Watch 24 Hours of Le Mans 2026 live streams as the world's most famous endurance race returns to the Circuit de la Sarthe for its 94th running. Ferrari are back to defend their crown in the 24-hour classic, which also serves as the third round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, with double points on offer.
Ferrari's trio Phil Hanson, ex-F1 driver Robert Kubica and Yifei Ye are back again, but the favorites are arguably championship leaders BMW M Team WRT after René Rast, Robin Frijns and Sheldon van der Linde led their BMW teammates home at Spa-Francorchamps to claim a historic one-two finish for the German manufacturer in the Hypercar era.
Toyota, Cadillac, Aston Martin, Alpine, Peugeot and Genesis are among the other entrants, with the latter, Hyundai’s luxury car division, making its enduro debut this season.
BMW are seven points clear of Toyota and 17 ahead of Ferrari in the championship standings, making Le Mans 2026's double points all the more vital.
There will be three classes on show: Hypercar and LMGT3 will be present, as at any race weekend, while LMP2 makes its annual return to WEC at Le Mans.
