How to Watch in the US
FOX has MotoGP's US rights, and the Catalonia Grand Prix sits on FS1 / FS2. That means you need a service carrying the Fox Sports cable channels; MotoGP's own VideoPass isn't sold in the US. The live TV services below all carry FS1, and most start with a free trial long enough to cover the whole weekend. Check FS2 before you sign up, since not every service carries it.
