The 2023 British motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Monster Energy British Grand Prix) was the ninth round of the 2023 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season and the fifth round of the 2023 MotoE World Championship. All races (except for both MotoE races which are scheduled to be held on 5 August) were held at the Silverstone Circuit in Silverstone on 6 August 2023.
For the first time since 2012, the teams used the International Paddock, featuring the garages and finish line located on Sir Lewis Hamilton Straight that follows Club instead of the National Circuit pit straight that follows Woodcote.
Friday's session of the MotoGP class saw little change. Only one 'Practice' session, in the Friday afternoon session, whose time record determines direct entry into Q2 or not. As usual, the top 10 are entitled to go straight into Q2. Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2 time records are not included in the requirements for direct entry into Q2 or not.
Free Practice sessions on Friday and Saturday do not determine riders to qualify for Q2.
