That said, I am human, and I do have Google Analytics, and I am not immune to the single most-searched-for query that brought readers to my site last year. And so it is with a heavy heart that I report: I am unaware of any free online streaming for cross-country ski races in the U.S.
But you might be able to find something that approximates this? And the two races in Minneapolis in February really will be free for American viewers to watch online, at least live. Read on for more about how to view cross-country ski races from the U.S. this season, both the official answer and also my attempt at some workarounds.
You can use discount code EARLYBIRD2023 to save 15 percent on either the monthly or season-long all-access pass, the site currently advises. I used discount code KERN2024 to knock 10 percent off the price of the nordic pass (disclosure, such as it is: I just paid cash out of pocket to access the site for the season). I have no idea if my entering this code gives Julia Kern some small form of kickback from the site. I hope it does; cash rules everything around me, and cross-country skiers tend not to get enough of it.
If you are trying to plan your winter viewing schedule, you may also find your way to the FIS calendar page, which looks like this. Start times on the FIS website are set forth in Central European Time (CET), as well as local time at the actual race venue (LOC).
I express no opinion as to the legality of these sites. I am not currently an active member of the Alaska Bar Association and so I am not allowed to give legal advice any more, but I would strongly urge you to consult with a lawyer before, say, uploading copyrighted material on your own, or certainly before charging someone else to view copyrighted material that you have uploaded. She will probably tell you that that is a bad idea and that you should not do it.
Speaking of illegal, there are a number of live streaming sites out there for all manner of sports. A representative sample are compiled here. I would be surprised if any of them deigns to stream nordic skiing, but your mileage may vary.
Virtual private networks, or VPNs, are used for a variety of purposes on the internet, both savory and unsavory. Among their uses are to change the apparent IP address of your computer, so that it appears to the host computer that you are based somewhere other than your actual physical location.
There are a number of VPN providers out there. Windscribe is one such option; there are many, many others. If you download a VPN or VPN extension that has servers in, say, Norway, this will enable you to view ski races held in Norway that are broadcast on Norwegian television and hosted on Norwegian media sites.
You can officially subscribe to Viaplay from within the U.S., but this subscription package does not include sports. The cheapest package from Norwegian Viaplay that contains sports, along with a great deal of other programming, is 399 kroner per month, or roughly $36. You would presumably need a way to pay with a Norwegian-based credit card, which sounds hard.
You might have better luck with a VPN that places you in somewhere like the United Kingdom, where you can attempt to view, and/or subscribe to, Eurosport for their coverage. Or try Finland (broadcaster: YLE), Sweden (SVT), Germany (ARD/ZDF), Italy (RAI), or so on. There is a non-zero chance that Viaplay now controls all rights throughout the entire Schengen Area, which would be frustrating to me, but is also well above my pay grade.
The only thing I would add to that for 2023/2024 is that U.S. Biathlon has written and made available this superb roundup of spectator resources. Would you like a primer on the multiple different race disciplines within the sport of biathlon? Detailed information on the development pipeline? Information on how to qualify? You will find all these things in one place. As a professional sports explainer, may I say here, great job, U.S. Biathlon.

So I'm really close to getting the Platinum. I've put probably just under 40 hours into this game so far. For a while now, though, I've been trying to get into online races so that I can get the Superhighway Trophy. I queue myself up between each mission (and between activities like ctOS Breaches, Hotspots, etc.) and I've only ever gotten into two sessions. The first one I raced, but I didn't finish because the guy won so far ahead of me - then he promptly quit. The second one the guy jumped out before the first race ever even started.
Every time I queue up (which I've done multiple days, including the weekend, and different times of day including noon, 5pm and later) it just says "No race found." after searching for a few minutes and kicks me out. I did the Hacking/Tailing perfectly fine (2 - 4 minute wait times), but this is just getting silly. What can I do?
We've had a thorough look around to bring you some of the best options for where to watch a Le Mans live stream for the 2024 event today. You'll find that options have changed quite a lot since last year, but there are some free options out there despite many countries now pushing the world-famous endurance race behind a paywall.
There are hours and hours of coverage to be found for free in France, and we have the links to show you where. If you're not in the race's home nation, though, geo-restrictions will block you from the free Le Mans live stream. Unless you have a VPN, that is.
Don't have one yet? Not a problem. Setting up a VPN (virtual private network) is super simple, and it unlocks global streaming options by simulating your device's location to be wherever you want in the world. It also greatly improves your privacy and online security. There's even a special offer to save a whopping 49% on one. Look below for all the links you need today to watch the Le Mans live stream from anywhere.
If you're in the US, you can enjoy the race for free thanks to the return of the free trial over at Max. UK racing fans don't have a local free option, but a one-month Eurosport subscription is very affordable and a great pick if you don't fancy the VPN route.
You can see the full Le Mans 24 race on Max this year, and given the service has just resurrected its free trial, you can sign up for free and enjoy the entire race without paying a thing. It's showing on Max via the B/R sports add-on, which is currently free.
If you decide to keep Max after the 7-day free trial, you'll get to keep using the free sports add-on. But just be aware there are plans to eventually start charging $9.99 per month on top of your Max subscription. But this will be an opt-in experience, and they've had it available at no extra charge for months now.
French TV channel L'Equipe has extensive Le Mans coverage showing online and on free-to-air TV this weekend, although there is a gap overnight. It will be live for the start and plenty of hours afterward, but at 1:30 a.m. (local time), coverage will take a break until 5 a.m. before resuming for the rest of the race.
That's a great window overall (you've got to sleep, too, right?), especially considering it's free. You'll have to pay up to the like of Eurosport or Max if you want the full 24 hours live - Max has a free trial, but it's tough to activate without a US bank card.
A VPN is the best way to get around geo-restrictions and is a viable option to watch Le Mans online. A VPN lets your device appear to be in a different country and offers excellent privacy options at home or on public WiFi for your phone, laptop, streaming devices, and more. To watch Le Mans, simply switch it to France, then tune into the L'Equipe live stream and enjoy all the racing action.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
The 2024 Daytona 500 schedule got flipped all over the place by weather throughout the end of Speedweek. First the Daytona ARCA 200 got moved up from Saturday afternoon to Friday night. Then the better part of Saturday's schedule got nixed, including the NASCAR Xfinity Series race, the United Rentals 300.
It came as no surprise that the Daytona 500 got washed out, too. Now the final two races are set to complete a rare doubleheader. The Daytona Xfinity race was scheduled to start things off Monday morning, but early showers pushed it to the nightcap following the Great American Race.
Fans who grew up in the 2000s will be watching how Frankie Muniz will fare in his Xfinity Series debut. The star of "Malcolm and the Middle" and "Agent Cody Banks" finished 11th in the 2023 ARCA race at Daytona and qualified for this year's Xfinity race. Last year's event was won by Austin Hill and went by the totally normal "Beef. It's What's For Dinner. 300."
