Stream footage of all sessions, in addition to the race live through the official FIA WEC TV Google app or Apple app, which also offers 37 onboard camera views, including most of the Hypercar grid.
The footage can be cast to a TV, while the app offers live timing and a feed from race control too.
An in-app pass for Le Mans alone costs a one-off £14.99 or you can opt for a Le Mans + End of Season pass, which includes the rest of the year’s World Endurance Championship rounds in Brazil, America, Japan and Bahrain for a single £44.99 fee.
You can also stream the race via TNT Sports on the Discovery+ app. For more details, see below.
Eurosport, which held the Le Mans TV rights last year, has been swallowed up by TNT Sports, which will broadcast the race live in 2025. That includes all practice sessions, qualifying and the Hyperpole shootout.
The TNT channels are available via the premium Discovery+ package which costs £30.99 per month. You can buy direct through the Apple app or Google app. Amazon Prime subscribers can also add the package direct through their phone or TV app.
Sky users can also add TNT channels to their package for £28 per month.
Raceday coverage begins at 2pm BST, an hour before the race on TNT Sports 4, and continues uninterrupted for the full 24 hours.

Plenty of fans choose to mute the TV coverage in favour of the popular commentary from Radio Le Mans, which will once more be broadcasting during race week. Tune in to the team, led by the unmistakeable voice of John Hindhaugh online at radiolemans.co or on 91.2 FM at the circuit.
Both WEC and Le Mans YouTube channels post highlights of key moments during the race, along with regular recaps of the action so far. Last year, both channels posted a 10min highlight video of the full race within hours of the chequered flag. The full race was made available, free to view, on YouTube a month later.
