After the arrival of the Trackhouse Racing team on the grid, MotoGP is ready to define another piece of its growth plan in the United States of America. According to what has been reported by Sports Business Journal, the championship managed by Dorna is in fact in an advanced stage of negotiations with Warner Bros. Discovery, with which it is close to making an agreement to give the network the rights to broadcast the 2024 season in the United States.
According to the sources of the North Carolina-based newspaper, MotoGP is therefore preparing to change television broadcaster in America after the end of the agreement with NBC, broadcaster of the championship since 2020. The announcement is expected in the next few days and the manoeuvre would allow the championship to increase its diffusion on US soil, and at the same time grow its audience, through the live broadcast on cable TV of all the sprint races and the main Sunday Grands Prix. A change of direction compared to the past, given that most of the races included in the agreement stipulated with NBC Sports were not broadcast live on television in the United States.
Although MotoGP has also had talks with Fox, which is currently negotiating to take over the rights to IndyCar from 2025, the move to the Warner Bros. Discovery network, which already holds the television rights to the championship in countries such as the United Kingdom, now seems certain.
