Kazakhstan and India have been added to the calendar for the 2023 MotoGP season, which runs between February and November.

There will be a record 21 races across the campaign, with 10 of those taking place outside of Europe and Aragon removed to leave three events in Spain.

The new inclusion of a sprint race means each weekend will feature two races for the first time, and the mid-season break will be held between Kazakhstan on July 9 and Silverstone at the start of August.

Here's what to expect from the 2023 MotoGP schedule, where and when the races are taking place and how to follow the action.
