Thailand Gears Up for 2025 MotoGP Season Opener in Buriram
The 2025 MotoGP season is set to commence with the Grand Prix of Thailand at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram from February 28 to March 2. This marks a significant shift from the traditional season opener in Losail, Qatar, which has been rescheduled to the fourth round in April.
Anticipation is high as the season approaches, particularly with the spotlight on eight-time world champion Marc Márquez. After departing from Honda and achieving a resurgence with a private team, Márquez has now secured a position with the official Ducati team alongside reigning champion Pecco Bagnaia. His impressive performance during the winter tests has positioned him as a strong contender for the upcoming race.
The weekend schedule is packed with activities, beginning on Friday, February 28, with free practice sessions across all categories. Saturday will feature additional practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and the inaugural sprint race for the MotoGP class. The main events are slated for Sunday, March 2, with race times set for Moto3 at 6:00 AM, Moto2 at 7:15 AM, and the premier MotoGP race at 9:00 AM, all in local time.
Fans worldwide can tune in to watch the races live. In Spain, broadcasts will be available on DAZN and Movistar+, while audiences in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru can view the events on ESPN. In the United States, coverage will be provided by NBC Sports and CNBC.
The 2025 season is notable not only for its commencement in Thailand but also for featuring a record-breaking 22 Grands Prix across 18 countries. This expansion includes the return of the Czech Grand Prix and the introduction of a new race in Hungary, underscoring the sport's growing global appeal.
As Thailand prepares to host the season opener, the event is expected to draw significant international attention, bolstering the country's reputation as a premier destination for world-class sporting events. The Chang International Circuit, known for its challenging layout and enthusiastic crowds, promises an exhilarating start to the MotoGP season.
