Yannick Colaco, co-founder of FanCode, said: “MotoGP is among the most exciting sporting events globally, and the growing enthusiasm for motorsports highlights its immense appeal in India. With MotoGP’s storied legacy and dynamic future, we are dedicated to delivering an unmatched viewing experience to all the Indian fans.”

Alex Arroyo, head of media rights at MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports, added: “India is a key market for us in terms of the fanbase and audience, and for our factories who race in the sport. With FanCode’s extensive reach and commitment to delivering world-class sports coverage, we are confident that this partnership will create an amazing MotoGP experience for millions across the country.”

FanCode has secured MotoGP rights ahead of the start of the 2025 season which begins with the grand prix in Thailand on the weekend of 28 February-2 March at the Chang International Circuit – the first time the season opens in South-East Asia for a quarter of a century, and the first time ever in Thailand.

In total, there will be 22 grands prix in 18 countries in 2025 with the season climaxing in Valencia, Spain in November.

MotoGP also recently renewed a key rights deal with TNT Sports, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned pay-TV broadcaster, in the UK and Ireland.

FanCode, meanwhile, agreed a new multi-year deal to broadcast golf’s elite PGA Tour in India, in late January.
