Watch Paris-Nice from March 8-15 to see the men’s WorldTour peloton in action as the challenging eight-day stage race heads from Parisian suburbs to the Mediterranean Sea. Here are all the details you need to follow the race on live streams and TV channels in the US, UK, Canada, and the rest of the world.
The race began in the town of Achères on the river Seine, then wends its way south and east to its Mediterranean finish on March 15. As usual, there is a varied mix of stage types with flat, mountain/hilly, mixed, and a 23.5km team time trial on stage three. As always, crosswinds are a threat in the early stages and snow can affect the mountain finishes later on.
Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike), the two-time Tour de France champion, is among the pre-race favourites, along with the likes of Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek), and Oscar Onley (Ineos Grenadiers).
There are broadcast options in the UK, USA and Canada, as well as free live streaming options for Paris-Nice.
Today at Paris-Nice
Today, Wednesday March 11, is stage 4 of Paris-Nice, a 195km journey from Bourges to Uchon. Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek) wears the yellow leader's jersey, although it was Ineos Grenadiers who triumphed in the stage 3 team time trial.
Stage 2 features a category-2 climb to the finish, so it should be another hit-out for the puncheurs and GC contenders and, with the wind blowing early, not one to be missed.
You can watch the stage all over the world – read on for all the details in your area.

How to watch Paris-Nice from anywhere
If you're outside your usual country while Paris-Nice is on, you may think you'd struggle to watch the race due to geo-restrictions in place for different viewing regions. But a VPN is a simple and safe way around this.
A Virtual Private Network is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to access your usual streaming services when you're far from home. What's more, it helps with playback speeds and is a huge boost for your general internet security.
There are loads of great VPN options out there, but our colleagues at TechRadar rate NordVPN as the best overall for its streaming capabilities, security features, and price.
