How to watch Paris-Roubaix 2024

Riders tackling the famous Arenberg cobbles during the 2022 Paris-Roubaix.

Cobbled Classics season is drawing to a close but the most brutal race of them all is on the way as the men's and women's pelotons take on Paris-Roubaix (April 7) and Paris-Roubaix Femmes (April 6)

The cobbled races in the north of France are among the most eagerly anticipated of the season and boast start lists full of stars as well as kilometre after kilometre of some of the toughest roads of the calendar.

Last April we saw Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Alison Jackson (EF Education-Cannondale) storm to victory over the brutal cobbles. The pair will be back this time around, along with a host of other big-names, to do battle on famous cobbled sectors such as the Arenberg and Carrefour de l'Arbre.

But if you're away from home on holiday during the racing then it's possible to keep up with the racing without resorting to shelling out for a local streaming subscription.

A VPN could solve your problem, and we have all the information on how to watch the action using a VPN below.

In Australia, the 2024 Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Roubaix Femmes will be broadcast live and in full by the free-to-air channel SBS. The race is also set to be available on SBS on Demand – both live and in catch-up mode – if the middle of the night viewing in Australia doesn't work for you.

Watch live cycling on any streams

If you are outside of your home region and need to access your live streaming services to watch the action, you may find your access to be geo-restricted.

In this case, a VPN service will come in handy, allowing your computer to pretend it's home and let you log into your streaming accounts to catch all of the racing action.
