Now everyone in New Zealand won’t be missing out on every detail MotoGP has to offer.

MotoGP welcomes new broadcast partner Spark Sport in New Zealand

Dorna Sports have just announced that Spark Sport will be the new and exclusive broadcast partner of MotoGP in New Zealand. The partnership will be for three years. This means that fans in New Zealand will be able to receive unrivalled coverage of the sport and stream every single race of the FIM MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 World Championships live from 2021 to at least 2023.

Spark Sport is New Zealand’s go-to for top tier broadcasting service of sport and events. Through this agreement, fans can catch the live broadcast of every Grand Prix, as well as on-demand action including full race replays, a magazine show and race highlights.

Jeff Latch, Head of Spark Sport:

“MotoGP and Formula 1 are the world’s premier motorsport competitions so Spark Sport will be providing New Zealand motorsport fans with the very best international motorsport content available.

“We’re very excited about our new partnership with MotoGP. Our ambition is to stream the world’s best sporting competitions and MotoGP definitely fits into that category, so we are incredibly proud to be in a position to bring NZ viewers live coverage of the championship.”

Manel Arroyo, Managing Director of Dorna Sports: 

“We’re very proud to announce Spark Sport as our new broadcaster for MotoGP in New Zealand and begin an exciting new partnership. Their track record gives us great confidence that our coverage in the territory will be better than ever, giving our fans the best experience possible and helping to grow our audience.

“MotoGP fans have a lot to look forward to in 2021, with a new Champion in Joan Mir trying to defend his crown in one of the most competitive eras the sport has ever seen, and fans are also hoping to see the return of eight-time World Champion Marc Marquez from injury – adding another new element of anticipation to the incredible, unpredictable racing we’ve been enjoying in the last few years. The stage is set for it to be another season of stunning action, and I’m very happy that fans in New Zealand will be able to enjoy such quality racing on Spark Sport.
