You'll be able to watch the Tour de France online, no matter where you go — so you can follow the titans of the tires. Stage 19 just completed, and saw Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) take the win in an amazing phtoo-finish.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch Tour de France from anywhere with a VPN , and potentially for FREE .

Tour de France continues through July 23 — full schedule below ► U.K. — ITVX (FREE) ► Australia — SBS on Demand (FREE) ►  U.S. — Peacock , NBC and USA Network ►  Watch anywhere — Try ExpressVPN 100% risk free

It's the biggest race of them all, but these days, the Tour de France means one thing: Tadej Pogačar vs Jonas Vingegaard. Between them the duo have won the last three editions of the race, with Vingegaard taking the 2022 race for Team Jumbo–Visma and Pogačar winning in 2020 and 2021.

In the most recent action, Vingegaard left Pogačar in the dust, gaining six minutes on his rival in the final climb. Pogačar called it "one of the worst days of my life on the bike."

Vingegaard is still in the lead, and fended off some anti-doping questions at the end of Stage 19. Two more stages remain, and Pogačar is still in second, with Adam Yates is in third.

Here's how to watch Tour de France live streams online, from anywhere.

If you live in the U.K., Australia, France, Italy, Spain or Belgium, then you can look forward to a FREE Tour de France live stream in 2023.

That's because the free-to-air ITV4 and its ITVX streaming service in the U.K., SBS and SBS on Demand streaming service in Australia, France.TV in France, Rai Play in Italy, Teledeporte in Spain, and RTBF in Belgium all have rights to the action. 

But what if you're based in one of those countries but aren't at home to catch that free Tour de France 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.

It's only natural that you might want to watch a Tour de France live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when the race is on?

Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch Tour de France live streams on ITVX , even though they're not in the U.K.

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN . It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. 

Safety, speed and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. It's also compatible with loads of devices and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you want to try it out.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice . As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a British service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITVX or another website and watch Tour de France.

How to watch the 2023 Tour de France - TV and live stream details for Jonas Vingegaard v Tadej Pogacar battle

Updated 11/07/2023 at 17:48 GMT

The Tour de France is alive! Here's how you can watch all the action unfold with Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar locked in another thrilling battle for the yellow jersey. Vingegaard is seeking to defend his title, while the Slovenian looking to win a third Tour crown. Mark Cavendish may have crashed out, but there are still plenty of intriguing storylines as we head into the second week.

How to watch Tour de France live stream — 2023 stages and schedule

The world’s greatest cycle race is underway!

Watch Tour de France: live streams

Watch tour de france 2023: preview.

This year’s Tour de France is less ‘La Grande Boucle’ (The Big Loop) and more a giant belt around the country’s waist. Riding west to east the ‘Grand Depart’ took place outside France for the second year in a row across the border in the Basque Country in northern Spain. Make sure you know how to watch a Tour de France free live stream from anywhere.

From here the race is headed west through the Pyrenees across legendary mountains such as the Col du Soudet and the mighty Col du Tourmalet before heading to the Massif Central and a return to the iconic Puy de Dome. Not climbed since 1988 this dormant volcano will provide a spectacular arena for the culmination of stage 9 and the end of the long first week.

Continuing west to The Jura mountains there is a summit finish on top of the Grand Colombier and then two days later another summit finish in the Alps at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc. With just one time trial on the route: a 22km mainly uphill test on stage 16. This is without doubt a race for the climbers whose battles will finish in the forested peaks of The Vosges on the slopes of the evil Col du Platzerwasel.

As for the contenders, the two main protagonists, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vinegaard (Jumbo-Visma) are on paper so far ahead of anyone else that the rest appear to be just support actors.

Vinegaard’s dominant display at the recent Critérium du Dauphiné, where he won at a canter, suggests he is in the same sparkling form that saw him take last year’s race but the condition of his great rival Pogačar is not so certain.

The Slovenian he hasn’t raced since he crashed in Liège-Bastogne-Liège on April 23, breaking his wrist. Until that point pretty much all he had to do was to start a race to win it. His return of 12 victories from 19 starts is remarkable in the modern age but having not raced for so long will he be back at his very best?

The final stage of the Tour is half procession and half eyeballs out racing up and down the cobbles of the Champs Elysée. What starts with photo opportunities and glasses of champagne ends with the most highly prized sprint stage in front of the thousands that line the route. Hitting the famous boulevard the peloton as is tradition was all together but not for long as the irrepressible Tadej Pogacar decided to shake things up and go out on the attack. 

Could he defy the might of the peloton and take the unlikeliest of victories? Also no, and he wasn’t the last to try and audacious attack before everything came back to gather for a final mass gallop to the line. All eyes were on Jasper Phillipsen, this year’s sprint king but just as it looked like he had got it, across surged Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) to take his first ever stage win, and what a stage to do it on. 

Yellow jersey wearer Jonas Vingegaard crossed the line a few seconds later flanked by his whole team, his second victory in two years confirmed, which in the end was a very comfortable one and looks likely to be the foundation of a period of total dominance. 

In the run up to the start of the race we'll be Take a more detailed look at the 2023 Tour de France teams , their key riders and objectives for the three weeks at the bottom of the page.

Tour de France teams and riders 2023

UAE Team Emirates

Cycling’s Galacticos. A team of leaders and winners all here to ride in service of one rider, the world’s current best, Tadej Pogacar. Beaten into second place last year after he cracked on the Col de Granon, ‘Pog’ will be out for revenge this year and it would take a brave man to bet against him taking his third title. 

RIDERS: Felix GROßSCHARTNER, Vegard Stake LAENGEN, Mikkel BJERG, Matteo TRENTIN, Tadej POGAČAR, Adam YATES, Marc SOLER and Rafał MAJKA

Israel–Premier Tech

NO CHRIS FROOME! That was the shock headline, but let’s be honest ONLY Chris Froome thought he was going to be on the start line. Micheal Woods and Dylan Teuns are the riders most likely to deliver but they will need the rub of the green to pull off a stage win, but dreams do come true at the Tour. 

RIDERS: Michael WOODS, Nick SCHULTZ, Corbin STRONG, Krists NEILANDS, Hugo HOULE, Guillaume BOIVIN, Simon CLARKE and Dylan TEUNS.

Lotto–Dstny

Once upon a time Lotto–Dstny could rely upon Victor Campenaerts to win from a solo break or Caleb Ewan to take a sprint stage but no longer. Although these scenarios are both still a possibility they will more likely be looking to younger members of their team to make it into a break and bring home a win for the Belgian team. 

RIDERS: Jacopo GUARNIERI, Frederik FRISON, Pascal EENKHOORN, Jasper DE BUYST, Victor CAMPENAERTS, Florian VERMEERSCH, Caleb EWAN, Maxim VAN GILS

Team TotalEnergies

Gone are the days when Peter Sagan just had to turn up to take the green points jersey such was his dominance, but even the brightest stars fade and in his last Tour it’s unfortunate that he will be little more than a footnote. Unless, that is there is one final bit of magic left in those legs and oh how the cycling fans would love to see that. 

RIDERS: Mathieu BURGAUDEAU, Edvald BOASSON HAGEN, Steff CRAS, Valentin FERRON, Pierre LATOUR, Daniel OSS, Peter SAGAN and Anthony TURGIS.

Uno-X Pro Cycling Team

Made up entirely of Danes and Norwegians this is the first Tour de France for Uno-X and led by their aging talisman the great Alexander Kristoff they will be keen to leave a mark on it. Young stars Søren Wærenskjold and Torstein Træen will also be keen to show that the Norwegian team are here on merit and justify their selection. 

RIDERS: Jonas ABRAHAMSEN, Jonas GREGAARD, Anthon CHARMIG, Søren WÆRENSKJOLD, Torstein TRÆEN, Alexander KRISTOFF, Rasmus TILLER and Tobias Halland JOHANNESSEN.

Alpecin–Deceuninck

In the recent Netflix Tour de France documentary series Jasper Philipsen was referred to as Alpecin–Deceuninck’s ‘Plan B’. This is no longer the case, he is well and truly ‘Plan A’ now, of course along with the ‘other Plan A’, the sensational Mathieu Van der Poel. A once in a generation rider who on his day can beat anyone at anything. 

RIDERS: Mathieu VAN DER POEL, Jasper PHILIPSEN, Jonas RICKAERT, Silvan DILLIER, Ramon SINKELDAM, Quinten HERMANS, Søren KRAGH ANDERSEN, Michael GOGL.

EF Education–EasyPost

EF Education–EasyPost have a team full of winners, each one capable of getting in a break and taking a stage it’s just deciding who will get the chance each day. I’m sure Rigoberto URÁN and Richard CARAPAZ have aspirations of a high finish in Paris but I suspect reality will bite when the manure hits the fan and they will get dropped like a hot stone. 

RIDERS: Alberto BETTIOL, Andrey AMADOR, Esteban CHAVES, Richard CARAPAZ, James SHAW, Magnus CORT, Rigoberto URÁN and Neilson POWLESS

Groupama–FDJ

This Tour is going to be Thibaut Pinot’s swan song, the darling of the French media came agonisingly close to winning the Tour but never delivered the victory the nation craves. He is on paper riding to support team leader David Gaudu but with a question mark the size of Paris hanging over the young French rider’s form maybe Pinot will be let off the leash for one last chance of glory before retirement. 

RIDERS: Quentin PACHER, Olivier LE GAC, Lars VAN DEN BERG, Stefan KÜNG, Kevin GENIETS, Thibaut PINOT, David GAUDU and Valentin MADOUAS.

Ineos Grenadiers

With uncertaintly over whether Egan Bernal will ever get back to his best after his near fatal crash in 2022 team Ineos turn up to the Tour not looking at the overall victory for probably the first time in 10 years. The priority will be hunting stages, unless that is the talented Tom Pidcock can get into the mix because we really do not yet know the limits of his abilities. 

RIDERS: BERNAL Egan, Ben TURNER, Omar FRAILE, Daniel Felipe MARTÍNEZ, Thomas PIDCOCK, Michał KWIATKOWSKI, Carlos RODRÍGUEZ and Jonathan CASTROVIEJO

Intermarché–Circus–Wanty

All eyes are on their star rider Biniam GIRMAY to see if he can deliver the first African stage win. He has already proved himself a champion but will have his work cut out in sprints to beat the other feast men. WIth the backing of a whole continent though this could inspire him to make history in this year’s event. 

RIDERS: Dion SMITH, Biniam GIRMAY, Louis MEINTJES, Mike TEUNISSEN, Adrien PETIT, Georg ZIMMERMANN, Rui COSTA and Lilian CALMEJANE.

Lidl - Trek 

The young Mattias Skjelmose could be in the hunt for the third step on the podium if he still has the form he shown at the Tour de Suisse this but it’s likely Lidl - Trek will find the most success hunting stages. Led by their former world champion Mads Pedersen they also have a very good hand of cards to play whether it be Skjelmose or Ciccone in the hight mountains or Pedersen, Simmons and Stuyven on tough lumpy stages. 

RIDERS: Tony GALLOPIN, Giulio CICCONE, Quinn SIMMONS, Mattias SKJELMOSE, Juan Pedro LÓPEZ, Alex KIRSCH, Jasper STUYVEN and Mads PEDERSEN

Movistar Team

Movistar will be hoping Enric Mas is at his very best as he will need to be if he wants to try and challenge Pogacar and Vingegaard. He did show signs of very good form earlier in the year but has since gone off the boil a bit.

RIDERS: Antonio PEDRERO, Gregor MÜHLBERGER, Alex ARANBURU, Gorka IZAGIRRE, Matteo JORGENSON, Nelson OLIVEIRA, Ruben GUERREIRO and Enric MAS.

Soudal–Quick-Step

With Remco Evenepole rested, Soudal–Quick-Step don’t have a rider for the general classification so their main focus will be to deliver Fabio Jakobsen to the front on sprint days and hope the mercurial Julian Alaphilippe can re-find the form that once made him the most exciting rider on the planet.

RIDERS: Andrea BAGIOLI, Fabio JAKOBSEN, Julian ALAPHILIPPE, Rémi CAVAGNA, Yves LAMPAERT, Mauri VANSEVENANT, Florian SÉNÉCHAL and Michael MØRKØV.

Team Bahrain Victorious

With newly crowned British champion Fred Wright and the ever-aggressive Matej Mohoric leading their hunt for stages, and Jack Haig aiming to get in the mix for the overall, Bahrain Victorious have many cards to play.

RIDERS: Jack HAIG, Phil BAUHAUS, Nikias ARNDT, Wout POELS, Pello BILBAO, Matej MOHORIČ, Mikel LANDA and Fred WRIGHT.

Team DSM–Firmenich

Once again the French will be dreaming of Romain Bardet stood on the top step of the podium in Paris but, alas, I’m afraid it’s very unlikely this will happen. Expect him to shine in the mountain stages and if he is VERY lucky he could get a win but the best he can really hope for is a top 10 finish.

RIDERS: Chris HAMILTON, Alex EDMONDSON, Kevin VERMAERKE, John DEGENKOLB, Sam WELSFORD, Matthew DINHAM, Romain BARDET and Nils EEKHOFF.

Team Jayco–AlUla

Team Jayco–AlUla take a two pronged attack to the Tour with Dylan Groenewegen favorite for the sprint stages and Simon Yates hoping to be in the mix for a very high finish in Paris.

RIDERS: Christopher JUUL-JENSEN, Elmar REINDERS, Chris HARPER, Luke DURBRIDGE, Lawson CRADDOCK, Dylan GROENEWEGEN, Simon YATES and Luka MEZGEC.

Team Jumbo–Visma

Jumbo Visma have an embarrassment of riches, a team stacked with world class winners, all of whom are there with the sole aim of ensuring Jonas Vingegaard takes his second win after last year's success. Their main problem, like last year, will be keeping their talent in check and ensuring they play the team game and don’t go rogue.

RIDERS: Wilco KELDERMAN, Christophe LAPORTE, Tiesj BENOOT, Wout VAN AERT, Dylan VAN BAARLE, Nathan VAN HOOYDONCK, Sepp KUSS and Jonas VINGEGAARD. 

AG2R Citroën Team

AG2R will be throwing all their weight behind their star rider, the Australian Ben O’Connor. Fourth in the 2021 Tour de France and third in this year’s Criterium du Dauphine, he will fancy his chances of being in the mix for a very high placed finish.

RIDERS: Ben O’CONNOR, Nans PETERS, Oliver NAESEN, Benoît COSNEFROY, Aurélien PARET-PEINTRE, Felix GALL, Clément BERTHET and Stan DEWULF.

Arkéa–Samsic

Arkéa–Samsic’s best hope of a successful Tour will be somehow getting a win from a breakaway with French favorite Warren Barguil their best hope of delivering this goal.

RIDERS: Laurent PICHON, Simon GUGLIELMI, Jenthe BIERMANS, Warren BARGUIL, Luca MOZZATO, Clément CHAMPOUSSIN, Anthony DELAPLACE and Matis LOUVEL.

Astana Qazaqstan Team

Alexey Luttsenko is Astana’s best hope for the overall classification but even the most optimistic fan won’t really believe he has a chance of victory. The main goal for the team, from a British perspective that is, is for Mark Cavendish to win his prized 35th stage.

RIDERS: Harold TEJADA, Gianni MOSCON, Alexey LUTSENKO, Yevgeniy FEDOROV, Mark CAVENDISH, Cees BOL, David DE LA CRUZ and Luis León SÁNCHEZ.

Bora–Hansgrohe

Jai Hindley, the 2022 Giro d’Italia winner should be well in the mix for a spot on the podium but he is still a way off the level needed to compete for the win. Stranger things have happened though so keep an eye on the young Aussie.

RIDERS: Marco HALLER, Patrick KONRAD, Bob JUNGELS, Jordi MEEUS , Emanuel BUCHMANN, Jai HINDLEY, Danny VAN POPPEL and Nils POLITT.

Much like Arkéa–Samsic, Cofids’ hopes lie in a win from a break with seasoned winners. Ion Izagirre, Guillaume Martin and Simon Geschke lead their charge. Also watch out for their sprinter Bryan Coquard who, on his day, if everything fell into place, could upset the bigger sprint names.

RIDERS: Alexis RENARD, Simon GESCHKE, Axel ZINGLE, Anthony PEREZ, Victor LAFAY, Bryan COQUARD, Ion IZAGIRRE and Guillaume MARTIN.

How to Watch the Tour de France

The world’s greatest cyclists journey across France in the biggest race of the year and Peacock is the only place to see it all.

It’s time for cycling’s most anticipated event of the year. The Tour de France brings the best professional cyclists in the world together for a three-week cross-country race. The route is different every year, but the destination remains the same: A grand finish on Paris’ Champs-Elysées. No other competition is quite like it. Even if you don’t normally follow professional cycling, you’ll find yourself drawn in, captivated by the 21-day drama on display. If you want to see it all, there’s one place you need to be. 

What Is the Tour de France? 

The Tour de France is a massive bike race that takes cyclists on a three-week journey through France. With the exact route changing every year, this is a unique challenge unlike anything else on the cycling calendar. The race is broken up into stages, with each day covering a certain portion of the route. Each stage has its own winner, and the winner of the entire event is the person who has the fastest time of all 21 stages. Every stage matters. Even winning one, even if the rider doesn’t win the tournament, will boost that rider’s standing significantly. Only the absolute best, most competitive riders make it to the Tour de France, so tensions are high for the entire three-week race. 

This year’s event will take 176 riders through 3,404 km of road, hill, and mountain terrain. Multiple stages will force cyclists to climb for more than an hour straight. It’s a tough route that encourages athletes to take risks to get ahead. This year’s edition of the Tour de France is sure to be the most memorable yet. 

When Can I Watch Each Stage of the Tour de France 

If you want to see it all live, you’ll have to set an alarm. Each stage starts early in the morning for those of us in the U.S. Check out the schedule below.

Where can I watch the Tour de France? 

The Grand Départ will be LIVE on both NBC and Peacock. After that, most stages will be exclusive to Peacock, but some will also be broadcast on USA. If you want to see every stage, including the finale on the Champs Elysées in Paris, you’ll want to make sure you have Peacock. 

Stage 1: NBC and Peacock 

Stage 2: Exclusively on Peacock 

Stages 3-7: USA and Peacock 

Stages 8-21: Exclusively on Peacock 

Can I Watch a Stage Later if I Can’t Catch it Live? 

Yes! In addition to full live coverage, Peacock will have full replays available of every stage of the Tour de France. You’ll also be able to stream highlights, recaps, interviews, and much more. Every replay will be available after the conclusion of each stage so you never have to miss a moment. The Tour de France is the most dramatic race on the calendar, so Peacock is making sure you get to see it all. 

Which Cyclists Should I Look Out For? 

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard is definitely one to watch. He’s an absolute phenom and there’s absolutely a possibility of him repeating this year. He’s not the only favorite though. Tadej Pogacar, who won the Tour in 2020 and 2021, will likely fight for the top spot the whole way through. The battle between these two is one of the most-anticipated elements of this year’s race. 

Australian cyclists Ben O’Connor and Jai Hindley could also make some noise, as could France’s David Gaudu and Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz. They could even pose a threat to the top two favorites if things break their way. Cycling is a fickle and unpredictable sport, after all. There are also a few American cyclists worth paying attention to, particularly Matteo Jorgenson and Neilson Powless. Even if they don’t win the whole thing, or even podium, they have a definite shot at securing some stage wins. That alone is a career highlight for pro cyclists. 

There is no race quite like the Tour de France. It’s long, dramatic, and a true test of endurance. Emotions run high for the entire three weeks, making for the most thrilling race of the year. Get Peacock now to see it all.

2022 Tour de France live stream and how to watch the cycling for free – Stage 19: Castelnau-Magnoac to Cahors

Watch every stage of the 109th Tour de France on TV, online and from wherever you are. Allez!

The 2022 Tour de France continues today with Stage 19 – a 188.5km downhill run from Castelnau-Magnoac to Cahors that could prove to be Tadej Pogacar's last chance for a breakaway stage win. The Slovenian is on the ropes having been dropped by race leader Jonas Vingegaard in yesterday's crucial stage 18. Is it over for Pogacar? Can Vingegaard seal victory? Viewers can watch every stage free on ITV4, so make sure you how to watch a free Tour de France live stream from wherever you are.

There are just a handful of days of racing left to run and despite a triumphant victory, it looks like double-defending champion Pogačar might have to settle for second place. Even a crash last weekend wasn't enough to knock Vingegaard off his perch.

Every attack that the Slovenian tried yesterday and on the last few days in the Alps, the Dane was more than able to match and, with the UAE Team Emirates riders thinned out through covid, it's hard to see too much changing. But you simply can't discount Pogačar and you can bet your bottom dollar that he's going to keep trying. Keep your eyes on today's Stage 19 – Castelnau-Magnoac to Cahors – which could be his last chance to turn this around.

With Wout van Aert now pretty much nailed on as the points champion, and Geraint Thomas now out of the running, the sprinters are the ones to watch over the next few days. It's a tight one with the polka dot jersey still up for grabs.

How to watch the Tour de France live stream 2024

All the information you need in order to tune into the biggest race of the year

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

The wait is nearly over for the biggest bike race of the year, the Tour de France 2024 . Like us, you'll probably be wanting to tune in and watch, so we've put together a comprehensive guide to exactly how you can watch everything from live coverage to highlights of this iconic Grand Tour.

It should be an exciting battle for overall victory, with four potential winners all vying for the maillot jaune. Reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike), Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) and Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) are the men most likely, although newly-anointed Giro d'Italia champion Pogačar is the only rider to have come through the early season unscathed. The other three have missed training time after tangling with each other in the same crash in Itzulia Basque Country in April.

Vingegaard was the worst affected , and in early June there was still a question mark over whether he would definitely be at the Tour de France.

There are plenty of sprinting opportunities scattered throughout the race. Last year's green jersey Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) will be the man to beat, pushed hard others including Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) and Fabio Jakobsen (dsm-firmenich-PostNL). Many eyes will also be on Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan), who returns for his last Tour de France in the hope of finally beating the all-time 35-stage-win record that he is currently tied on with Eddy Merckx.

The final stage sees the race make way for the Paris Olympic Games and finish outside the capital for the first time in history, with a time trial from Monaco to Nice.

When is the Tour de France? 

The Tour de France will begin in Florence on June 29, and finish three weeks later on July 21 in Nice. Individual stages will be broadcast in full on Discovery+ .

How To Watch the Tour de France in 2023

Cheer on your favorite riders and teams as the Tour de France comes to NBC, USA Network, and Peacock this July.

Edited By Aaron Gates

Share | Dec 26, 2023

The Tour de France pedals onto TV every July—showcasing the world’s greatest road cyclists. As in recent seasons, NBC Sports will broadcast this year’s event across NBC , USA Network, 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 the Tour de France in 2023—including the complete schedule with channel listings.

What channel shows the Tour de France?

You can watch the Tour de France on NBC , USA Network, and Peacock . You’ll get the most live coverage from Peacock, which streams every stage and the daily Tour de France Pre-Race Show . USA Network shows a mix of live and encore coverage, while NBC carries select portions of the race—primarily an encore of the final stage in Paris.

Pro tip: To heighten your Tour de France viewing experience, download the official Tour de France mobile app on your Android or iOS device. The app comes with course maps, real-time stats, and live commentary.

2023 Tour de France schedule

This year’s Tour de France begins on July 1 in Spain before crossing into France on the third 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 the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris on July 23.

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

2023 Tour de France Femmes schedule

Just as the men’s tour wraps up in Paris, the Tour de France Femmes takes off from Clermont-Ferrand. This is the second edition of the women’s race and features an eight-day route ending with an individual time trial in Pau.

Data effective as of post date.

Best TV plans for watching the Tour de France

A Peacock subscription is the best way to watch the Tour de France. Starting at $4.99 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.

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

Which TV providers carry the Tour de France

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

How to watch the Tour de France for free

*CableTV.com utilizes paid Amazon links. Amazon.com Price; $47.99 (as of 5/3/23 11:30 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—mostly encore presentations of early and late stages. 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.

Pro tip: To make up for every stage NBC doesn’t air, you can stream free race recaps on NBC Sports’ YouTube channel .

The 110th Tour de France will stream on Peacock and air on NBC and USA Network throughout July 2023. Peacock offers the best way to watch Le Tour because it streams every stage from beginning to end. It also carries the entire women’s race, which begins the same day as the men’s competition ends.

If you’re a cycling fan without access to fast and reliable internet, most cable and satellite TV services have NBC and USA Network. Those channels don’t show as much Tour de France coverage as Peacock, but you’ll still see the most vital moments of the race.

How to watch the Tour de France FAQ

Can you watch the tour de france on nbc.

Yes, some Tour de France coverage airs on NBC. But you’ll want a Peacock Premium subscription to watch every stage from start to finish.

How can I watch today’s Tour de France stage?

If today’s date is between July 1 and July 23, you can watch the current Tour de France stage live and on demand via Peacock . Check out our complete Tour de France 2023 schedule for race start times and channel listings.

Is every cycling Grand Tour race on NBC?

No, not every race in the Grand Tour of Cycling airs on NBC. While NBC Sports channels and platforms televise the Tour de France and Vuelta a España, the Giro d’Italia streams on Max’s  B/R Sports Add-On .

What cycling events are on Peacock?

Popular cycling events featured on Peacock include the Tour de France, Vuelta a España , and Olympic cycling . Other major UCI World Tour races like the Giro d’Italia, Milan–San Remo, and Tour of Flanders stream on services like FloBikes and Max’s B/R Sports Add-On .

Why you should trust us

Our sports experts researched and tested the best ways to watch this year’s Tour de France. We examined which channels and platforms carry each Tour de France stage, then determined our viewing recommendations based on race coverage, pricing, and ease of use.

How to watch French Open live stream for free from anywhere

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

The best tennis players from the ATP and WTA tours are now in the quarter-final stage at Roland-Garros in Paris. With so many great matches lined up this week, this is an opportune time for us to show you how to watch a free French Open live stream, from anywhere. 

Iga Swiatek might have been a point away from being knocked out by Osaka in round two, but she's barely dropped a set since and has just wiped out Vondrousova, the Wimbledon champion, 6-0, 6-2. She'll face Coco Gauff in the semis on Thursday. Sabalenka is undoubtedly one to watch if she makes it past the only non-seeded player left in the competition, the young Andreeva. 

Over in the men's game, Djokovic's reign at Rolan Garos is over as he's just pulled out due to a knee injury, meaning Ruud automatically advances to the semi-finals. Carlos Alcaraz has made short work of most opponents so far and will be facing better odds now. Sinner and Zverev will be keen to gatecrash the final instead, and both are in great form. 

Since this is a Grand Slam, coverage is abundant throughout several countries. We'll show you how to tune in from anywhere via free live streams. It's a little more complicated in the US than standard tennis tournaments, so we've broken down everything you need to know about tuning in, including how to use a VPN to watch the Australian, Austrian, or French coverage for free from any country.

How to watch the French Open in the US

The French Open is airing across NBC, Peacock, and the Tennis Channel. Coverage will be shown on the Tennis Channel from 5 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET for the rest of this week's games. Then, on Saturday, we start with the Tennis Channel until 1 p.m. ET, but coverage will also be on NBC from 12-3 p.m. ET, and Peacock also has some action from 12:-5:30 p.m. ET. Saturday's schedule of channels is the same as Sunday's, too.

So you will only ever need NBC, Peacock, and the Tennis Channel to watch the entire competition in the US. Fortunately for cord-cutters, you'll only need to invest in two streaming services to get in on all the action. Sling TV , with the help of an add-on, should be able to get you access to NBC and the Tennis Channel. You'll need to select a Sling Blue base plan for NBC (although you should always double-check to ensure it's available in your area) and then select the Sports Extra add-on for the Tennis Channel. Sling Blue costs $40 a month, and Sports Extra costs $11 a month, so you'll pay $51 a month for this service. 

For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you're looking for. It's more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members get their first month for $20 off.

Peacock costs $5.99 a month and will carry select coverage. The service is NBC's streaming counterpart and carries several live sporting events, including comprehensive Olympics coverage.

Peacock is a convenient streaming source for hit NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. Prices start at just $6 a month, with additional discounts on annual plans.

How to watch the French Open in Australia

The French Open live streams on 9Now in Australia. This free English-language streaming option only requires an account creation. Coverage is excellent on this network, which makes it a great pairing for a VPN if you're not in Australia right now but would like to keep watching. A VPN is also much cheaper than the US streaming services mentioned earlier.

9Now doesn't carry every match, but the deeper we get into the tournament, you can expect the big matches to be shown here. If you want total access, you'll have to fork out for a Stan subscription, plus the Sports add-on.

If you'd prefer French or German commentary, there are also free French Open live streams in those countries, as detailed below.

How to watch the French Open in France

In France, the French Open will live stream for free on France TV . You just need to create an account, and then you'll be ready to watch. Match selection is limited to a few courts at once, but expect the big names to appear regularly.

How to watch the French Open in Austria

Servus TV is the Austrian home of French Open coverage. These live streams are free, and the service requires no log-in or account creation. Servus also has every other F1 race throughout the season (ORF1, also free, has the others and is also accessible from overseas via a VPN).

How to watch the French Open from anywhere

If you're outside any of the above countries during the competition and still want to access the streaming options, you can use a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy ways to temporarily change your device's virtual location so that you can access your usual websites from anywhere. They're popular options for people looking to upgrade their online privacy and keep up with their apps while traveling abroad.

Our go-to VPN recommendation is ExpressVPN . It's an easy-to-use option with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for additional information and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.

With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that makes it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.

How to watch the French Open with a VPN

• Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
• Install it on the device you're planning to watch on.
• Turn it on and set it to a French, Australian, or Austrian location.
• Navigate to the correct website and create an account if necessary.
• Enjoy the competition.

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

Here’s a recent AP story on the French Open:

GENEVA (AP) — Novak Djokovic will defend his French Open title in Paris still without a trophy this season after losing in the Geneva Open semifinals on Friday.

The 44th-ranked Tomas Machac beat Djokovic 6-4, 0-6, 6-1 in the last clay-court event to prepare for Roland Garros, where main draw play starts on Sunday.

“Of course I am worried. I haven’t been playing good at all this year,” Djokovic said.

His record in 2024 dropped to 14-6 overall and 0-3 in semifinals, including at the Australian Open against Jannik Sinner.

“I don’t consider myself a favorite there,” the top-ranked Serb said of his chances at Roland Garros, where he’s won two of the past three titles and three overall among his men’s record 24 Grand Slam singles titles. “I’m going to take it match by match and see how far I can go.”

Machac took his first match-point chance which came on Djokovic’s serve, and clinched when Djokovic pushed a backhand long.

It was the fifth time Djokovic had his service broken and he also made 27 unforced errors.

“If you play against Novak you just hope and try to play your best and see how it looks,” Machac said in an on-court interview.

Djokovic warmly greeted the Czech at the net, and smiled as he walked off court, applauding the fans.

Djokovic took a medical timeout after the first set for a stomach issue.

“It was a terrible feeling with stomach and health today. It was not a great night and today as well,” he said. “I don’t want to take anything away from his win, he deserved it.”

Machac will play his first tour final on Saturday against two-time Geneva champion Casper Ruud, the French Open runner-up for the past two years, or the unseeded Flavio Cobolli. Their semifinal did not start on time because of a lengthy rain delay.
