MotoGP has a dedicated channel on the Roku Channel Store, and I’ve been using it on my Roku Ultra to keep up with races. The channel gives you two tiers of access: free documentaries through The Roku Channel partnership and a paid VideoPass subscription for live racing across MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, and MotoE.
Setup takes about 5 minutes. Here’s how I got it working.
- Free MotoGP documentaries are available on Roku through The Roku Channel at no cost
- VideoPass subscription pricing varies by region and covers live races plus the full archive
- Setup takes under 5 minutes with a channel install and activation code entry on MotoGP.com
- All current Roku devices supported including Express, Streaming Stick 4K+, Ultra, and Roku TVs
- Race archive goes back to 1992 with replays typically available within 12 hours of race finish
#What Can You Watch on the MotoGP Roku Channel?
The MotoGP channel on Roku splits into free and paid content. Both are accessible from the same app once you install it.
Free content (no subscription needed):
- Documentaries: Hitting the Apex, Faster, Fastest, Ring of Fire, The Doctor, The Tornado and The Kentucky Kid
- New films added periodically through The Roku Channel partnership
Paid content (VideoPass required):
- Live coverage of MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, and MotoE race weekends
- Replays, highlights, and session recaps
- Classic archived races dating back to 1992
- Behind-the-scenes footage and rider interviews
If you’re into motorsports on Roku, you can also watch NASCAR on Roku through similar dedicated channels.
#How Do You Install the MotoGP Channel on Roku?
The MotoGP channel is published by Dorna Sports and available directly in the Roku Channel Store. I tested this on my Roku Ultra running Roku OS 13, and the install took about 2 minutes.
- From the Roku home screen, go to Streaming Channels
- Search for MotoGP
- Select the channel published by Dorna Sports
- Click Add Channel to install
The MotoGP icon appears on your home screen once the install finishes.
#Activate Your Account
After opening the MotoGP channel for the first time, you’ll see an activation code on screen. Here’s how to link it:
- Write down the activation code displayed on your TV
- On a computer or phone, visit MotoGP.com and log in
- Enter the activation code in the designated field
- Click submit to link your Roku to your MotoGP account
The whole process takes about two minutes. Once linked, your content tier (free or VideoPass) loads automatically.
#How Do You Access Free MotoGP Content?
The Roku Channel partnership includes several acclaimed MotoGP documentaries at no cost. These are worth watching even if you don’t follow racing closely.
Available films:
- Hitting the Apex covers the rivalry between Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, and Simoncelli
- Faster and Fastest document the evolution of modern MotoGP
- Ring of Fire focuses on the dangers riders face
- The Doctor, The Tornado and The Kentucky Kid follows three riders at the 2005 Laguna Seca GP
To find them, open the MotoGP channel and select Included With The Roku Channel. No account creation needed for these films.
More free content gets added over time. I check back every few weeks.
#Subscribing for Full MotoGP Access
Live race coverage requires a VideoPass subscription through MotoGP.com. VideoPass pricing varies by region, so check the subscribe page for current rates in your country.
A VideoPass subscription includes:
- Live streaming of every practice, qualifying, and race session
- On-demand replays (typically available within 12 hours)
- The full race archive back to 1992
- Additional films, rider interviews, and behind-the-scenes content
To subscribe, visit MotoGP.com, choose your plan, and enter the Roku activation code during signup. If you already have a VideoPass account from watching on another device, just enter the activation code to link your existing subscription.
Once subscribed, all classes are covered: MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, and MotoE. I find the archive particularly useful for catching up on older seasons during the off-season.
#Which Roku Devices Support MotoGP?
Any Roku device that accesses the Roku Channel Store can run the MotoGP channel. I’ve tested it on the Roku Ultra and Roku Express without issues.
Supported devices include:
- Roku Express
- Roku Streaming Stick 4K+
- Roku Ultra
- All Roku TV models (TCL, Hisense, ONN)
If you’re using a Roku for other sports content too, check out how to watch ESPN on Roku or watch NFL games on Roku for more options.
#Bottom Line
Getting MotoGP on your Roku takes about 5 minutes of setup. Start by installing the free MotoGP channel from the Roku Channel Store and watching the included documentaries. If you want live races, subscribe to VideoPass through MotoGP.com and link it with your Roku activation code. The archive going back to 1992 alone makes VideoPass worth considering during race season, especially if you miss weekend sessions and need to catch replays.
