MotoGP 2025 team launches: All the dates and details

MotoGP's 'launch season' for 2025 will start earlier than its Formula 1 counterpart, with the first dates pencilled in for January.

But some teams are leaving it as late as the start - or even the middle - of pre-season testing to finalise their look for the upcoming campaign.

Here is the full set of confirmed dates to mark in the calendar if you want to be the first to see what the 2025 grid will look like.

Trackhouse Aprilia

January 14

The American team, coming into its second season in MotoGP, currently has the earliest launch on the schedule.

Moto2 champion Ai Ogura will undoubtedly be a major focal point of the presentation, though did already run in Trackhouse colours during testing.

Aprilia

January 16

The factory that has signed MotoGP's newest champion Jorge Martin is expected to kick off manufacturer launch season with its mid-January date.

It will present Martin and new team-mate Marco Bezzecchi in their new colours - and will also presumably unveil Martin's number choice for the season, with the Spaniard expected to trade his #89 for #1.

Gresini Ducati

January 18

For Gresini's first post-Marc Marquez season, the team has opted for an unveiling event at Italian track Imola - which had hosted motorcycle grand prix racing intermittently between 1969 and the end of the century, but hasn't been back on the calendar since a four-year run for the Città di Imola Grand Prix concluded in 1999.

It will naturally mark rookie Fermin Aldeguer's first MotoGP launch - although he, like Ogura, was already decked out in full team gear during the post-season test in Barcelona.

Ducati

January 20

Ducati will unveil its 2025 colours as part of a traditional multi-day event at the Madonna di Campiglio, a ski resort in Italian province Trentino.

Marc Marquez will make his first appearance in full Ducati gear as part of the launch.

VR46 Ducati

January 25

VR46 will complete the set of Ducati launches, presenting its 2025 campaign - with new signing Franco Morbidelli and the now Ducati-contracted Fabio Di Giannantonio - in Jakarta, Indonesia, the home of title sponsor Pertamina.

KTM and Tech3 KTM

January 30

Despite KTM's well-documented financial strife and ongoing self-administration, it is pushing on with its plans for the 2025 season with both its works team and partner team Tech3.

Both will have their '25 colours unveiled on January 30. Expect a largely unchanged livery for the factory team, but Tech3 - having represented KTM's sister brand Gas Gas last year but not this year - will end up with an all-new paint job.

Yamaha and Pramac Yamaha

January 31

Japanese manufacturer Yamaha will hold a joint launch with its new satellite team Pramac in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.

Honda

February 1

The first non-Repsol iteration of Honda's factory MotoGP team in three decades will debut its colours at the start of February.

Honda's 2024 livery - with diminished Repsol presence - may have already hinted at what this brave new world will look like, but the compete absence of the Spanish energy giant's branding is still sure to come as a visual shock.

LCR Honda

February 8

There are no official details yet on LCR's 2025 launch, but expect a lot of attention on its Thai rookie Somkiat Chantra.

MotoGP

February 9

The series will host a season launch event of its own on the second Sunday of February in Bangkok, which will feature show runs with all the 2025 riders - and a presentation of the full array of 2025 machinery.
