How to watch Tour de France 2023: Live stream the 110th edition

The 2023 Tour de France arrives in Paris for its final stage: here's how to watch the racing on TV

• UK TV schedule
• Watch away from home
• US, Canada and Australia TV schedule

It's the final day of this year's race, and – with the battle for the yellow jersey effectively over – Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) has achieved his second victory in a row. The sprinters will be out for glory in Paris, however, so you'll be looking for a Tour de France live stream so you can watch the action from the finish line as it happens. Coverage is available free-to-air on ITVX (UK) and SBS On-Demand (AUS), so make sure you know how to  watch for free with a VPN from anywhere .

Saturday's stage 20 between Moûtiers and Bourg-en-Bresse was won by two-time Tour winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). That meant that second-placed Pogačar, who had been neck-and-neck with Vingegaard until Tuesday's time trial, claimed back a few seconds in the General Classification , but not enough to make a significant dent on Vingegaard's seven-minute lead. Pogačar's UA teammate, Adam Yates, will occupy the third step on the podium.

Sunday's final stage takes the riders on a 115km route from Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris, culminating on the famous Champs-Élysées. Alpecin-Deceuninck  will surely be trying to get their green jersey wearer, Jasper Philipsen, in contention for a sprint finish, with the rider trying to secure his fifth stage stage win of this year's Tour. You can find out if he manages it by tuning into a Tour de France 2023 live stream. You'll find everything you need to know about how to watch the race below.

Tour de France 2024 TV Guide: Where and when every stage, plus commentator guide

Mediaweek visits Italian cities in opening Stages before Tour moves into France

The world’s premier cycling events are returning to SBS.

The 2024 Tour de France begins June 29 with the first three stages in Italy this year. The Tour de France Femmes starts on August 12, the day after the Paris Olympics finishes.

Tour de France 2024 dates Men: June 29 – July 21 Women: August 123 – August 18

With visits to Italy and two tiny microstates (San Marino and Monaco) the 111th Tour De France cycles through four counties this year.

For the first time in history, the race will not finish in its traditional Paris destination, but the city of Nice in the Cote d’Azur which will host the final stage of this year’s Tour.

Mediaweek on location in Italy

Prior to the start of the tour, Mediaweek has been on the road in Northern Italy, visiting the major cities that the tour will visit in its first three stages.

The cobblestone streets of Florence will be cleared of tourists for the start of the race on Saturday June 29. People watching on TV will, as usual, have the best views with the fleet of choppers set to deliver some of the most memorable images of the start of a Tour. US tourists in particular have returned en masse to Europe this year. Understandably, Florence is one of their key stops in Italy.

The Stage 1 route from the tourist magnet city tracks eastward toward the Adriatic Sea and the coastal town of Rimini. Along the way, the riders will visit San Marino, the microstate where you get a separate stamp in your passport on arrival. That stretch of the race promises the most impressive images as the riders climb the hilltops where San Marino sits.

Then it is downhill to the coast and Rimini. The aerial shots here too should be memorable as riders head to the finish line with miles of beach umbrellas and sun lounges hugging the coast. Much of the Rimini seafront is being upgraded. That together with thousands of visitors will ensure bedlam near the beach.  Something that TV viewers will be able to marvel at, without being stuck in the gridlock.

Countdown clocks around Rimini prepare the locals for Stage 1

For Stage 2 , riders travel by coach a little further north and then jump on their bikes from Cesenatico onto Bologna. It’s another 200k ride and the streets of Bologna too are heavy with visitors at this time of year. The crowds will be nothing like the crush in Florence though, with many visitors to this Italian city keen to sample the food delights. Along the way, riders cycle through the ancient Roman layout that makes Ravenna’s streets wide and flat. The local Carabinieri shouldn’t have too much trouble keeping the tourists and locals under control. Ravenna doesn’t attract the tourist hordes that invade other cities despite the reassures housed here in eight Basilicas. The town was the capital of the western Roman Empire with the now UNESCO Monuments offering a stunning collection of glittering mosaics from around 1500 years ago.

For Stage 3 of the Tour, it starts 90 minutes in a coach away from the end of Stage 2 in the smallish town of Piacenza. The town square is dominated by a Gothic Palace and a nearby eight-sided Basilica. A day of 230k will bring the riders to their final stop in Italy at the biggest city close to the French border – Turin. The streets in the old town are again wide and flat. There are impressive Piazzas at every turn, ringed with highlights of architecture from the last 500 years.

Overview of all 21 Stages of men’s race

Crossing 3,492 kilometres, including 52,340 metres of vertical gain over 21 stages, the Tour will visit 39 picturesque towns, through stunning scenery and historic landmarks.

Four mountain ranges, the Apennines, the French and Italian Alps, the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, will deliver spectacular scenery and the renowned difficulty associated with the Tour de France. In this years’ route, cyclists will tackle eight flat stages, four hilly stages, two individual time trials and seven mountain stages – four of which will conclude at the summit (Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet, Plateau de Beille, Isola 2000 and Col de la Couillole). For the first time in 35 years, the race will finish with an individual time trial.

Tour de France women

The Tour de France Femmes will begin the day after the Paris Olympic Games on August 12 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Travelling through Belgium and France, the race will cross three countries and three French regions, covering 10 departments. The cyclists will battle it out to the finish line on August 18 on the most famous Alpe in Tour history – Alpe d’Huez, making its debut in the women’s race route. The eight stages of the Tour de France Femmes include three flat stages, two hilly stages, two mountain stages, and one individual time trial.

SBS coverage of both events

Both Tours will be available to stream live, in full, on SBS On Demand, where visitors can also visit the Tour de France Hub for a variety of Tour content including extended highlights, full stage catch-up replays, and mini-stage recaps.

Live coverage of the Tour will include new cultural and historical segments. The SBS Sport website is the place to be for all the latest news updates, opinions, expert analysis, statistics, results, and short highlight videos. The Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes broadcast times vary.

Long-term SBS contract

After the 2020 Tour de France, SBS secured a long-term 10-year contract for the race. This is the fourth year of the 10 years covered in that contract.

SBS director of sport, Ken Shipp said: “With SBS’s extensive coverage of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Australia’s home of cycling is going to be jam-packed with gripping cycling coverage following every twist and turn of the rigorous route cyclists are fearlessly tackling this year. Sport unites people from all corners of the globe, and the world’s biggest annual sporting event, the Tour de France, captivates audiences worldwide. SBS is incredibly proud to bring all the action and captivating moments to Australian audiences. We’re ready for this year’s event and cannot wait to cheer on the Aussies as they conquer these challenging routes.”

SBS ŠKODA Tour Tracker app

All stages of the Tour will be available live on the SBS ŠKODA Tour Tracker app which will feature uninterrupted live coverage of every stage, combined with data and rider statistics giving cycling fans an enhanced viewing experience.

Aussie riders on the men’s Tour

176 riders will be attempting to conquer the men’s route this year. The star-studded line up of general classification contenders is expected to include international stars Jonas Vingegaard who will be attempting to achieve a Tour De France hat trick whilst defending his 2023 and 2022 title against David Gaudu, Simon Yates, Mikel Landa , and reigning Giro d’Italia winner Tadej Pogacar who will attempt to conquer both grand tours this year.

After Giro d’Italia victory in 2022 and winning a stage in the Tour de France last year, Australian Jai Hindley will be a top contender to secure a spot on the podium. Jack Haig also has his eye on the Tour de France podium this year, with fellow Australians Luke Durbridge and Chris Harper featuring in the Australian Jayco Aulula Team supporting their team leader Simon Yates .

SBS commentators guide

SBS’ expert commentary team will be on the ground in Europe, capturing all the action and fierce competition. Reporting on location will be Australia’s experts, the ‘Australian voice of cycling’ Matthew Keenan and national time trial champion Dr Bridie O’Donnell for both the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes.

They are being joined by Tour de France yellow jersey wearer and multiple Tour stage winner Simon Gerrans for the men’s race. Providing exclusive interviews and reporting on the ground for both Tours will be Australian National Road Race Champion David McKenzie , alongside Christophe Mallet who will deliver insights on race tactics and information on the cultural and historical significance of the captivating locations travelled.

He found competitive cycling as a teenager on the suggestion of Australian cycling legend Phil Anderson, who then lived on a property nearby Gerrans’ parents farm in country Victoria. Anderson, who saw Gerrans cycling as rehabilitation from a serious knee injury after a motor bike racing crash, encouraged him to take up the sport competitively. Simon has been a proud ambassador and active fundraiser of the Chain Reaction Challenge Foundation since 2010 and was the founder of the Victorian Inter-School Cycling Series.

Watch live cycling on any streams

If you are outside of your home region and need to access your live streaming services to watch the action, you may find your access to be geo-restricted.

In this case, a VPN service will come in handy, allowing your computer to pretend it's home and let you log into your streaming accounts to catch all of the racing action.

Our colleagues at TechRadar thoroughly tested several VPN services and came up with a few great recommendations below.

Tour de France 2024: How to Watch a Free Livestream

Your guide to watching the 111th edition of the world's most iconic bike race, including all the teams, stages and full schedule.

Get set for three intense weeks of calf-shredding climbs and nail-biting sprints as the world's best riders take on the 111th Tour de France.

The first four stages of this year's race all begin in Italy, while there's a huge break with tradition with the final stage taking place in Nice rather than Paris for the first time ever due to the Olympic and Paralympic Games being held in the French capital.

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard is joined by fellow yellow jersey frontrunners Tadej Pogacar, Primoz Roglic, Remco Evenepoel, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel on one of the strongest start lists of recent years.

Below, we'll outline the best  live TV streaming services  to use to watch the the Tour de France live wherever you are in the world.

Tour de France 2024: Where and when is it?

The Tour de France begins with Stage 1 in Florence on Saturday, June 29, and ends with a tradition-breaking passage from Monaco to Nice on Sunday, July 21.

A full schedule for this year's event can be found below.

How to watch the Tour de France online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the Tour locally, you may need a different way to watch the world's greatest cyclists -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on race day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our  Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN , make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great  VPN deals  taking place right now.

Best VPN for streaming

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick  for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code  SPECIALDEAL , which should be automatically applied.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Quick tips for streaming Tour de France 2024 using a VPN 

• With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming the Tour de France live may vary.
• If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
• If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. 
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend  Brave .

One of the world's most iconic races, the Tour de France 2024 is underway. We have all the information you’re going to need to watch the race no matter where you are, as well as key bits to stay up to date with the race over its entire run. 

US : NBC ( live TV streaming services ) | Peacock UK : ITV, ITVX | Discovery Plus Watch anywhere — Try  NordVPN

After a thrilling race in 2023 (documented in Netflix’ s Tour de France: Unchained season 2 ) the Tour de France 2024 marks the 111th iteration of the cycling race that features 21 stages over the course of 23 days. However, this year is going to be a bit different because the Summer Olympics is set to begin in Paris just days after the Tour de France is scheduled to end, so the French capital is not serving as the location of a stage for the first time in the race's history. But many of the world's best cyclists are still set to compete in a true endurance test, including two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard.

Without further ado, here is everything you need to know about how to watch the Tour de France 2024.

To catch NBC’s coverage of the cycling event, you must have access to the broadcast network. If you need to sign up for a service with that, live TV streaming services like Fubo , Hulu with Live TV , Sling TV and YouTube TV all carry NBC.

The 2024 Tour de France is officially underway for the 111th time, and the competition is heating up. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Tour de France, including global free streaming options.

The race kicked off this year in Italy, but the riders are now cycling through France, with more than half of the competition officially completed. The race consists of 21 stages spread across 23 days, with each leg of the competition bringing its own set of challenges. Terrain ranges from flat to hilly to mountainous, and each stretch is a different length (with most spanning more than 150 kilometers). The rider with the shortest combined times will be crowned victor in Nice, France, on July 21.

Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogacar, who won the Tour de France in 2020 and 2021, currently leads the race. He's on a hot streak following a May first-place victory at the Giro d'Italia (the first of the three annual Grand Tour races). Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard, who won the Tour de France in 2022 and 2023 but suffered a major crash earlier this year, is currently ranking third, trailing behind Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel. 

Below, we've outlined all of the ways you can live stream the Tour de France. We'll keep this page updated with start times for every stage of the tournament.

How Tour de France is lifting SBS

With double points share every night, the tour de france is even helping sbs to beat 10 and abc..

• Published by David Knox
• on July 11, 2024
• Filed under News

Tour de France has been delivering strong audiences to SBS since it began on June 29.

According to SBS its highest national Total TV Reach has been 944,000 viewers for Stage 2.

While Reach may be a contentious figure in ratings reports, it does become more contextully relevant when broadcasts can extend for over 5 hours. When a race finishes as late as 1:45am not everybody makes it to the finish line.

Helping to gauge its success is the broadcasting share SBS is attracting across the event. On Saturday it went above 10 and ABC to give SBS third place for the night at 14.7%. At the moment, Tour de France is helping SBS to double points every night.

Last week, live streaming at SBS On Demand also peaked, with a year-to-date record average audience.

SBS Director of Sport, Ken Shipp said: “Australian cycling fans have clearly been captivated by the action of the 2024 Tour de France and are enthusiastically tuning in to SBS for all the colour and excitement.”

2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for the TDF on the network, he noted.

“This current generation of cyclists competing is the most interesting and colourful so far; more social media-savvy, more crowd-pleasing and more entertaining. There are fewer Aussies competing this year, but viewing is continuing to grow. The Tour de France is really coming into its own as a major annual viewing event for Australian sport fans to have on their calendar of must-watch events.

“We’re looking forward to showcasing more of the thrills on the road, wonderful local scenery and cuisine, and of course, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.”

SBS screens Tour de France until July 21, and the women’s race Tour de France Femmes from August 12 to August 18, post- Olympics.

French-Australian chef Guillaume Brahimi has also returned with Plat du Tour .

How To Watch the Tour de France in 2024

Cheer on your favorite riders and teams as the Tour de France comes to NBC Sports platforms this June and July.

Edited By Aaron Gates

Share | Jul 1, 2024

The Tour de France pedals onto TV every summer—showcasing the world’s greatest road cyclists. As in recent seasons, NBC Sports will broadcast this year’s event across NBC and Peacock .

Peacock is our favorite service for watching the race because it carries every stage live and on demand. It’s also the streaming home of the Tour de France Femmes and Vuelta a España.

Keep scrolling for a closer look at watching Tour de France 2024 TV coverage—including the complete schedule with channel listings.

What channel shows the Tour de France?

You can watch the Tour de France on NBC and Peacock . You’ll get the most live coverage from Peacock, which streams every stage and the daily Tour de France Pre-Race Show . Meanwhile, NBC will carry select portions of the Saturday stages—including an encore of Stage 20.

Can’t get enough of Le Tour? Check out the behind-the-scenes docuseries Tour de France: Unchained on Netflix . Each season covers the previous year’s tour by chronicling the experiences of top racers like Jasper Philipsen, Jonas Vingegaard, and Mark Cavendish.

2024 Tour de France TV schedule

This year’s Tour de France begins on June 29 in Italy before crossing into France on the fourth day. As usual, the 21-day route features a solid mix of flat to mountainous terrain. Two rest days break up the action before racers make their way to Nice—a departure from the usual Avenue des Champs-Élysées finish in Paris.

Data effective as of post date. Race times include Peacock’s live Tour de France Pre-Race Show coverage.

2024 Tour de France Femmes schedule

Just as the Summer Olympics wraps up in Paris, the Tour de France Femmes takes off from the Netherlands. This third edition of the women’s race features an eight-stage route that ends with a scenic climb in the Western Alpes.

Data effective as of post date.

Best Tour de France TV plans

A Peacock subscription is the best way to watch the Tour de France. Starting at $5.99 a month, the streaming service provides live and on-demand access to every stage of the men’s and women’s races. You’ll also get daily pre- and post-race studio coverage during the men’s competition, plus race highlights and rider interviews. During the 2024 race, episodes of Lance Armstrong’s THEMOVE podcast will also be available for on-demand access via Peacock.

If you’re only interested in Le Tour, you can cancel your Peacock subscription after the final stage. Otherwise, the service’s cycling coverage doesn’t stop there. Peacock hosts the Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Critérium du Dauphiné, Vuelta a España, and Paris Tours. It’s also home to the Paris Olympics , which features road race and track cycling events days after the Tour de France ends.

Fan verdict: At CableTV.com, we’ll be watching the 2024 Tour de France on Peacock because it’s the only platform in the U.S. that provides live coverage of every stage. This exclusivity is crucial for dedicated fans who want to experience the race in its entirety. Peacock also offers the advantage of full-stage replays, which is especially important because of the race’s early start times.

Which TV providers carry the Tour de France?

Besides Peacock, most TV services carry Tour de France coverage via NBC. Our table below illustrates which popular providers offer the two channels.

How can I watch the Tour de France for free?

† CableTV.com utilizes paid Amazon links. Amazon.com Price; $39.99 (as of 6/20/24 10:45 a.m. CT). Read full disclaimer .

The most convenient way to watch the Tour de France for free is by using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna to pick up your local NBC station. Unfortunately, NBC doesn’t show a lot of race coverage—only three Saturday presentations. But it never hurts having an antenna in your TV setup.

If you don’t have an antenna, most cost between $20.00 and $60.00. We recommend the Mohu Leaf 50 for its 60-mile range and slim design. But you’ll want to verify the distance of your nearest NBC station by entering your zip code into the Federal Communications Commission’s Reception Map Tool . That’ll help determine if you need a more robust antenna, which we feature on our Best OTA Antennas page.

Can I stream the Tour de France for free? You can watch select Tour de France stages for free using a live TV streaming trial . Otherwise, you can also catch free race recaps on NBC Sports’ YouTube channel .

Does Peacock include the Tour de France world feed?

No, Peacock won’t stream the 2024 Tour de France world feed. While the service carried the world feed in 2023, subscribers will only get NBC Sports-produced coverage in 2024. That means you’re stuck with play-by-play caller Phil Liggett, analyst Bob Roll, and reporters Steve Porino and Christian Vande Velde. You can work around this by using a VPN set to Canada and signing up for FloBikes, which features Eurosport’s coverage with commentators Anthony McCrossan and Nicolas Roche.

Stage 12 came down to a sprint as expected but unlike the previous brace of sprint stages this time a break did take the chance to escape. Four men went up the road to expose the names of their sponsors including Jonas Abrahamsen who added a few more points to his tally in the polka dot jersey competition to draw back level with Pogacar. 

In the race for yellow one man’s race was effectively ended as Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) was taken down in an innocuous crash losing two and a half minutes by the time he crossed the line. 

Stage 13 could likely be a carbon copy of stage 12 but with a multitude of small hills in the final forty kilometres some riders are sure to test their legs in attempt to thwart the sprinters.

Tour de France 2024 captivates Australians with almost 4 million viewers tuning in so far

9 July, 2024

• More than 3.9 million Australians have tuned into the 2024 Tour de France to date, including more than 1.3 million Australians aged 25-54 .
• Last week, livestreaming on SBS On Demand peaked, with a year-to-date record average audience.
• Tour de France Stage 2 has so far achieved the highest national Total TV reach of 944,000 viewers.
• Last week, Total BVOD (Live + VOD) achieved the highest weekly consumption hours of 2024 at 3 million hours .

SBS Director of Sport, Ken Shipp said: “Australian cycling fans have clearly been captivated by the action of the 2024 Tour de France and are enthusiastically tuning in to SBS for all the colour and excitement.

“With nine stages now down and still 11 to go, it’s shaping up to be a massive year for the TDF on the network, and we couldn’t be happier with the audience reception.

“This current generation of cyclists competing is the most interesting and colourful so far; more social media-savvy, more crowd-pleasing and more entertaining. There are fewer Aussies competing this year, but viewing is continuing to grow. The Tour de France is really coming into its own as a major annual viewing event for Australian sport fans to have on their calendar of must-watch events.

“We’re looking forward to showcasing more of the thrills on the road, wonderful local scenery and cuisine, and of course, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.”
