With 21 stages over three weeks, there\u2019s a lot to watch if you want to follow the 2022 Tour de France<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are options to watch the entire race end-to-end if you\u2019ve got five-plus hours to spend each day or, for the more time-pressed, plenty of highlight options to compress the day\u2019s action down into an hour or so.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re really stuck for time, there are the daily five-minute highlights on the Le Tour website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the Grand D\u00e9part<\/em> in Copenhagen right through to the final sprint on the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es three and a bit weeks later, you can expect wall-to-wall coverage with at least some subscription-free in most territories.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the option to use a VPN to stream from a country with free terrestrial coverage, although most VPNs with decent geographic coverage and streaming speeds will require a subscription.<\/p>\n

How can I watch the Tour de France live in the UK?<\/h2>\n

In the UK, ITV4, Eurosport, discovery+ and GCN+ are broadcasting live. ITV4 is free to air (as is S4C for Welsh speakers), while the other options require a subscription. GCN+ is ad-free and available both live and on-demand.<\/p>\n

All of the above offer evening highlights and analysis of the day\u2019s action too.<\/p>\n

How can I watch the Tour de France live in the US?<\/h2>\n

Viewers in the US can enjoy daily coverage on NBC, NBCSN and Peacock. You can watch on NBC on demand too \u2013 there\u2019s no additional charge above your cable, satellite or telco TV provider\u2019s subscription cost.<\/p>\n

Peacock access requires a subscription to its premium tier, priced at $4.99 plus tax a month. You can escape the ads by paying $9.99 a month for Premium Plus.<\/p>\n

How can I watch the Tour de France live in Australia?<\/h2>\n

With plenty of Aussie interest \u2013 not least Ben O\u2019Connor\u2019s impressive current form \u2013 cycling fans in Australia can enjoy every stage live on SBS. Handily, there\u2019s a free on-demand service if you\u2019re not an insomniac, while there are daily highlights on the SBS Sport website.<\/p>\n

Stages and start times<\/h2>\n

Keep an eye on the times below to ensure you don\u2019t miss an arriv\u00e9e <\/em>either.<\/span><\/figcaption> Tim de Waele\/Getty Images<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Like the race itself, stage start times are a moveable feast, with starts as early as 12:15 CET and as late as 16:30 CET. End times will vary significantly too, depending on stage length, how hard the terrain is and how fast it\u2019s ridden.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the Tour de France has organised a few of these races before, so it\u2019s got a pretty good idea of when the first riders are likely to reach the finish. Again, that\u2019s highly variable \u2013 anything from 16:40 CET out to 19:43 CET, so you need to be on your toes to make sure you\u2019re watching early enough not to miss the end-stage action.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a table, taken from the Le Tour website, of expected start and best (and worst) case end times. If you want to see particular action \u2013 such as the first of the 11 cobbled secteurs on Stage Five \u2013 the time that the race is expected to reach intermediate points is set out on the site too, right down to railway level crossings and tiny villages in la France profonde<\/em>.<\/p>\n
