While I think many of us believe that Flobikes owns US coverage of World Cups for one more year, there are no world cups on their schedule (for US or Canada - which seems strange since I’d expect them to at least cover Canada). I’m also not seeing World Cups on the Max schedule yet - and I think the first WC is only a couple of weeks away. Anyone here have insight to where we can watch WCs in the US (aside from Tiz of course 
).
If you are in New Zealand, or your computer thinks it is, you can watch the UCI channel live stream on YouTube.
cyclocross24.com shows it as being on Max
My understanding is that the US has no provider so we will be able to watch it without a VPN on the UCI YouTube.
Ugh I’m really hoping it gets added to Canada otherwise would have cancelled Flobikes
Put in a support ticket with Flobikes and they confirmed they wont stream the 2024-25 UCU cyclocross season
I thought worldcups were on nbcsports?
If NBC sports has it, I would try Peacock. I didn’t see anything, but I didn’t look out that far.
It doesn’t say which countries though. Might just be Europe where it’s on D+/Max/Eurosport.
Edit: it is listed for 24 Nov on UK Discovery+, but as the Waterloo World Cup. So if it’s not listed on Max yet it might be 'cause they’re still figuring shit out (everything also suddenly turns to Danish) rather than them not having US broadcast rights.
I expected it would likely be on Max as well but when I look at upcoming, the only thing are the other cross series and track champions league - guess we’ll need to stay tuned
LOL sorry - actually, similar, the ONLY reason I let Flobikes renew was WC Cross since that is really all they offer to US subscribers but… at least u can still get alot of classics, etc from your Flobikes sub. If you’re a US subscriber, you’re scratching your head on this one. All of it seems a shame to me. We had a solid subscription-based service in GCN+ that covered classics, cross (though maybe not grand tours yet) but we’re back to the need to pirate or use whatever we can find on the internet… to me personally, it’s just an indication that the UCI could care less about the US and maybe North America. Seems like we’re in this place where they don’t seem to care if we have money to spend for a legit, solid service (like GCN+) and leave us to scrounge whatever we can to view the races we love :-).
Thanks for sharing - sign - why oh why did I subscribe for another year as a US subscriber… gotta learn
I just checked through the app and I didn’t see any thing about cyclocross
I was originally led to believe only the UK or Europe (can’t remember) got the Eurosport feeds on Max but lo and behold there they were. I’m hopeful.
I don’t think the UCI had much of a hand in the demise of gcn+. That was warner brothers (I think that’s who ultimately owned it) realizing they had too many individual streaming services and trying to consolidate them. A decision that sucks for cycling fans, but comes from outside the sport. I think the UCI is happy to sell the TV rights for WC CX to whoever wants them. Unfortunately in the US right now we don’t have a lot of takers.
Flobikes for Canada is expensive, but the depth and breadth of racing content was just as good as GCN+. I don’t really understand the business model unless the rights for Canada are just ridiculously cheap, as there can’t be more than a few thousand subscribers.
I’m in Canada fyi so perhaps it’s different (but doubt it).
Yes, when I look at the schedule you can see most of the non-WC races but all are Canada Only so at least it is where you can watch the non-WC series if you’re in Canada. They are all restricted to just Canada though, no US.
