French jockey Christophe Lemaire competes ahead of the 2024 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe horse race in Paris.

Watch Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 2024 live stream

The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2024 is arguably the flat season's biggest event. You can watch the 2,400 meter (12 furlongs, about 1.5 miles) race at the famous Longchamp Racecourse online and for FREE in the UK, Ireland and Australia.

Now in its 103rd year, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is a horse race like no other. The blue riband event in the flat season, this is where the world's finest middle-distance horses come to become immortal, and scoop over half a sizeable €5million prize pot. 

Ace Impact, last year's winner, has been retired to stud, so there will be a new victor in 2024. Look De Vega and Sosie started as favorites over the 12-furlong course, the latter winning the Prix Niel last month, finishing ahead of the former in a career-first defeat. Look De Vega has gone way out in the late betting, though, after an unimpressive morning trot.

One further horse in the running could be Shin Emperor, who returns to the country of his birth following a sale to Japan. The colt is a brother to 2020 Arc winner Sottsass and could go well at the longer distance after finishing strongly at the recent Irish Champion Stakes.

It's a damp and chilly day in Paris today, with the possibility of rain for the big race itself. That means the going is likely to be fairly soft, after a relatively wet week in the French capital, and could result in an open race with an unexpected winner.

As the race approaches, Los Angeles has come in to match Sosie as one of the favorites, with Bluestocking also seeing its odds slashed. 

You can watch all the action from Longchamp Racecourse by following on a live stream so read on for how to watch Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2024 live streams wherever you are – starting with how to watch the race for FREE.

How to watch Arc de Triomphe 2024 from abroad

We've set out below how you can live stream Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2024 in a number of countries around the world. However, if you're away traveling for pleasure or for work, you probably won't be able to watch the horse racing like you normally would at home. This is the result of geo-blocking, best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to specific parts of the world.

A good streaming VPN can let you get around these digital borders, while also offering robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping. They're also really easy to use.

Use a VPN to watch Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2024 live streams from anywhere:

How to use a VPN

Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location, eg: 'Ireland' for the Virgin Media Player.

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home - so that might be the Virgin Media Player for Irish citizens abroad.
