Ready, sett, go! Not-so-fondly nicknamed L’enfer du Nord (The Hell of the North), Paris-Roubaix is the cobbliest, most-storied and, in the minds and behinds of many, the most brutal of the Classics. It’s back after a one-year hiatus and we’re here to explain how to get a 2021 Paris-Roubaix live stream today and watch UCI WorldTour cycling online wherever you are.
Paris-Roubaix tends to be a mucky affair at the best of times, but with steady rain expected before and during the event, this one could get seriously messy.
Defending champion Philippe Gilbert is one of five former winners in contention, alongside Peter Sagan, John Degenkolb, Greg Van Avermaet and Niki Terpstra, but the greatest weight of expectation lies on the shoulders of Wout van Aert, who missed out on the rainbow jersey at the Road World Championships.
It’s the toughest one-day race on the calendar and one of the final events of the season, so read on for everything you need to know to watch a Paris-Roubaix live stream from anywhere in the world.
