Your guide on how to watch the Tour de France 2023 live on TV and details about highlights throughout the event.
The Tour de France is ready to put riders to the ultimate test once again with a cluster of the world’s finest ready to brave the hills of the French countryside in pursuit of glory.
Fans can soak up all the action live on TV, with options including comprehensive coverage on free-to-air and paid platforms.
Jonas Vingegaard triumphed in last year’s Tour after finishing second to Tadej Pogačar in 2021. The pair look set to clash once more this year in a tantalising battle that could shape the Tour.
British riders include the likes of Mark Cavendish, Adam Yates, Simon Yates and Tom Pidcock. Last year’s third-place finisher Geraint Thomas will not feature in France after coming second in the Giro d’Italia and turning his attention to the Vuelta a España later this summer.
The route will lead riders from Bilbao, Spain, through to the finish line in Paris, with a whole lot of inevitable drama in between.
