Last year, ITV lost the rights to broadcast the Tour de France from 2026, ending 40 years of free-to-air coverage of the race in the UK. The package was instead sold exclusively to Warner Bros Discovery, the parent company of TNT Sports. It is a bitter blow as the sport will disappear behind a paywall.

Stage 19 of the 2025 Tour de France is being shortened due to a contagious outbreak in a local cattle herd along the originally planned route.

Fans in the UK can watch stage 20 of the Tour de France for free on ITV4 and its streaming platform ITVX, although coverage only starts at 13:00 BST, nearly two hours after the start of the stage. For full coverage, TNT Sports 1 and Discovery+ (£30.99/month) are live with stage 20 of the Tour de France from 10:45 BST.

How to watch the 2025 Tour de France in the US: In the U.S., every stage of the Tour de France will stream on Peacock. NBC will also air coverage from Stage 1, 2, 15, 20 and 21.

The 2025 Tour de France will be broadcast live on ITV4 in the UK, in what is the last year of free-to-air coverage of the race before it is exclusively shown on TNT Sports and Discovery+. Viewers can also stream the race online via ITVX app and website, and subscribers can watch the action on the TNT Sports and Discovery+ apps.

How to watch Tour de France in the US. The Tour de France will be available on NBC in the US. This means viewers can catch race coverage over-the-air, although some stages will be shown on tape-delay.

As the rebirth of the women's Tour de France, supported by Zwift, enters its fourth edition, it has become one of the most popular events on the calendar. It has taken the riders to the most iconic summits of La Super Planche des Belles, Col du Tourmalet, and Alpe d'Huez, all while pushing the race out to nine days.
