experiences similar to F1’s successful Paddock Club.
