At the front, 18 hypercars from eight brands will be battling it out for overall victory. Of course, you can also follow the action from home. Here are the options for watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the Internet and on television. (all without guarantee, of course)

The 24 Hours of Le Mans on television

In terms of classic television coverage, there is once again a choice this year: Because, as has been the case since 2021, broadcaster NITRO will once again be broadcasting the action on free-to-air TV. It starts there on Saturday (13 June 2026) at 14:45 (race start is 16:00). NITRO will then remain on air until Sunday (14 June 2026) at 16:45. Of course, the specialists from Eurosport will also be bringing the 24 Hours of Le Mans back to the home screen. The sports channel will even start today (Wednesday, 10 June 2026) with moving images from the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It starts from 13:45 to 17:10 with the broadcast of the first free practice session. (But beware, the broadcast will be on Eurosport 2 pay TV). Qualifying will then be shown on Eurosport 1 between 18:30 and 20:15. The second free practice session will also be shown there from 21:41 to 0:07.

On Thursday (11 June 2026), Eurosport 2 (pay TV as mentioned) will then show the third free practice session from 14:30 to 18:00. Pole position at Le Mans will be determined in the so-called hyperpole - and Eurosport 1 will show this from 19:45 to 22:30. The fourth free practice session will then be shown on Eurosport 1 from 22:45 to 0:15.

The 24-hour race will then take place on Saturday (13 June 2026). The warm-up will be broadcast on Eurosport 1 from 11.45am to 12.30pm. There will be live pre-race coverage on Eurosport 1 from 15:00 to 15:45. The race will be broadcast on Eurosport 1 from 15:45 (the start is at 16:00, as already mentioned). Eurosport 1 will then remain on air until 17:00 on Sunday (14 June 2026).

The 24 Hours of Le Mans live stream (internet)

The action from Le Mans can also be seen in the live stream. There are two options for this, but they are subject to a fee. HBO Max will stream the Eurosport broadcast. In addition, the FIA WEC, which has included the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2012, has its own official paid platform (for desktop and as an app) on which the action is shown. This has been completely redesigned for 2026 and is now called FIAWEC+. Various packages can be booked there. The commentary is available in English or French. You can also watch the action without commentary. There is also a time monitor called "Live Timing Pro", where you can follow the current situation on the track. The free practice sessions, qualifying, the hyperpole, the warm-up and the race can all be followed in the app. This means that nothing stands in the way of a motorsport week.
