How to watch cycling live streams with a VPN

Watch cycling live streams in 2020 with a cycling VPN

If you’re a fan of the Giro D’Italia, online streams may be the only way to tune in — especially if you live in a country where cycling isn’t popular. While the spring classics — like Paris Roubaix, Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold, and more are on the horizon — the first grand tour of 2020 is also not that far away. The Giro D’Italia will begin in Budapest, marking it the first time that Hungary has been a part of the event. Previous cities to host the start of the race in recent years include Jerusalem, Amsterdam, and Belfast.

As a cycling fan, you’ve probably spent many a weekend trying to find the right cycling live stream to watch all your favourite races. After all, with young hotshots like Remco Evenepoel, Wout Van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar, and last year’s Tour de France winner Egan Bernal tearing up the fields — along with experienced hands like Geraint Thomas, Julian Alaphilippe, Peter Sagan, and the returning Chris Froome — it’s hard not to be excited about the 2020 season.

But what do you do when you try to access a cycling live stream and find that it isn’t available in your area? You need a Tour de France VPN to let you bypass restrictions so you can watch any live cycling stream you want, regardless of where in the world you are.

With Hotspot Shield VPN, you can tunnel under almost any virtual barrier and access cycling apps from around the world. But cycling streams are just the tip of the iceberg. You can watch all kinds of other sports streams, too. Nearly any TV app that is only available in a certain location becomes accessible with our software. 

Hotspot Shield VPN connects you to our many international VPN servers. Once you’re logged in, other computers on the internet will assume that you’re located somewhere else — like in Canada, or the United States, the UK, or even China. 

Say, for instance, you want to watch a free cycling live stream in France: By using a Tour de France VPN, you can connect to the VPN server in France and you will be assigned with a French IP address. Now, when you visit the French live stream, you’ll find that any blocks have been bypassed and you can access the stream as if you were sat in a bakery in Paris.

How to find a 2020 cycling live stream

You can access all kinds of streaming services from other countries that you can’t access without a Tour de France VPN. 

In the United States and Canada, cycling fans can use FlowBikes to watch live cycling streams. FlowBikes broadcasts a huge number of cycling races, both big and small. Want to watch Mathieu van der Poel tear up the field in CX races during his offseason, or looking to see if Sagan can win Paris-Roubaix, FlowBikes has it all — Amstel Gold, Flanders, Gent Wevelgem, Il Lombardia, the Vuelta and Giro, etc. For US fans, you won’t get Tour de France (NBC Sports has the rights to it), but if you connect via Hotspot Shield’s Canada VPN server, you’ll be able to watch the Tour too.

If you don’t live in the US or Canada, all you have to do use your Tour de France VPN and connect to a server in either Canada or the US and sign up. You can also sign up for fuboTV and watch races via the fubo Cycling channel. 

British broadcast network ITV4 has a free streaming service and it broadcasts the Tour of Britain and several other cycling events throughout the year. To access it outside of the UK, all you have to do is log into Hotspot Shield’s UK VPN server location. Once you’re in, you can catch cycling live streams on on ITV or one of Britain’s many other paid streaming services, like Sky’s Now TV, or Eurosport. Eurosport, in particular, has fantastic cycling coverage, with analysts like Bradley Wiggins giving his take on the action in many of the world’s top races.
