The final Monument of the 2023 season, the Giro di Lombardia, is upon us, running from 9:20 to 16:01 on Saturday, October 7 as the year of racing draws to a close.
If you don’t want to miss any of the action you’ll need to watch a Giro di Lombardia live stream. You can follow the race on GCN+ and Eurosport/Discovery+ in the UK, and in the USA, with free-to-air options in Italy via RAI. Make sure you know how to watch from anywhere with a VPN.
Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) heads up a star-packed start list in Lombardy as he aims at becoming the only person since Fausto Coppi to win three editions of the race in a row.
The Slovenian superstar will have 238km of a mountainous route to contend with along the way, not to mention a host of top rivals including Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma), Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep), Enric Mas (Movistar), and Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ).

Watch Giro di Lombardia live stream from anywhere on the planet
If you’re away from home for the 2023 Giro di Lombardia, you might have a problem accessing your regular streaming service because of geo-blocking restrictions. Thankfully, there’s an easy solution.
If you’re not in the country for the Giro di Lombardia, live streaming the race is still an option – all you have to do is download and install a VPN and use a location inside the United Kingdom to watch the broadcast live as if you were back home.
Setting up a VPN is simple – just download, install, open the app and select your location.
Try out ExpressVPN for its speed, security and simplicity to use. It is also compatible with a range of devices and streaming services (e.g. Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PS4, etc.), giving you the option to watch wherever you want.
A VPN is a piece of software which offers both online privacy and the ability to change your IP address, meaning that you can access on-demand content or live TV like you would back at home while in another country. There are other great options out there, of course, and plenty of free VPNs but our sister site TechRadar recommends the paid-for ExpressVPN, which it consistently rates as the best VPN provider. ExpressVPN also gives you the added benefit of a 30-day money-back guarantee and three months free with a yearly plan.
