How to Watch the Tour de France

From cable TV to live streaming, here are your options for watching the 2022 Tour.

• FuboTV also provides access to NBC’s coverage for $70 a month.

The 2022 Tour de France begins on Friday, July 1st with a 13.3km individual time trial through Copenhagen, Denmark. (Yes, Denmark!) So it’s time to start planning how you’re going to watch it.

Whether that means streaming from your phone, starting your morning with the previous day’s highlights, or inviting your friends over for a viewing party, the options for watching the Tour de France are plentiful.

For the Fanatics

In general, NBC offers the most accessible and affordable (and legal) options for American viewers to watch the Tour de France through its Peacock Premium streaming service for $4.99 a month. For ad-free coverage you’ll need a subscription to Peacock Premium Plus, which runs $9.99 a month. Eligible Comcast Xfinity X1 and Flex customers and Cox Contour customers may already access Peacock Premium for free.

You could cancel your subscription at the end of the Tour, but consider this: by subscribing to Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus you’ll also have access to the full men’s and women’s Tours as well as other races covered by NBC and its partners, including the 2022 Vuelta a España and next year’s editions of Paris-Nice and Paris-Roubaix.

The Peacock app is available on Roku, Apple devices, Android and AndroidTV devices, Google platforms, Chromecast, Xbox devices, Playstation 4 and 4 Pro, VIZIO SmartCast TVs, and LG Smart TVs. You can also watch online via the Peacock website.

If you have a good cable package and prefer conventional viewing on your television, you’re in luck: NBC will offer the race to cable subscribers via the USA Network and CNBC . Live coverage often starts around 7 a.m. ET, so 9-to-5ers will likely need to record each stage and watch later. (Check the full schedule for details.)

No Cable? No Problem.

If you don’t have cable and want more than what’s offered on the NBC app, a subscription to FuboTV costs $70 per month. Add the $12 per month cycling package you’ll have full access to NBC’s coverage of the race. Fubo’s also great for those who love cycling year round, as FuboTV has a full-time cycling channel covering the major Tours, the Classics, some World Championships, and even BMX racing. (It’s also available in Canada.) If you’ve been looking for a streaming service that offers most if not all of the channels you enjoy watching, it’s a solid option.

Riders to Watch

Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) has won the last two Tours and starts this year’s race as the overwhelming favorite. He can do it all: climb, descend, time trial–even the cobblestones of Belgium and Northern France have proven to be no match for the 23-year-old. Assuming he avoids crashes and bad luck during the Tour’s dangerous first week , he should have little trouble taking his third win.

Pogačar’s biggest challenge should come from Jumbo-Visma’s co-captains, Slovenia’s Primož Roglič and Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard, who finished second to Pogačar in 2020 and 2021, respectively. If they can play to one another’s strengths and avoid worrying about which one is their team’s “true” leader, then they might have a chance to dethrone the two-time defending champ.

The INEOS Grenadiers have won seven of the last ten Tours de France with four different riders–so clearly they know what it takes to win the world’s biggest bike race. But Pogačar’s proven to be a tough nut for the British super team to crack. This year we expect them to count on a mix of both old and new in their bid to reclaim the yellow jersey, with co-captains Geraint Thomas, who won the Tour in 2018, and Daniel Martinez, who’s riding only his third Tour and his first as his team’s protected rider, expected to lead the way.

Other riders to keep an eye on include Australia’s Ben O’Connor, Russia’s Aleksandr Vlasov (BORA-hansgrohe), and Colombia’s Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-EasyPost).

Since getting hooked on pro cycling while watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship in Philadelphia, longtime Bicycling contributor Whit Yost has raced on Belgian cobbles, helped build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux as an assistant director sportif. These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Jeremy Whittle's report from Calais

Let’s not get too carried away . Pogacar is only 32 seconds back in the GC. But Van Aert’s form has been frightening in these early stages, with three second-placed finished and the stage win in Calais today. The Slovenian will surely row back some of that time in the later mountain stages. But tomorrow now becomes an absolutely HUGE stage, with pressure on all the GC riders on the cobbles. One mercy is that the weather looks fair, so no rain and minimal winds. Here is what awaits, courtesy of our stage-by-stage guide .

Stage 5, Wednesday 6 July: Lille-Arenberg Porte du Hainault, 157km

Assuming the Great Belt has been kind to the field, this is the first decisive day, with 11 stretches of treacherous cobbles in the final 80km. There will be a huge battle to be at the front for the first section at Villers-au-Tertre and that is bound to lead to crashes. In 2014, Vincenzo Nibali effectively won the Tour in a similar stage; this year, the big favourites will be Van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel.

To put Van Aert’s power on the final climb in context , he was over 12km/hr quicker on that ascent than Fabio Jakobsen, who won stage two.

💥 @JumboVismaRoad on the attack! A team attack like on @ParisNice , and they drop almost everyone! 💥 L'attaque collective de @JumboVismaRoad ! Comme sur @ParisNice , ils profitent de la dernière difficulté pour visser ! #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/QAuhF7wsHH — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 5, 2022

Insane numbers .

After a powerful attack on the final climb, @WoutvanAert averaged 62.0km/h in the final 10km to fly to his 7th @LeTour stage win 💨 #TDFdata #TDF2022 https://t.co/nzMn4RRmrN — letourdata (@letourdata) July 5, 2022

Van Aert speaks!

I didn’t want to take the risk. It was quite obvious that we were trying something with the team. I felt it was super hard on the climb and we heard on the radio that were was some damage. So I went for it. I decided to go alone and then it was 10km of all-out suffering.

Van Aert is embraced, mid-interview, by his Jumbo team-mates. It’s worth mentioning again the effort by Jumbo-Visma’s Nathan van Hooydonck and Tiesj Benoot to put Van Aert in position on that breakaway. Geraint Thomas and Adam Yates were desperately scrambling to stay on the wheel of the Jumbo lads, but were simply spat out of that back. They had no answer to the power of Van Aert and co.

That was a unique attack from someone in yellow . We might have seen an attack like that in the mountains, perhaps, but rarely like that on a little climb at the end.

Philipsen was leading the peloton, and were going so fast that they must have expected to catch Van Aert.

Pogacar and Yates were nowhere to be seen.

That’s a seventh stage win for Van Aert , who cements his position.

The peloton came home around 15 seconds behind the Belgian. This is how they finished!

Van Aert wins stage four!

What a sublime ride from the Belgian! A brilliantly timed breakaway from Jumbo Wisma, combined with the firepower and thrust in Van Aert’s legs in that final 10km, gave the yellow jersey holder the win! Huge, and Van Aert’s celebrates with a bird-like celebration as he crosses the line!

1km to go: Sixteen seconds now. Surely Van Aert has done enough! The sprinters are helpless!

2km to go: The gap is back to 20 seconds now! I think Van Aert is going to do it!

3km to go: Van Aert is giving it his all. This is phenomenal ride for a man in yellow who has finished second in all three of the stages so far in this year’s Tour. He appears determined to secure his first stage here.

5km to go: There is no sign of Van Aert cracking! The lead is now 27 seconds back to the peloton, and there’s a third group, 50 seconds back, including Groenewegen!

8km to go: Has Van Aert gone too early?! He takes the KoM point at Cap Blanc-Nez and has opened a 20 second lead over the peloton, with Roglic, Yates and Pogacar all in tow. Van Aert looks incredibly strong, that was an incredible burst, that caught everyone by surprise.

Van Aert is all alone at the front!

10km to go: Major problems for the sprinters, then! Van Aert is too strong and suddenly, the holder of the yellow jersey is all alone at the front of the race. Nathan van Hooydonck and Tiesj Benoot gave him an excellent boost in the breakaway there.

Jumbo Visma have broken away!

12km to go: Here we go. The peloton have upped it, and within about a minute, Perez’s lead has been halved. Ten seconds in it. Jumbo Visma have gone, and caught everyone off guard. There is a split!

14 km to go: What a ride this is from Perez. On his own, this is so gutsy, as he makes his way up one of these uncategorised climbs. He remains about 30 seconds ahead.

17km to go: This is what awaits.

Tension is rising in the bunch with a tricky finale to battle it out on the way to Calais 👀 #TDFdata #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/lwiMWW0BNd — letourdata (@letourdata) July 5, 2022

20km to go: Perez’s lead remains a touch over 30 seconds but will surely be caught. Some members of the peloton were caught doing 80km/hr on one particular descent. Crazy.

24km to go: What an email this is, from David Alderton, who has a fine cycling hat on his email avatar:

Seeing Jack Bauer at the front reminded me of one of the greatest ever stages I have seen. He was in a break from the moment the flag dropped on Stage 15 in 2014 and was looking to win the stage in Nimes after coving 22km, only to lose out with something like 20 metres to go. I’ve never shouted at a television quite as much, nor have I wanted to buy someone a big milkshake and say “it’s ok, mate, it’s Ok”. He’s a phenomenal rider, did near faultless ride, and then the cruel reality of bike racing crushed it all. It’s the best sport in the world.

This is the stage that David is talking about. It’s a cruel world.

This is what William Fotheringham wrote in 2014:

“In the shadow of the Roman Arena Jack Bauer and Martin Elmiger made a doomed attempt to win the stage in a finish redolent of a pair of gladiators being put to the sword after being given the thumbs up. After spending every pedal turn of the 222km stage – the third longest of the race – in front, all of seven pedal revolutions separated Bauer from the finish line when Kristoff swept past him with less than 25 metres to the line. “Bauer left Elmiger for dead with 100m to go and was clearly within reach of New Zealand’s first ever individual stage win in the Tour – Kiwis have twice been part of squads that have won team time-trial stages – when Kristoff and the others came haring past. Understandably he collapsed in tears afterwards.”

27km to go: Ineos and BikeExchange-Jayco are among the leaders of the peloton. Having a good position going into the final climb with around 10km to go, at Côte du Cap Blanc-Nez, is absolutely pivotal to make sure you aren’t dropped for the final stretch to Calais. Plenty of jostling, then, but I don’t think there will be any significant breakaways until we reach that final climb, which lasts only about 1km, but is very steep.

30km to go: From the helicopter’s camera, we can now see the coast.

🔥 Things are heating up at the front of the peloton, with the gap at just over 1' with 30km to go 🔥 La course s'anime en tête de peloton ! L'homme de tête n'a plus que 1' d'avance. #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/Mp2p18aZDE — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 5, 2022

36km to go: Ben Francis sends a message in response to Paul Griffin’s email:

The first Tour I properly paid attention to was 1997 (I was six at the time), and my memory was of a lot of sprint stages early on. I can’t find the actual stage profiles, but looking at the stages and results , it began with a 7km prologue won by Chris Boardman at an average speed of 52 km/h. Then followed *eight* sprint stages, of which seven look to have ended in bunch sprints (three wins for Erik Zabel, two for Mario Cipollini). The exception was stage 5, where the breakaway stayed away but Cipollini led the peloton home at 3’24 . I feel like flat openings to the Tour were pretty common back in the 90’s, and the trend for having more variety in the opening week started rather more recently. The other amazing thing, looking back at 1997, was how long stages were in the EPO era. Five of those first eight that year were over 200 km, and two were over 260!

38km to go: Bradley Wiggins, out on the Eurosport motorbike, is reporting how there is a dangerous little cross-head wind on the plateau that Perez is currently on. That spells a tricky little bit ahead for those in the peloton. With about 23km to go, the riders will reach the coast and change direction east towards Calais. That will be another test.

41km to go: Cort makes it back to the peloton and the safety of his EF Education-Easy Post team-mates, who pass him a few gels and drinks. He inhales all that is given to him.

43km to go: Cort is done for the day and will drop back now towards the peloton, who are just over a minute away now. It looks as though Perez will give it a go, though, and he’s left as the sole member of the breakaway.

47km to go: Cort takes one more point, uncontested, at Côte du Ventus, to make it 11/11 for this year’s race. Remarkable. Save for the first climb today, Perez has allowed Cort to take the KoM points today, and Cort allowed Perez to take the 20 points at the intermediate sprint. The two are deep in conversation at the front, it’s unclear what they are chatting about.

48km to go: I’ve barely mentioned Pogacar all day. He’s lurking menacingly about 10 wheels from the front of the peloton.

50km to go: Fifty to go! A bit more undulation now, as the peloton lurches up and down the climbs and descents. As Cort and Perez approach Côte du Ventus (no, no that one), there remains just one more categorised climb: Côte du Cap Blanc-Nez, with a maximum gradient of 12%-13%.

54km to go: “What makes cobble stone sections so difficult to ride?” asks Jan Bruck, via email? “How do they effect the speed of the race? Are they stressful for bikes as well as riders? Are they a good spectacle to watch?”

Generally, it’s carnage, especially if the winds are up, and it’s wet. The cobbles are slippy, the grooves between them can trap a wheel, and the road itself is narrow. These bikes are built for speed and efficiency, so there is little to protect the hands and the body from shuddering up and down the track. This article, from 2014 on the one-day Paris-Roubaix, does a better job of explaining why cobbles are so perilous.

58km to go: Alpecin, Lotto-Soudal riders are leading the charge at the front of the peloton. This is a relatively flat part of the stage, as riders make their way north back towards the coast. It’s into a headwind, which is causing the peloton to bunch and swell.

64km to go: An email from Paul Griffin.

“As a race I’m finding it a little bit undercooked so far, like a hungover student’s full English. It got me wondering whether this is the flattest start to a Tour ever? There have been very few climbs, and none at the business end of stages. This perhaps accounts for the fact that, while it’s been a spectacular, er, spectacle, there’s no real narrative yet, apart from the understandable simmering antipathy between Groenewegen and Jakobsen. Plot twist please.”

I don’t have any precise stats to hand, but Denmark was very flat, and for all the enthusiasm of the fans, a little boring racing wise. The lack of wind didn’t help, either. A bit more NARRATIVE wouldn’t harm things, certainly. It’s at times like these that we really miss the presence of a home favourite to spice things up. A shame that Julian Alaphilippe, who strove to get fit after his horrendous accident at the Liège-Bastogne-Liège Classic in April, narrowly failed to get himself ready for the start this year.

Tour de France 2024 preview: Full schedule, teams and how to watch live

The Tour de France 2024 is almost upon us with the world’s most prestigious cycling race getting underway on Saturday 29 June.

All eyes are on the duel between Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar and defending champion Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark. The pair have won the last four titles between them with each aiming to win a third Tour de France.

After his emphatic victory in the Giro d'Italia, Pogačar goes into the event as favourite to add to his two wins from 2020 and 2021. It could be an incredible few weeks for the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist with the Tour de France ended just days before the Olympic Games Paris 2024 .

Meanwhile, Vingegaard has made a late comeback from injury to be fit for the Tour as he seeks to become the sixth rider - and the first Scandinavian - to win three consecutive yellow jerseys.

This year’s race is unique for a number of reasons. It will be the first edition to begin in Italy , marking 100 years since Ottavio Bottecchia became the first Italian winner of the Tour de France.

The 'Grand Départ' is in Florence with the field traversing the Italian Alps before crossing the border into France during Stage 4. This will also be the first Tour to finish outside of Paris - due to its proximity to the Olympic Games - with the final stage an individual time trial from Monaco to Nice which will decide overall victory.

Here is everything you need to know about this year’s Tour de France.

Riders to watch at the Tour de France 2024

As well as the big two - Pogačar and Vingegaard - other challengers for the yellow jersey include Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič .

Evenepoel has played down his chances of general classification success on his Tour debut, but his pedigree suggests he will be a threat. The Belgian has some impressive results to his name including winning the 2022 road race world title, and GC at the 2022 Vuelta a España in 2022. He also boasts two Liège-Bastogne-Liège victories.

Roglič, the 2020 runner-up behind compatriot Pogačar, will take some confidence from his overall victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné.

Jasper Philipsen is the favourite to retain the sprinters' green jersey after winning Milan-San Remo and finishing second at Paris-Roubaix. Denmark's Mads Pedersen , road race world champion five years ago, is among his main challengers while Mark Cavendish needs just one stage win to break his tie with Eddy Merckx (both on 34) for the most stage victrories in race history.

Old cyclocross rivals Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert will also be in the mix for stage wins. The latter is back as one of Vingegaard's chief lieutenants in the Visma Lease a Bike team after sustaining multiple fractures in a crash at March's Dwars door Vlaanderen.

The 2024 Tour features seven mountain stages, including four summit finishes, and will suit the climbers. Pogačar (2020, 2021) and Vingegaard (2022) are past winners of the King of the Mountains' polka-dot jersey and are likely contenders once more.

Tour de France 2024 route and important stages

Also among the 21 stages of the 2024 Tour de France are two individual time trials and gravel sectors covering a total distance of 3,492km.

Starting from Florence, the 2024 Tour will complete three full stages in Italy traversing the Italian Alps before crossing the border into France from Pinerolo.

With no Alpe d'Huez or Mont Ventoux on this year's route, the Queen stage is the penultimate stage - a testing 132km cycle from Nice to the summit of the Col de la Couillole .

In recent years, the final individual time trial has been held on the penultimate day with the finale a procession on the Champs-Elysées on the Sunday. But, due to preparations for Paris 2024, this year's race will conclude with a 33.7km time trial from Monaco to Nice.

That means the yellow jersey could potentially be decided on the final day. The last time the Tour ended with a time trial was in 1989 when Greg Lemond overturned a 50-second deficit to Laurent Fignon to take victory by just eight seconds, still the smallest winning margin in race history.

2024 Tour de France: How to watch, schedule, odds for cycling's top race

The biggest cycling event of the year - the 111th Tour de France -- kicks off Saturday from Florence, Italy. The 2024 Tour de France's unusual route starts in Italy for the first time ever to honor 100 years since the first Italian victory in the Tour by Ottavio Bottecchia in 1924. Also, due to the 2024 Summer Olympics, the Tour de France will not finish in Paris for the first time in event history.

The 21 stages will cover more than 2,000 miles from Saturday through July 21. Two-time defending winner Jonas Vingegaard looks to become just the ninth cyclist to win at least three Tour de France races. Last year's runner-up, Tadej Pogačar, is looking to do the same. He won in 2020 and 2021 before finishing second to Vingegaard in 2022 and 2023.

Here's what you need to know about this year's race:

Tour de France 2024 start: Date, time and how to watch Grand Depart on TV

The Tour de France promises plenty of intriguing with a peloton packed with storylines battles across three weeks of racing.

For the first time, the Grand Tour will begin in Italy, with Florence hosting the Grand Depart and San Marino becoming the 14th country to be visited by a stage.

The finish to the race will look rather different, too, as a time trial in Nice replaces the traditional Champs-Elysees sprint due to the ongoing preparations for Paris 2024.

The individual time trial will be the first to conclude the Tour since 1989, when Greg LeMond memorably pipped Laurent Fignon in the closest edition in history.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the 2024 Tour de France.

When is the Tour de France?

The 2024 Tour de France will be held between June 29 and July 21 and consist of 21 stages, with two rest days included in the itinerary. The race will not finish in (or near) Paris for the first time since its inception as Nice is instead utilised — the French capital is out of action due to the Olympics later this summer.

Where is the Grand Depart?

The Grand Depart will be held in Italy for the first time, with Florence in Tuscany selected to begin the route. Stage 1 will finish in the coastal resort of Rimini, while the next three stages will also begin in Italy before the race crosses the border.

How long is the Tour?

In all, the peloton will cover 3,492km (2,170 miles) across 21 days of racing. Stage 3 (Piacenza to Turin) is the longest stage at 229km (142 miles), while the 133 km (83 miles) route on Stage 20 (Nice to Col de La Couillole) is the shortest road stage. There are two individual time trials: Stage 7 is 25km (16 miles), and the final stage from Monaco to Nice will be contested over 34km (21 miles).

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom will again have the choice of two broadcasters. ITV will provide free coverage on ITV4 and ITVX, while the Tour de France will also be available to subscribers on Eurosport and discovery+.

Eurosport’s coverage of the opening stage begins at 10.30am BST on Saturday 29 June, while ITV viewers can tune in from 10.45am.

If you’re travelling abroad and want to watch major sporting events, you might need a VPN to unblock your streaming app. Our VPN round-up is here to help and includes deals on VPNs in the market. Viewers using a VPN need to make sure that they comply with any local regulations where they are, and also with the terms of their service provider.

Who are the favourites for victory?

There are set to be four main contenders for general classification victory, though each of the quartet arrives with significant questions about their readiness for the year’s second Grand Tour. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) will seek a three-peat but has not raced since sustaining a broken collarborne and other injuries in a serious crash at the Tour of the Basque Country in April.

Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) were also injured in the incident, though the pair returned to racing at the recent Criterium du Dauphine as Roglic took overall victory.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) meanwhile enters attempting a Giro-Tour double having secured the maglia rosa in Italy earlier this year — no male rider has won both races in a single season this century.
