I can’t watch the live stream due to geo-blocking. Why is this?
This is because the UCI has a broadcast partnership with a TV channel or Streaming / OTT service website from your country. In Sports media, it is common practice that such broadcasters are exclusive partners meaning that they hold the transmission rights to the live stream.
Can I still watch the live stream somewhere else?
Yes – the UCI will only geo-block the event in your country if there is a broadcaster showing the event live or shortly after the event happens, e.g. showing an afternoon event later in the evening. So if you find the UCI event geo-blocked, please check the list of TV Broadcasters for the event, which will be published prior to the event.
