The biggest two weeks of the motorcycling calendar is here, the event every motorcyclist looks forward to each and every year… the Isle of Man TT is back. But, if you can’t travel to the Mountain Course for the event, then BikeSocial have you covered with all the TV times, radio times and rider diaries across the two weeks.
2023 Isle of Man TT PREVIEW with Peter Hickman
The 2023 Isle of Man TT is upon us so BikeSocial thought there would be no better way to preview the event than to sit down with the man of the moment around the 37.73-mile course, Peter Hickman. In this preview the two Michaels, and Hicky, discuss everything from what riders do to prepare for the event, the new, packed, racing schedule, who Pete thinks will be his closest challenger and if he thinks winning eight TTs is possible.
How to watch LIVE TT coverage
Fans of the TT will no doubt already know about TT+ but for those who don’t, it is the TT’s dedicated streaming service where you can watch all the live action from each practice session and race. The cost of this? Just £19.99, yes you read that right, under £20 for more than 40 hours of TT racing.
But when will the coverage start? And where can catch all the action we hear you ask. Well, simply head to the 2023 TT+ Live Pass and sign up, which initially is free and you can indulge in a host of video features that are currently available.
To catch all the LIVE action from Monday 29th May '23, simply pay your £19.99 and you’ll be one of the thousands to watch it live. But the beauty of subscribing to TT+ is that if you can’t catch all the live action, whether you are at work or you’ve been told that you’re going shopping, then you can relive all the action as soon as you get home as the full, interrupted coverage will be available to watch on demand.

2023 Isle of Man TT - Practice & Qualifying Schedule*
Isle of Man TT Mad Sundaes with Josh Brookes! | Exclusive Interview
2023 will see two-time Bennetts BSB Champion Josh Brookes return to the Isle of Man TT onboard his FHO Racing BMW, but why did he decide to return to the 37.7 mile course? BikeSocial's Michael Burton travelled to media launch back in April to find out.
Who will host TT coverage?
Over the previous few years, we’ve all been used to seeing Matt Roberts host the coverage, with insights from TT race winners such as Steve Plater and Cameron Donald, and whilst those three remain involved for 2023, a host of new faces joins the team.
Grace Webb, a Bennetts customer and BikeSocial member herself, makes her debut at the Isle of Man TT in 2022 as she will host the full live coverage via TT+, after successfully presenting the Manx GP TV coverage back in 2022. 16-time TT winner Ian Hutchinson will also join the team, after being told he couldn’t race this year due to having a stroke in Spain during the winter.
Your commentating team will be made up of Dave Moore, Andrew Coley, Steve Plater and Cameron Donald.
Where can I see free-to-air TV Highlights?
If you’re not interested in watching the 2023 Isle of Man TT races live, and just want to catch up on all the best bits with highlights then ITV 4 is still the place to go to.

Where to watch the Isle of Man TT from!
With the 2023 Isle of Man TT just around the corner we wanted to find out where the best places are to watch all the action from, so who better to ask than the Honda Racing pairing of John McGuinness and Nathan Harrison.
Are you a nostalgic person and love to listen to all the action on the wireless courtesy of Manx Radio? Well in 2023 you can still do that, but this year it will be slightly different.
You can still expect to hear the voices of Chris Kinelly, Chris Boyd and others, but this year the team will be joined by former TT racer Mike Booth, affectionally known as ‘Boothy’, who will be providing his expert knowledge of what the riders will be doing and feeling over the two weeks.
