2023 MotoGP British Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

Following a month-long summer break, the 2023 MotoGP season resumes this weekend with the British GP. 

This year, MotoGP will use the same layout and paddock as Formula 1 at Silverstone, which means Copse will now serve as the opening turn.

MotoGP has also tweaked its weekend format for the second half of the season and beyond, with times from only the second practice session determining which riders will progress directly into Q2.

As part of the overhaul, the second practice session of the weekend will simply be known as Practice and the third practice will be rechristened FP2.
