Get set for the cyclo-cross season: This early Black Friday VPN deal will let you watch all the races from anywhere this season
You can get up to 74% off NordVPN, allowing you to watch your streaming services wherever you are in the world
The 2025/2026 cyclo-cross season is underway and it's set to ignite this weekend with the start of the top-tier series, the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, so now's the time to get your viewing arrangements sorted.
Just in time for the start of the World Cup, NordVPN have gone early with their 2025 Black Friday deal, which nets you 74% off and an extra three months free on top.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network), is a cyber-security tool that keeps you safe online and allows you to alter the digital location of your devices, thus bypassing the geo-restrictions you get on most streaming platforms.
What this means when it comes to watching cyclo-cross is that you can access your usual streaming services, no matter where you're off on your travels between now and the end of the season.
NordVPN is rated as the best VPN service in the world by our expert colleagues at both TechRadar and Tom's Guide. They rave about its ability to unlock streaming services and can't fault its security credentials. With a bumper bargain this Black Friday, it's a worthwhile choice for the discerning cycling fan.
