Ziggo has reported increases from 2023’s viewing numbers so far in the 2024 campaign, which began in Qatar in early March and ends in Valencia, Spain, in mid-November.

Dan Rossomondo, chief commercial officer at Dorna Sports, added: “Together, we continue to promote the world's most exciting sport in the country and we can see that clearly paying off in 2024 as audiences soar. With Ziggo Sport, we have a forward-thinking partner with extensive knowledge and expertise, offering top-quality MotoGP content on the various Ziggo Sport platforms.”

Earlier this month, Dorna Sports signed a hosting contract with the owners of the Red Bull Ring venue in Spielberg, Austria. Through that deal, MotoGP will continue to race at that circuit until at least 2030.

In early May, meanwhile, the owners of the Assen circuit also struck a hosting rights extension with Dorna through 2031.
