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.

Where to watch Le Mans live stream in the US

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.

How to watch Le Mans live stream for free from anywhere

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.

If you're not in France, you'll be unable to play this free Le Mans live stream without the aid of a VPN, as you'll encounter a geo-block. A VPN will fix that for you.

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.

Our preferred option of all the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN, which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied. Check out the latest deal details below.
