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 .

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.

Free Tour de France live stream: How to watch the stage 21 Paris finale from anywhere

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

Looking for a free Tour de France live stream for the final day? Plenty of options are available for coverage with English, Spanish, Italian, and French commentary. And if your country doesn't have coverage or is putting it behind a paywall, we can show how to watch the Tour de France for free via a VPN (virtual private network) .

You can find all the international streaming links below. If you're outside those countries, you must use a VPN to mimic their location to watch like a local. We'll show you how in a few simple steps further down this page. Better yet, a VPN will unlock other sporting action, like the events below, and dramatically improve your online privacy across digital devices.

Today's procession race event, stage 21, sets off from Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines for a relatively short 115 km journey to Paris and the famous Champs-Élysées finish line. With the shorter nature of the route, expect a much later start than any other stage of this year's tour as riders will set off at 4:30 p.m. local time and arrive in Paris three hours later. Jonas Vingegaard will be leading the way, unchallenged in the yellow jersey after finishing yesterday's stage, and the competitive part of the Tour de France, with an overall lead of nearly seven and a half minutes.

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 Tour de France in the USA

The best option for US viewers is Peacock, which has shown every live stage of the Tour de France. NBC and USA Network will have coverage on some days, with replays of some events showing much later. The cable TV coverage seems to bit a little hit-and-miss, especially after the first week, so we'd stick with Peacock .

It's not free, but as streaming services go, $4.99 is a reasonable amount per month, and you can always drop it before the month's end, as the Tour concludes in Paris on July 23. Check out the other options on this page if you want a free live stream, including English commentary versions from the UK or Australia. 

free tour de france stream

Peacock is a streaming service featuring NBCUniversal TV shows, movies, original series, live sports, and news programs. Prices start at just $5.99 a month on one-month deals, with further discounts available on annual plans.

Watch Tour de France live stream for free from anywhere

Tour de France live stream is showing free in multiple countries this year. In most cases, you will have to create a login and sign in to watch the Tour de France online (except for the Italian and Spanish sites), but it's all for free. These channels will also upload coverage to watch on-demand after the race finishes, and there will be also highlight shows. So if you're not free during the race, you can still catch up later in full if you wish.

  • Watch at: ITVX (UK) |  France.TV | RAI Sport (Italy) | SBS (Australia) | RTBF (Belgium) | RTVE Play (Spain)

If you're not located in one of those countries with a free Tour de France live stream, you must tune in via a VPN to see these live or on-demand broadcasts. Our preferred option of all the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN , which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied.

How to watch Tour de France with a VPN

  • Sign up for a VPN if you don't have one.
  • Install it on the device you're using to watch the race.
  • Turn it on and set it to the location of the streaming service, as indicated below.
  • Go to ITVX (UK) |  France.TV | RAI Sport (Italy) | SBS (Australia) | RTBF (Belgium) | RTVE Play (Spain)
  • Create a free login and sign in (RAI/RTVE don't require one).
  • Watch Tour de France for free.

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.

' src=

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 .

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!

adej Pogačar of Slovenia and UAE-Team Emirates logo at the Tour de france

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.

Date: 1st July – 24th July 2022

FREE stream: ITV4 (UK)

Watch anywhere: Try ExpressVPN risk-free

US stream: Peacock ($4.99/month)

AUS stream: SBS (free)

CAN stream: FloBikes ($12.50/month)

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.

Allez, allez, allez! Make sure you know how to watch a free 2022 Tour de France live stream from where you are with a VPN. Instructions just below.

Tour de France 2023: How to Watch a Free Livestream

Your guide to watching the 110th edition of the world's most famous bike race, including all the teams, stages and full schedule.

free tour de france stream

Three grueling weeks of calf-destroying climbs and tense sprints await the world's best riders as the 110th Tour de France gets underway this weekend.

Kicking off with the Grand Départ, which takes place this year in Bilbao, Spain, the route makes its way across Basque Country before heading up the Pyrenees, across the Massif Central and eventually concluding on the cheering streets of Paris.

This year's tour is once again being billed as a rematch between defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (on the Jumbo-Visma team) and two-time winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) as the great rivals go head-to-head for the third year in a row. 

Pogačar is battling back from a broken wrist sustained two months ago, while last year's Giro d'Italia champion Jai Hindley and Ineos Grenadiers star Egan Bernal will both be looking to wrestle away the iconic yellow jersey. 

Veteran British sprinter Mark Cavendish will be attempting to claim the record for most Tour stage wins, with the Astana Qazaqstan ace currently level with Belgian legend Eddy Merckx on 34.

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 2023: Where and when is it?

The Tour de France begins with Stage 1 in Bilbao on Saturday, July 1, and ends with its traditional passage along the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Sunday July 23.

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

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 game 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 Australia, 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.

Quick tips for streaming Tour de France 2023 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 .

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.

Cyclists pass the Arc du Triomphe in the Tour de France

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. 

July 1 at 6:30a ET: Stage 1 – Bilbao

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.

Chris Bluvshtein

  • The 2023 Tour de France runs from  July 1, 2023 to  July 23, 2023 .
  • You can watch the entire multi-stage bicycle race for free with a VPN.

Broadcaster ITV, in the United Kingdom, will be streaming the 2023 Tour de France live for free. Below, we’ll show you how you can use a VPN to watch.

  • Get Surfshark .
  • Connect to a U.K. VPN server to change your IP address.
  • Go to ITV4 to stream the Tour de France live. You’ll need to create a free account, which you can set up with an email account.

With Surfshark, you stand the greatest chance of  bypassing ITV’s geo-blocks , which prevent international access. But if you need alternative options, we’ve listed a number of other free and paid Tour de France 2023 streams in our full article below.

The 110th Tour de France begins on Saturday, July 1, 2023 . Comprising twenty-one stages, cyclers hit the final stage on Sunday, July 23 . This is followed by the Tour de France Femmes from July 1 – July 30.

Riders will largely be tackling France’s mountainous regions , crossing the Basque Country and Pyrenees, before heading to the Alps, Vosges, and Jura.

Looking for a 2023 Tour de France live stream? We’ve tested the best options and found one that comes out on top — we’ll show you how to watch the Tour de France for free using ITV’s live coverage. Just check out our guide below!

How to Watch the 2023 Tour de France for Free From Anywhere

Online streaming service on a laptop with a VPN

Want to watch the 2023 Tour de France online but can’t access a stream? Maybe you’re temporarily out of the country and can’t find a broadcaster in your region.

There’s a simple solution that’ll let you access free Tour de France streams.

We’ve tested this process, and it has worked seamlessly for our team at VPNOverview. Simply sign up for Surfshark VPN (you can use their 30-day money-back guarantee ), then connect to a server in the United Kingdom.

Once you’re connected, you’ll be able to bypass ITV’s geo-restrictions and watch the Tour de France 2023 from anywhere in the world!

Step-By-Step Guide: Watch the 2023 Tour de France From Anywhere For Free

Streaming sports online doesn’t need to be a hassle. You can watch the 2023 Tour de France from anywhere as long as you’re using a VPN . Follow our step-by-step guide to get free access to a Tour de France 2023 stream in minutes — we’ve tested it ourselves, and it works flawlessly.

Surfshark

Save 85% and pay only $ 2.29 a month!

  • Very user-friendly and works with Netflix and torrents
  • 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked!
  • Cheap with many extra options

Devices supported by Surfshark as shown on their website

Alternate 2023 Tour de France Live Streams

ITV isn’t the only place to catch the Tour de France 2023, but it’s one of the easiest ways to watch. We recommend ITV for its high-quality and stable streams — but also because it’s free and in English!

Other broadcasters offer Tour de France streams in different regions around the world. Some are free, some have free trials, and others require you to pay.

If, for any reason, ITV doesn’t work, Sling TV is another excellent streaming service. We use Sling TV for lots of our U.S.-based sports streaming — it’s inexpensive, offers high-quality streams, and works with a US IP address from Surfshark.

The Best VPN to Watch Tour de France 2023

We’ve tested more than ten different VPN providers to determine the best VPN for 2023 Tour de France streams. Depending on the platform you choose to watch with, you’ll need access to VPN servers worldwide. Surfshark’s our top choice.

1. Surfshark: High-speed, low-cost VPN for watching Tour de France 2023 online

Screenshot of Surfshark homepage

Surfshark came out on top in our Tour de France test circuit. With this VPN, you can easily pick from numerous United Kingdom VPN servers and watch the Tour de France via ITV’s website. It also works with Sling TV and all the other US-based streamers we’ve listed above.

Thanks to Surfshark’s high-speed, quality servers, you can quickly unblock free sports streams worldwide. As well as the Tour de France, Surfshark will let you watch Vuelta a España , Le Mans 24, the Europa League, and other international events.

These are just a few of the reasons why Surfshark routinely ranks highly in our best VPN rankings. But there’s more to love:

  • Inexpensive : Surfshark is one of the cheapest ways to get a premium VPN.
  • Unlimited device installations : Enjoy Tour de France streams on desktop, mobile, or your smart TV.
  • 30-day money-back guarantee : Surfshark’s money-back guarantee effectively means you can watch the Tour de France for free.

Check out our full Surfshark review for more information on this VPN and why it scores so highly in our books.

2. NordVPN: Excellent unblocking and speeds for international sports streaming

Screenshot of NordVPN website homepage, with added logo in the corner, May 2023

If you’re accessing websites in other countries, you want to do so safely. That’s why NordVPN is our second choice for Tour de France 2023 streams .

Like Surfshark, it’ll give you a stable, uninterrupted connection that won’t lag out when the cyclists are neck and neck on the finish line. Just find a United Kingdom VPN server to access ITV. With NordVPN, we could also unblock Sling TV, Fubo TV, and YouTube TV , in case you need backup options.

NordVPN also gets you:

  • Performance : NordVPN is consistently one of the fastest VPNs we test in our regular speed test circuits.
  • Multiple simultaneous connections : Hook up as many as 6 devices under one subscription, letting the whole family live stream the Tour de France.
  • Security and privacy : We rarely come across a VPN service as robust for security as NordVPN, with its no-logs policy and advanced security settings.

NordVPN

Save big with up to 58% off a two-year subscription!

  • Fast and large worldwide network of VPN servers
  • Perfect for privacy and streaming
  • Trusted by many, with over 14 million users

You can get more information on this service’s stellar performance and feature set in our full NordVPN review .

3. CyberGhost VPN: Optimized servers for Tour de France live streams

Screenshot of CyberGhost homepage, June 2023

Our last recommendation for you is CyberGhost — particularly if you’re on a tetchy internet connection. CyberGhost’s dedicated streaming servers could give you the edge if your internet isn’t the strongest, ensuring a smooth Tour de France stream.

When we tested CyberGhost with ITV, we were able to connect to a U.K. VPN server within seconds and watch ITV. Moving across to the U.S., we quickly bypassed Sling TV, Fubo TV, and Hulu’s geo-blocks, too.

Aside from dedicated streaming options, CyberGhost impressed us in other areas:

  • Global server locations : CyberGhost has a massive 781 VPN servers in the United Kingdom, plus thousands worldwide.
  • Cost : While it’s not as cheap as Surfshark, we can recommend CyberGhost as another cost-effective option.
  • 45-day money-back guarantee : You won’t find a premium VPN with as long a money-back guarantee as CyberGhost.

CyberGhost

Save 84% and get CyberGhost for just $ 2.03 per month!

  • Very user-friendly
  • High quality for a low price
  • Torrents and Netflix possible

Our CyberGhost review goes into much greater detail on the features that earned this VPN a high review score.

How to Choose the Best VPN to Watch the Tour de France 2023

Streaming sports calls for a specific VPN service. We know that the key areas to focus on are speed, server availability, and the ability to bypass geo-blocks. Below, we’ve explained our approach in a little more detail.

Three important VPN aspects to consider when choosing a VPN to watch the Tour de France

We put speed right at the top in terms of importance when choosing a Tour de France VPN. Slow VPNs can cause lag, which can halt your stream . You could be staring at a buffering wheel right as the racers reach the finish line. Free and subpar VPNs largely won’t work for streaming sports — most have data limits and slower streaming and connection speeds.

Server choice

Server choice comes second, as you need a good spread of options. Our Tour de France streams straddle multiple countries, and you need a VPN in the same country as the broadcaster to unblock the website. For example, you’ll have to connect to a U.S. VPN server to watch the 2023 Tour de France with Sling TV, a Dutch server for NOS and U.K. for ITV. You need a VPN with a server network that can handle the task.

Unblocking abilities

Last, but by no means least, is the VPN’s ability to unblock websites. Some streaming platforms have wised up to VPN usage, and they’ll block you regardless. Surfshark VPN is one of the best VPNs for bypassing geo-blocks — thanks in part to its NoBorders mode and option to get a dedicated IP address .

Full Tour de France Schedule 2023

If you’re looking for the Tour de France schedule , you’ve found it – we’ve detailed key dates below. The official route of the Tour de France 2023 covers a lot of ground.

A Wrap Up: Stream the 2023 Tour de France Online

Icon representing VPN shield as hologram

The 2023 Tour de France isn’t as varied as some of the previous years’ events. Riders will spend most of July crossing from one mountain range to the next . We hope that nobody’s been skipping leg day.

Starting in the Basque Country , the first stage on July 1 will see competitors tackling steep climbs that descend into a flat dash to the finish line in Bilbao. Make sure you’re tuned in for the final sprint by getting your VPN set up and finding a Tour de France stream in advance.

If you want to watch the Tour de France 2023 free online, simply:

  • Sign up for Surfshark and install the software.
  • Find a UK VPN server and start a connection.
  • Connect to ITV’s website and find a Tour de France 2023 stream.
  • Sink into your couch and watch Tour de France!

These handy systems are 'Virtual Private Networks', and enable you to appear online as if you are somewhere else entirely. This method gives you a way to get around any geographical restrictions, so you can access all of your favourite streaming services just as if you were at home. We'd argue that ExpressVPN is the best VPN to go with, and is perfect for a Tour de France live stream.

There are three simple steps to follow:

1: Get a VPN installed. There are plenty of options, but we'd point you in the direction of ExpressVPN. There's even an offer on right now where you can get an additional three months FREE on a 12-month package and save 49% . Happily, ExpressVPN is also compatible with pretty much every device you can think of too.

2: Connect to an appropriate server. Select a server located back in your home country and you'll be in and away. And if there's any sniff of an issue, Express's handy 24/7 live chat customer support can come to your rescue.

3: Head over to the service you want. Here you can shop as normal and once you set your location, visit the service you're interested in and sign up as normal or log in, and start watching!

How to watch Giro d'Italia 2024: live stream cycling online

It's up to Geraint Thomas to take the fight to Tadej Pogacar

Geraint Thomas crosses the line in the pink jersey at the Giro d'Italia

  • Watch FREE streams
  • Unblock any stream
  • Schedule and start times

This may be Tadej Pogacar's (UAE Team Emirates) first ever crack at the Giro d'Italia, but he's in such menacing form that if he doesn't ride off in the maglia rosa it will be a surprise. It's worth remembering, however, that the Slovenian last won a grand tour three years ago, and if there's a formula for beating him, Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) might just have it. Here's where to watch Giro d'Italia live streams online for free – from anywhere.

Pogacar is prone to the occasional off day, a trait that cost him at each of the past two tours he competed in. Thomas, who's never won La Corsa Rosa in five previous attempts, but came agonizingly close a year ago, when he wore the pink jersey for eight stages but lost it at the death, has a superb team backing him up.

Thymen Arensman and Tobias Foss each have the potential to be stars of tomorrow, so they should prove invaluable to the 37-year-old Welshman, who looks set to retire next year and is looking to make the most of the time he has left.

Both Thomas and Pogacar are planning to race the Tour de France this year too, partly because the 2024 Giro d'Italia route is significantly shorter and less jagged than usual, giving rise to the possibility of a first double since 1998.

Below is our guide to where to watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia – including FREE streams.

How to watch Giro d'Italia for FREE

One of the best things about the Giro d'Italia is that it's completely FREE to watch in many places around the world. For example:

Australia – SBS on Demand

Italy – Rai Sport  

Belgium – Sporza

If you're from any of the countries listed above but you're abroad right now, don't worry about missing out on that free coverage. All you need to do is subscribe to a VPN to watch a free Giro d'Italia live stream and re-connect to your home streaming coverage.

Unblock any stream with a VPN

If you're keen to watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia but you're away from home and the coverage is geo-blocked, then you could always use a VPN to access it (assuming you're not breaching any broadcaster T&Cs, of course). You may be surprised by how simple it is to do.

Use a VPN to watch Giro d'Italia live streams from anywhere.

As mentioned above, cycling fans in Australia can watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia for free on SBS Viceland. That means you can also live stream coverage on the free-to-use SBS On Demand platform.

Live coverage of the 2024 Giro d'Italia comes courtesy of Eurosport and its streaming arm Discovery+ in the UK. 

A subscription costs £6.99 per month, and lets you tune in on a wide range of devices, as well as the Eurosport TV channels. 

If you're an Aussie away from home, use a VPN to watch the Giro d'Italia free on SBS on Demand from abroad .

The demise of GCN+ means it's time to get familiar with B/R Sports on Max , which has replaced the dedicated cycling streamer.

A subscription to B/R Sports on Max costs $9.99 per month on top of Max. However, for a limited time only, it's available to use for FREE, so long as you already subscribe to Max.

There are three  Max price  points: $9.99 a month with commercials, the $15.99 commercial-free subscription – both offering HD video quality – and the Ultimate Ad-Free plan, which at $19.99 provides 4K streaming, Dolby Atmos audio, and the ability to download up to 100 titles to watch offline.

There’s also the option to save up to 45% when you subscribe to an annual plan . That’s $70 for the ad-supported plan, $105 for the ad-free option, or $140 to go all-in with the Ultimate Ad-Free plan. Either way, when you go annual you essentially bag yourself two months’ worth of free streaming.

Marianne Vos and Mathieu van der Poel Were the Top Earners of the Spring Classics

However, stark differences in prize money distribution highlight the gender pay gap in pro cycling.

16th omloop het nieuwsblad 2024 women's elite

Close behind Vos and Van der Poel in earnings were Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) with €35,081 ($38,589 USD), and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) with €60,400 ($66,440 USD).

The third top earner for the women was Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek). The Italian won the Tour of Flanders and rode consistently all season. She had a payout of €31,892 ($35,081 USD) in total. She was followed by Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime), who earned €27,970 ($30,767 USD).

On the men’s side, Van der Poel and Philipsen were followed by Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who earned €41,000 ($45,100 USD), and Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), who earned €34,400 ($37,840 USD).

GCN reported that the prize money riders win is usually shared among teammates and members of staff. “With that in mind, one glance at the results shows that Alpecin-Deceuninck will be one happy team, with Van der Poel and Philipsen at the top of the prize money standings, collectively earning €144,900 for the team.”

And if it seems like there’s a frustratingly huge difference between what the top men make and what the top women make, there is. According to GCN , “The top 20 men earned €417,750 in prize money in the Classics. The top 20 women earned €253,076 across the same period—that’s before considering the difference in base salaries.”

But progress is (slowly) being made. Two years ago, Flanders Classics announced that they would award equal prize money to men and women at the Tour of Flanders. Then, a year later, they extended the deal to all races under their umbrella. This means that equal prize money was awarded to Vos and Jan Tratnik (Visma-Lease a Bike) at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. The same was true for both Wiebes and Pedersen at Ghent-Wevelgem, as well as Longo Borghini and Van der Poel at the Tour of Flanders.

Unfortunately, other organizers have yet to follow suit. According to GCN , “The biggest disparity was at Strade Bianche, where Lotte Kopecky’s winning ride earned her a measly €2,256 relative to Pogačar’s €16,000. It was a similar tale at Paris-Roubaix, where Kopecky was awarded €9,000 less than Van der Poel, and at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, where Grace Brown (FDJ-SUEZ) won €12,500 to Pogačar’s €20,000.”

Texas MS 150 Bike Tour Returns To Aggieland

Texas A&M University will once again serve as the finish line for thousands of cyclists riding in the Texas MS 150 when the 40th annual charity bike tour concludes Sunday on Houston Street between Kyle Field and Aggie Park.

The two-day event benefiting people with multiple sclerosis — a condition that damages the body’s nervous system by eroding the protective coating of nerves — will run April 27-28, with a variety of routes beginning in Houston and Austin before converging in La Grange and again in College Station. Texas A&M Transportation Services is advising drivers to anticipate multiple road closures and potential delays beginning early Sunday as the riders make their way through campus.

A section of Lamar Street starting at the bell tower will be closed to drivers throughout the day, while Houston Street will remain closed from George Bush Drive to Joe Routt Boulevard. Riders will make their way down Olsen Boulevard and Old Main Drive before passing the Memorial Student Center and Kyle Field on their way to the finish line. A map of the route through campus, as well as accompanying road closure and parking information, can be found at transport.tamu.edu/ms150 .

Visitors planning to watch the participants finish are invited to park in one of the three nearby garages: Gene Stallings Boulevard Garage and University Center Garage will both charge a flat $10 entry fee, while West Campus Garage charges an hourly visitor rate. Additional parking information is available on Transportation Services’ event parking page .

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Bike MS, which encompasses the Texas MS 150 and a variety of other charity rides across the country, traces its roots to 1980, when the first MS 150 was held in Minnesota. Today, it is the largest fundraising cycling series in the world. Participants in this year’s Texas MS 150 have already raised nearly $7 million to fight multiple sclerosis, with an overall fundraising goal of $9.425 million. More information about the Texas MS 150 and Bike MS is available at events.nationalmssociety.org .
