MotoGP, a final farewell to Phillip Island—and watch the time! The 2026 schedule

For Europe, the Australian GP is always the earliest start of the year. After Aprilia’s total domination at the last MotoGP round in Indonesia, what will the final farewell to Phillip Island look like before the move to Adelaide in 2027? That is, if opposition allows... In Moto3, the title battle is already over, with Maximo Quiles crowned 2026 champion, while in Moto2 Izan Guevara and championship leader Manuel Gonzalez are now separated by just 5.5 points, with several Grands Prix still to come. It looks like a repeat of Moreira’s comeback in 2025... Also, remember that daylight saving time ends overnight from Saturday to Sunday, when the clocks go back one hour. Below are all the times for the Australian Grand Prix, with full live coverage on Sky Sport and streaming on SkyGo and NowTV. TV8 is scheduled to show Saturday’s action live, including qualifying and the Sprint, with delayed coverage of all Sunday’s races.
