UCI Gravel World Championships 2026 free stream: watch on SBS On Demand

The UCI Gravel World Championships are on this weekend, and cycling fans can stream both races for free. Tom's Guide says the coverage is available in Australia through SBS On Demand, and a VPN can extend access to viewers in the U.S., U.K. and Canada.

What to know about the races

The women's race takes place Saturday at 10:10 a.m. AWST. The men's race follows Sunday at the same time. Defending champion Florian Vermeersch will race to keep his title, while Marianne Vos aims to reclaim the crown she won in 2024.

How to watch for free

SBS On Demand is the free streaming home for the gravel worlds. An account with a valid Australian postcode is required, according to Tom's Guide. The service is geo-restricted to Australia, so viewers outside the country need a VPN.

Using a VPN to stream from abroad

Tom's Guide tested Proton VPN and says it unblocks the stream cleanly. The VPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 70% discount on its usual price. Other VPNs also work, but Proton VPN is cited as a tested option.

SBS On Demand runs on a wide range of devices: Amazon Fire TV, Android phones and tablets, Apple TV, Chromecast, gaming consoles (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S), LG and Samsung Smart TVs, iOS and Android mobile apps, Roku, and web browsers.

Bottom line

The UCI Gravel World Championships are free to watch on SBS On Demand. If you're outside Australia, a VPN like Proton VPN can get you access.
