Le Mans 24 Hours 2018 live stream: How to watch the race online and on TV
LE MANS 24 HOURS is one of the most famous races in the world and gets underway this afternoon - when millions will be tuning in from all over the world.
The race boasts a star-studded line-up this year with Fernando Alonso and team-mates Kazuki Nakajima and Sebastian Buemi sitting on pole.
The LMP1 class also features the likes of Jenson Button, Vitaly Petrov and Mike Conway as Alonso chases the second leg of motor sport’s “Triple Crown”: the Monaco Grand Prix, which he has already won, and the Indy 500 are the other two.
The Spaniard is in fact driving a full season in WEC for Toyota Gazoo Racing this year alongside his F1 commitments - and is desperate to make it count at Le Mans today.
So here’s how you can watch all the action from northern France.
Le Mans 24 Hours UK TV channel
Eurosport have obtained the UK rights to show the race, having first secured a mute-year deal back in 2008, when they broadcast every hour of the race.
Previous years have seen some sections of the race skipped on Eurosport’s coverage due to clashes with other sporting events but 2018 will see Eurosport 1 (Sky channel 410) show every single second of the race, coverage running from midday on Saturday June 16 until 2.35pm on Sunday June 17.
Le Mans 24 Hours live stream
Sky Sports subscribers with Eurosport access on their TV used to be able to access the Discovery-owned channels via Sky Go.
However, that deal has expired and now viewers who want to watch Le Mans 24 Hours online will have to buy a Eurosport Player pass.
Day passes cost £4.99 while an annual pass costs £29.99 and gives you access to both channels on a range of devices all year round.
