GCN+ subscribers, including me, got an email informing them about the closure of GCN+ from 19 December 2023.
Based on the first official announcement when the video was listed as private, it seemed like a definite end for the GCN+. However, because Eurosport owns the GCN network, I believe the live coverage will still be available on Eurosport.
This was later confirmed by the information in the official video announcement on the GCN YouTube channel.
European customers will be able to watch races on Discovery+ and Eurosport. For customers outside Europe, Warner Bros will inform customers outside Europe about the best place “as soon as possible.”
Either way, it’s a shame because GCN+, their app and coverage, was one of the best things that happened to cycling in years.
I hope the hardworking people behind GCN+ won’t lose their jobs and will continue working on the amazing content.
Below, you can read the entire email from GCN. I am curious what you think about this situation. Feel free to comment below.
