Section 6: Scoring
Championship points are awarded to both riders and constructors following each race. The points system is defined in Article 99 of the FIM MWGP Sporting Regulations.
6.1 Main Race Points — MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3
Points are awarded to the top 15 classified finishers:
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 25 |
| 2nd | 20 |
| 3rd | 16 |
| 4th | 13 |
| 5th | 11 |
| 6th | 10 |
| 7th | 9 |
| 8th | 8 |
| 9th | 7 |
| 10th | 6 |

6.2 Sprint Race Points — MotoGP Class Only
Sprint Race championship points (introduced for the 2023 season) are awarded to the top 9 classified Sprint finishers:
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 12 |
| 2nd | 9 |
| 3rd | 7 |
| 4th | 6 |
| 5th | 5 |
| 6th | 4 |
| 7th | 3 |
| 8th | 2 |
| 9th | 1 |
| 10th and beyond | 0 |
Sprint Race points count toward the Riders' Championship and Constructors' Championship but not toward the Teams' Championship (Article 99.4).
6.3 Constructors' Championship
Constructors' Championship points are awarded based on the best-placed finishing motorcycle of each constructor in each race. Only the highest-scoring rider from each constructor counts toward the Constructors' Championship per event. The same points scale as the Riders' Championship is used (Article 99.2).
6.4 Teams' Championship
Teams' Championship points are the sum of points scored by both riders of each team in Sunday's main race only (Sprint Race points are excluded). The same 15-position points scale applies, and both riders' points are added together for each team per round (Article 99.3).
6.5 Reduced Points for Shortened Races
If a race is stopped by red flag and is not restarted (Article 22.3):
- If fewer than 5 laps are completed: no championship points are awarded.
- If 5 or more laps but less than 50% of the scheduled race distance is completed: 50% of standard points are awarded (rounded to the nearest whole number).
- If 50% or more of the scheduled race distance is completed: full championship points are awarded based on the classification at the last completed lap before the red flag.
6.6 Tie-Breaking
In the event of a tie in championship points at the end of the season, the tie is broken by counting the greater number of victories. If still tied, by the greater number of second places, and so on through each finishing position (Article 99.5).
