With the cyclocross World Championship in the rearview mirror, our thoughts turn toward watching Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, Tom Pidock, and other stars on the cobbled roads instead. Here is the 2024 Spring Classics schedule, and the streaming services you'll need to watch these races, including Peacock, FloBikes, and MAX with Bleacher Report.
This information is for customers in the USA. Outside the USA, YMMV. In addition to the "true classics", I've also included some "classics adjacent" races so you can see what you get with a subscription to one or more of these services.
Milan-San Remo, E3 Classic, and Strade Bianche are on MAX with Bleacher Report
The new Bleacher Report sports add-on is a subscription package that runs on top of the MAX subscription service (you need both) with cycling coverage in 2024.
- Milan-San Remo
- E3 Classic
- the "gravel classic", Strade Bianche
- Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne
For cyclocross fans, note that in addition to road racing, MAX / Bleacher Report also has much of the 'cross content previously found on GCN+, including Superprestige, X2O Trofee, and Exact Cross events. Those won't pick up again until next Fall, of course.
Flanders, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Gent-Wevelgem are on FloBikes
Tune in to FloBikes for the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Gent-Wevelgem, and Tour of Flanders. That's most - although not all - of the so-called "Vlaamse Wielerweek" which crams 5 important races into a 2 week period.
- Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
- Gent-Wevelgem
- Tour of Flanders, "De Ronde van Vlaanderen"
Cyclocross fans should note that FloBikes is also the streaming provider for the USA for the cyclocross World Cup and World Championships for the USA.
Paris-Roubaix, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, La Flèche Wallonne are on Peacock
Generally, the events owned by ASO (Paris-Roubaix, Amstel Gold, Paris-Nice etc.) can be found on Peacock. Notably, although not a Spring Classic, Peacock also has the USA streaming rights for the Tour de France this Summer.
- Paris-Roubaix
- Amstel Gold
- La Flèche Wallonne
- Liège–Bastogne–Liège
Unlike FloBikes, Peacock allows subscribers to turn their subscription on and off, so you can subscribe to this service March-July when the racing calendar is full, and then cancel it again until next Spring.
Cycling fans need 3 subscription services to see it all
Unfortunately, if you want to watch road, cyclocross, MTB, BMX year round, you'll need a subscription to 3 different streaming services in 2024 to see it all.
