Until last year, you could watch various cycling competitions live, including Paris-Roubaix on the EUROSPORTS channel and Milan-Sanremo in March, but EUROSPORTS has withdrawn from broadcasting, such as the Strade Bianche broadcast and Milan-Sanremo.
According to rumors,EUROSPORTS' parent company Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is changing its sports broadcasting strategy from focusing on traditional TV channels to streaming services 'Max' and 'Discovery+' starting this year.
Anyway, since I can't watch EUROSPORTS comfortably at home anymore, I looked for ways to watch live broadcasts. This Sunday, except for Paris-Roubaix, you can watch most UCI cycling races live, so please refer to it.
If you want to watch the Paris-Roubaix live this weekend (April 12th) in Korea, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to access overseas broadcasting platformsis the only and most realistic way.
I will explain in detail the best way to watch right now.
1. 강력 추천: 호주 공영방송 'SBS On Demand' (무료 / 영어 해설)
Without overseas payment barriers Free high-quality English interpretation relay is available, making it the most popular method for domestic cycling enthusiasts.
- 준비물: VPN 프로그램 (ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark 등), 웹 브라우저
* The usage fee for the VPN program can be checked by visiting each site.
- How to use:
1) Run the VPN and set the connection country to Australia.
2) Australia's public broadcasting streaming site SBS On Demand(https://www.google.com/search?q=sbs.com.au/ondemand).
3) Proceed with free membership registration. (You will need your name, email address, and Australian postal code - Postcode. Search for 'Sydney Postcode' on Google, etc., and enter a number like 2000.)
4) Go to the Sports category and watch 'Paris-Roubaix 2026 - Men's Race'.

2. 유료 VPN 가입비용
The price of the most representative paid VPN is as follows.
※ After joining both services, you can get a refund within 30 days. You can also get a refund during this period. Now, in Korea, you can't watch important games through EUROSPORTS, so if you are a true fan, watching live broadcasts with clean image quality for less than 5,000 won per month is a very good choice.
1) NordVPN

2) ExpressVPN

※ Note that I have been using KT at home for a monthly fee of 4,000 won (excluding VAT) to change the "TV Essence" product to watch 266 channels in the living room and drawing room. However, since EUROSPORTS has been reducing live broadcasts of important games this year, I decided to cancel KT's "TV Essence" option and purchase the ExpressVPN Basic 2-year + 4-month discount package. I will now watch major games live through Australia SBS ON DEMAND. The cost of the VPN package is about the same as the 4,400 won I paid for EUROSPORTS from KT... ^^
