[Updated] How to Watch the 2019 Mountain Bike World Champs

Aug 29, 2019

Loic Bruni on pace and into 2nd



Red Bull TV has secured the rights to broadcast the MTB World Championships in Australia, Japan, France and the UK.

While Red Bull TV is the official broadcaster for the Mercedes-Benz UCI MTB World Cup, they aren't the only official global broadcaster for the World Championships. The UCI packages the DH and XC World Championships alongside all of the other cycling disciplines they own and so it's a separate agreement that needs to be made.

The World Championships is one of the most premium products that you can get the rights to broadcast, which makes sense considering it's the most prestigious event that you can win in the sport during a non-Olympic year.

In many instances, the broadcast licensing agreements allow Red Bull to broadcast the World Championship XC and DH races, and in many places, you will be able to watch the World Championships as you would during any World Cup race weekend. Globally, however, it's a bit of patchwork as some countries are not included. As of our publishing date, here’s the full list of countries where the World Championships will be broadcast on Red Bull TV*:

 Sky's web player is so awful too. I usually prefer to watch the rugby on shitty illegal 360p streams than SkyGo because at least they fucking work. Wish they'd hurry up and go broke

 You can buy SKY GO ( f yrself) and stream to any device for $20 for 7 days. Don’t know about replays as womens xc starts at 4;15am and womens dh at 5am NZTime

 @gcrider: I tried last year but the short term package didn’t include the the sky sport channel five (?think it was five?). No one from Sky were helpful when I contacted them. Instead I paid for a VPN for a few days and worked fine. They seemed to have changed their packaged and ways to access this year but not interested

 If you have access, it's on Sky Sport 9 in NZ, live on Sunday and Monday morning (after the Vuelta), then full replays all Monday afternoon

 I use Private Internet Access, its great for this. Used it a few weekends ago, to watch BMX worlds, which was blocked in USA.
  • 3 1
 VPN brand PrivateInternetAccess has been great for quite a few yrs. Not free, but cheap enough. Biggest problem with "free" is bandwidth...you'll be buffering all the time if streaming. Speaking of speed...my browsing is faster thru vpn. No one needs to be hiding anything to want or use a vpn...you use it to defend yourself against targeted spam, propoganda and censorship.
Even something as simple as PB here.....your content is prioritized and presented to you differently based on which country you are in(or thinks you're in)

 I'd like to take a moment to issue a big F-you to NBC sports. What a buch of jerkfaces, buying rights to the race and then charging $55 to watch. Seriously, WTF? You're now on the shit list of every american mountain biker. Way to ruin your brand image NBC Sports.
  • 10 7
 not to mention we make up a good portion of the SX/MX market as well and they're already on thin ice from that coverage plan as it is.... they don't respect the sports so they don't care. They have the same plan as Trump did in 2016, appeal to the NASCAR people.

 In case people haven't figured it out, the race isn't until Sunday. For the US, its on NBC sports' app.

 This is trash, I have Direct TV and still do not get the NBC channel thats broadcasting it, that specific NBC channel is part of a big sports package RIDICULOUS

  • 2 0
 @pcassingham: I'm in the same boat with Sling TV. Same with moto, I go through the process of first being confused why the race is on so late to then being pissed when I realize they're rebroadcasting late because something else was apparently more important earlier in the day.

I wish that they would sign on to cover the entire season, i'd absolutely pay a subscription to watch all the races. But id want more than 4 cameras on course
  • 8 1
 Yeah, this is lame, it'll probably be Joe Buck and some other know-nothing sportsball jock giving commentary on DH biking instead of Rob and Claudio. ...or better yet, NBC producers will all be "We need x-treme sports personality to host this, call Todd Richards and Sal Masakela, the kids will love it." ...connect via a VPN and watch on Redbull TV, way better.
  • 4 4
 @chacou: What is a VPN?

 @chriskneeland: The schedule I saw for NBC SN showed qualifying for Darlington during the XC final and AVP Pro Beach Volleyball during the DH finals. I don't get just NBC though, so that could be different.

 @dynamatt: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network This is a somewhat dense article, but the author provides an extremely simple VPN setup that should allow US residents to watch Redbull.tv coverage of the DH race instead of NBC, www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-set-up-a-vpn-in-5-minutes-for-free-and-why-you-urgently-need-one-d5cdba361907

 @dynamatt: Browsec, browsec.com, is good plugin by mainline browsers (Firefox, Chrome, ...), looks like a free account allows one to connect through servers in Germany which should allow viewing of Redbull.tv coverage
  • 2 0
 @chacou: Ok, so once downloaded, you can just load the redbull page and it will think you're in whatever country/ it works?
  • 6 0
 @mtbmaniatv: With Browsec, yeah basically, just install the plugin to your browser, turn it on, it looks like it connects to servers in NL by default, then go to Redbull.tv and it should think you're visiting from an IP Address located in the Netherlands ...I'm not 100% certain how this will work with streaming video on Redbull.tv, as it does constrain the "pipe", so with a VPN connection you won't get as fast speeds as without one, and I'm not certain how Redbull.tv does their browser detection ...yup, looks like with it on Redbull their geolocation script returns: `{
"success": true,
"country": "nl",
"georegion": "155"
}` so it _should_ work Wink

 Redbull has the live stream except in the nations that have someone who could win. Oh France you want to watch Loris and Amoury try to take the title from Loic? PAY ME. Americans wanna see Gwinn return and maybe finally WIN the stripes at a mountain he excels at? PAY ME. Hey Australia you know Troy Brosnan is due for a big win one of these days.... PAY ME. this is honestly just a money grab attempt that is sure to push more people away than it will attract by being marketed to non bike people who don't appreciate the sport.

 $55 to watch a single race? i'm not buying a roadie package from NBC just to watch one race.... Living in the northeast it would have been just as cheap to carpool with some friends and just go watch it live..... this is a shame. Going to be a lot of American fans disappointed in the UCI and Redbull. And they wait until 5 days before the race to announce this?
  • 8 0
 I'll never understand why networks pay to show sports that a)they know nothing about b) show at times where no one will watch and c) any new viewers won't stick around since it's a one-off and the broadcast will be horrible.
  • 6 0
 So USA folks, just looked and we don't even get the DH race on any NBC sports channels based on their current schedule. Maybe the DH will be on Redbull still since its not an Olympic event where XC is. The XC looks to also be on the Olympic Channel. Tip sign up for 7 day trial of Hulu with live channels and you get the Olympic channel.
  • 2 0
 I just looked and YouTube tv has it on the Olympic Channel too. They probably have a trial period as well.

 @bismirle: Huh. On NBC's site, the DH is not on the schedule... I see XC on Saturday but no DH over the weekend.
  • 2 0
 @dhx42: I don't see the downhill on the Olympic TV's schedule, but when I search in my Youtube Tv app it shows UCI Women's and Men's downhill on Sunday, and lets me set the dvr to record it. My only guess is they are not showing it live, so it isn't considered a 'live event' on their site... The women are on at 3pm mountain and the men are at 4pm. Who knows if that is actually what is going to get recorded.
  • 1 0
 @bismirle: Ok. That makes more sense
  • 3 2
 You can and must watch it on redbull.tv website by installing a simple VPN in you browser that makes your computer appear to be part of a domain that's located in any of the non-blocked countries.

I will be driving during some of the races and will be watching the redbull.tv app on my iphone w/VPN and bluetoothing the audio to my car and just occasionally looking at my screen which sits on the dash covering up my speedometer whenever Claudio squeals about "carrying guuud speed" or Warner says "Bart, are we seeing an attack?!!!"

 So when you click on the link for the BBC, to see how you can watch it in the UK, it takes you to a BBC web page that only shows a schedule for last year, or the previous two years. FFS, how crap is that.

Anyone know the times you can watch it on the BBC then ?
  • 2 0
 most likely they haven't set the broadcast times yet but if it's the same as years gone by it'll be on fed button or the iolayer/sport app. IIRC last year they just re-streamed RBs coverage so perhaps look there for coverage times
  • 12 5
 Will the e-bike race be broadcasted anywhere?

 and only if they carry the redbull feed, otherwise we’ll get some know nothing muppets presenting it. Plus what about a replay if you cant catch it live? Hoping my vpn should solve the issue.

 @tobiusmaximum: I don't think TV license investigators go near 'radar vans' anymore, that's something used in the very distant past / just a myth, especially when you consider many don't use an aerial to receive tv anyway anymore, so a radar van would be pretty useless.

Nowdays they just send a letter to a house without a license, its then upto you if you get one or reply stating you don't need one because you don't watch TV, then if they arrive on your doorstep its your responsibility to prove you don't have a TV that is capable of receiving live television or tell them to do one and they may take you to court.

I hardly watch live TV (like once a month) but cant be arsed with the trouble and cant help but feel the license days are numbered, young people don't give a shite about live TV.
  • 3 2
 @justanotherusername: actually, a whole bunch of people have taken them to court and won.. the BBC have been caught numerous times breaking the neutrality rules that govern their existence, but obviously they don’t want anyone to know about that.

 @tobiusmaximum: I didn't say anything about the court outcome, just that its your responsibility to prove your TV usage and that they may take you to court if you decide not to have one and they think you are watching live TV.

It does irk me that I don't use the service I pay for but personally don't want the hassle, weak option I know and agree its a mega odd situation with the TV license in the UK.

 Hey nonny no!

Redbull TV - complete race coverage complete with indepth pre-race programming and almost instant online replays; knowledgeable, well practiced, well respected, and crazy commentary team, aimed squarely at those who regularly enjoy the sport.

BBC - Live feed of the top 3 women and top 5 men shown once then lost in to the depths of iplayer in a ski sunday fashion, indepth pre-race program interviewing british riders who won't be racing to explain to their expected audience what the hell will be going on, and someone like Gabby Logan or John Inverdale presenting.

The BBC do so many things well, Blackadder, Topgear and 30+ years of David Attenborough being their best achievements. They should leave mountainbike racing alone for someone else to deal with. Properly.

 @freeridejerk888: Snowshoe is open Labor Day. This is an unfortunate bit of bad marketing on Snowshoe’s part. After Labor Day they’ve always went to fall hours- Both sides open Friday through Sunday. This year with the World Cup they have to shutdown for the weekend of the World Cup. So it appears there closed much longer. It’s not explained.

If you have a trail bike you should definitely still come. Enjoy the off the map free ride trails or go and Shuttle Tea Creek after watching the WC.

 HEY! Me too. Let me know if you get it figured out and I will bring the beer and festivities over.

 It’s a massive fail. No one in their right mind would close an entire Mountian for one trail At least leave 1 side open. Either way f*ck snowshoe we’re spending our money and time on better places anyway.
  • 7 1
 @freeridejerk888: Dude relax, they are going to have DH on the western side and XC on the basin side, there is no way to have the park still running and it not be a massive fail. Its not like its a local club race its a freakin world cup there is alot going on. Snowshoe is great they have awesome staff and are very organized, dont be mad that you didnt check the website ahead of time to see the one weekend out of the whole season that they are closed its been on the website forever.
  • 2 2
 No it wasn’t posted last week. A lot of people are upset by this. They don’t close other World Cup venues. Why this and why not have this posted everywhere for the last 9 months? @Aem221:
  • 1 0
 @freeridejerk888: Im not sure where I saw it but I have known about it for quite some time, maybe I looked at the event calender directly and saw it. The world cup course sort of weaves down the mountain on the western side using numerous existing trails and some newly built stuff its not just one line down the mountain like some venues. They have one lift per side of the mountain if you had racers/course marshalls, spectators and bike riders sharing the lifts it would be ridiculous.

Just come up and watch the race! Will probably be a while until we get the chance to do so again.
  • 2 0
 @freeridejerk888: The XC race is on the basin side so that has to be shut down for at least part of the time too. With the entire mountain being sold out, the lifts are going to be packed even without riders smashing laps. It's probably a good thing that the bike park is closed.

 Does anybody know who has the English licensing for Canada ? I know it says Canada is available, but it seems only with the Polish, and German commentators. I checked the upcoming events and there was no (en) abbreviation next to the events. Just tried watching the XCO womans race and once Rob was done with the opening comments it switched to German commentators.

Guess I'll just have to watch the replay if it's available.

Not gonna be Warner/Claudio in the booth either with NBC I’d imagine. Probably some clueless commentator. This is why I no longer watch MLB and I was an avid fan. Comcast bought all the rights to broadcast the games in Philly. Meaning you’ve got to have a premium cable subscription just to watch baseball. Asport I grew up watching on local channels. USA is hyper- capitalism run amok. Looks like this sport is going the same way. WTF? I’m flabbergasted. $54!!!!!!!

 Pretty sure I watched it on Red Bull last year and I was in UK at the time even though the BBC seemed to have it according to link above. Probably be aired on both as they are using the same stream.

 Will redbull be able to stream the race on their site in the USA eventually? I'm out of town this weekend and won't be able to watch it live anyway. Earliest I can watch is Monday.

 I have NBCSN in my DirecTV lineup. tried it on my fire tv. after logging in with my DirecTV credentials my phone said I could watch all OlympicTV/NBCSN/ETc content. but app won't let me. says my package doesn't include it

 @Cerps: had the same trouble with my Roku. Could watch it on my phone but not the TV even though I was logged in with the same credentials. Stupid greedy cable companies. I'd pay the $55 if that's what we needed to do for the season, but when NBC comes in for one race it's ridiculous.
