(Image credit: Photo by Joosep Martinson - International Skating Union) Watch for free Watch from anywhere Watch in Canada Watch in the U.S. Watch in the U.K. Watch in Australia A pair of burgeoning rivalries are poised to light up the 2025 World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships at the iconic Vikingskipet in Hamar, Norway this week, with Erin Jackson and Femke Kok set to do battle in the 500m, and 1,000m and 1,500m specialist Takagi Miho wary of the growing threat from Jutta Leerdam. Below, we'll explain how to watch World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE. World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships live streams: TV schedule, dates The 2025 World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships run from Thursday, March 13 to Sunday, March 16. Full schedule below. ► Canada — CBC Gem (FREE) ► RoW — YouTube (FREE) ► U.S. — Peacock ► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free While Jackson has just secured her third consecutive World Cup title, Kok had to miss half of the campaign with a viral infection. Having beaten her American rival at each of the past two World Cup events, the Dutchwoman is clearly itching to make up for lost time. Takagi topped both the 1,000m and 1,500m rankings, but Leerdam got the better of her in Heerenveen earlier this year. Was the Dutch skater simply rising to the occasion at her home event, or is something bigger at play? Jordan Stolz is the main attraction in the men's events, where he's set to contest the 500m, 1,000m and 1,500m titles. The 20-year-old American won a men's record 18 consecutive World Cup races before a defeat (and further victories) last month, and should be well-rested after taking a pneumonia-enforced break. Here's how to watch World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships 2025 online and on TV – including free streaming options. We’ve also listed the full schedule below so you won't miss a moment. FREE World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships live streams The 2025 World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships are being live streamed for free on CBC Sports and its CBC Gem streaming service in Canada, ORF in Austria and Rai in Italy. The event is also being live streamed on the International Skating Union YouTube channel everywhere that Hamar 2025 doesn't have a broadcaster, such as the U.K. and Australia. But what if you're based in one of those countries but aren't at home to catch that free World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships coverage? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home? Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below. Watch World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships 2025 from anywhere It's only natural that you'll want to watch your usual home coverage of the World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships, especially if it's free-to-air. But what if you're not there when the event is on? Look no further than a VPN (virtual private network).
