Big things were expected of Maverick Viñales ahead of the season – and boy, did he deliver last weekend, recovering magnificently from a bad opening lap to ride to victory from 8th. We're back at Qatar's Losail International Circuit for the second race of the season, and reigning world champion Joan Mir will be itching to get out on track after losing what looked like a guaranteed podium finish by running wide on the very last corner. Read on for full details on how to watch all the MotoGP Doha action online, no matter where you are in the world right now.

Mir's late mistake sent him from second down to fourth, demonstrating just how fine the margins are.
It was a pair of Ducatis that pipped him to the post, with Johann Zarco finishing behind Viñales and Francesco Bagnaia finishing third, which he'll perhaps be a little disappointed about, having started in pole position.
Meanwhile, it was an infuriating start for Franco Morbidelli, who finished 18th, with a mechanical problem ruining his race.
That leaves Team Suzuki Ecstar and Ducati Lenovo Team tied on 23 points in the teams' standing, trailing 13 points behind early leader Monster Energy Yamaha – but there's a long old way to go.
Follow our guide below as we explain how to watch the Doha Grand Prix and get a MotoGP live stream from anywhere in the world this week.

How to watch MotoGP from outside your country
If you find yourself abroad at all during the 2021 MotoGP season, you'll likely find you're unable to access your usual MotoGP coverage like you would at home. This isn't necessarily cause for alarm, but rather the result of geo-blocking – best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world.
Fortunately, there's a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you whizz around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe-trot and still access your preferred MotoGP live stream. It's a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use – allow us to explain more.

How to watch MotoGP Doha in the US for the Doha Grand Prix
For MotoGP fans based in the US, it's NBC and NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) that are showing races this season, though only five GPs are being shown live, with the rest on a delayed broadcast.

If you have cable, that means you're all set and will also be able to watch MotoGP online via the NBC Sports website - you'll just need to log-in with details of your TV provider.
If you don't have cable, you'll want an over-the-top streaming service - try a FREE FuboTV trial today as it includes the channel and can be cancelled no questions asked if it's not right for you.
Out of the US and want to watch your home coverage? No worries - just use a VPN as described above.
