We're into the final day of this year's race, so a Tour de France stage 21 live stream is going to be a hot ticket if you want to watch the riders make their final journey into Paris. The Tour de France is free-to-air on ITVX (UK) and SBS On-Demand (AUS) . Make sure you know how to watch for free with a VPN from anywhere .

The 2023 Tour de France is coming to an end and stage 21 is the final chance for the sprinters to battle it out on Paris' most famous avenue, the Champs Élysées. All of the jerseys are wrapped up so we should see the typical champagne-filled procession in and around Paris.

The final stage begins at the Velodrome de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines before setting off on the journey back into Paris where yellow jersey winner, Jonas Vingegaard, will no doubt enjoy some champagne on the road with his teammates. Once they hit the city, the peloton will pass the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre multiple times before the wind-up for the final sprint begins. Alpecin-Deceuninck have been the best leadout unit at the 2023 Tour, with Jasper Philipsen winning four flat sprints. The flying Belgian should have Mathieu van der Poel and co. working to bring him to the final trip up the Champs Élysées safely before he looks to win the final Tour stage for the second year running. Groenewegen was closest to him last year and will be one of the other sprinters left after a brutal Tour trying to dethrone the green jersey wearer. 

With one final stage remaining, it’s helpful to know there are plenty of channels around the world broadcasting Tour de France 2023 live streams to help you keep up with the last bit of action. Here's how to watch stage 21 of the Tour de France 2023 .

Tour de France stage 21: the route

Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Élysées (Sunday, July 23) The final stage of the 2023 Tour de France is the typical processional stage in and around Paris. It starts at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome which will play host to the track cycling at next year's Olympic Games, before looping back east towards the French capital. The 115.1km route is incredibly flat and only has one category four climb, but that won't threaten Giulio Ciccone's lead of the polka-dot classification. It's all set for the sprinters' royale on the Champs-Élysées with the fast men and leadouts ready to fight for position and battle for the win after completing nine laps of the Parisian circuit. The long finishing road on Paris's most famous avenue has long played host to the final Tour and was last won by Jasper Philipsen, holder of the green jersey, who will be the favourite for the day.

Tour de France 2022 - How to watch live on TV, live stream details, who is riding, favourites for yellow

Ben Snowball

Updated 28/06/2022 at 14:45 GMT

The stage is set for the greatest show on two wheels! The Tour de France returns to our screens from July 1-24, with Tadej Pogacar, Primoz Roglic and Geraint Thomas among those hoping to be cruising down the Champs-Elysees in yellow. There’s also a return to the Tour for Chris Froome, but Fabio Jakobsen has got the nod over Mark Cavendish for the sprint spot in the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team.

How to watch the Tour de France 2021: TV channel, live stream, schedule, ITV coverage and when highlights are

Geraint thomas is chasing the yellow jersey and mark cavendish the green – but the britons face stiff competition.

LES GETS, FRANCE - JUNE 06: Geraint Thomas of The United Kingdom and Team INEOS Grenadiers at start during the 73rd Crit??rium du Dauphin?? 2021, Stage 8 a 147km stage from La L??ch??re-Les-Bains to Les Gets 1160m / #UCIworldtour / #Dauphin?? / @dauphine / on June 06, 2021 in Les Gets, France.

A thrilling Tour de France finished in late September after it was pushed back due to the pandemic, and some nine months later the same two faces are expected to be out in front when the 2021 edition gets under way.

This year’s Tour starts on Saturday 26 June, with defending champion Tadej Pogacar out to defend his crown and Primoz Roglic hoping to beat his fellow Slovenian.

Roglic held the yellow jersey for 11 stages last year but a stunning mountain time-trial performance from Pogacar in Stage 20 helped the then 21-year-old become the youngest general classification winner for over a century – a display which saw him claim the young rider and mountains classifications to boot.

This year’s battle for the yellow jersey has been dubbed part two of “Pog vs Rog” in some quarters, but Geraint Thomas is among the ever-strong Ineos Grenadiers contingent chasing glory once more.

Here we take a look at the leading contenders, and below there is analysis of the fight for the green jersey as Mark Cavendish makes his Tour comeback .

You can also scroll down to see the full schedule and start times at the bottom.

Tadej Pogacar – UAE Team Emirates

  • Age: 22 | Best result: 2020 winner

Pogacar comes into the Tour in good form having won the Tour of Slovenia earlier in June. The 22-year-old also won the one-day Liège-Bastogne-Liège and headed an impressive field at the Tirreno–Adriatico to justify his tag as favourite for the Tour de France.

The spotlight will be a little brighter as the defending champion, but the Slovenian has a strong team behind him, among them Rafal Majka – a two-time King of the Mountains – and new addition Marc Hirschi, who impressed last year.

“My year so far has gone really well and I’m really looking forward to starting this Tour with good preparation and good condition,” Pogacar said. “I am confident in myself and my team, we can’t wait for the challenge.”

Primoz Roglic –Team Jumbo-Visma

  • Age: 31 | Best result: Second in 2020

Roglic must ride away the pain of last year’s agonising near-miss when taking to French tarmac once more this year. He was able to win last year’s edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège after the Tour finished, while this year he will be buoyed by his Tour of the Basque Country win – a six-stage race in which Pogacar came third.

Having focused on altitude training over races this year, Roglic is a man on a mission, and has riders including Steven Kruijswijk, Sepp Kuss, Wout van Aert and Tony Martin out to support his cause at Jumbo-Visma.

Geraint Thomas – Ineos Grenadiers

  • Age: 35 | Best result: 2018 winner

Thomas was a surprise omission from Ineos’ roster for the 2020 Tour de France, but he returns as part of a strong pack this time around, with team-mates Richie Porte and Richard Carapaz (below) also deemed contenders if Pogacar and Roglic fall short.

For Thomas, it will be about ensuring this team can work together before a prime general classification candidate becomes clearer, and that means any mistakes could lead to him backing up Porte or Carapaz – or even last year’s British winner of the Giro d’Italia, Tao Geoghegan Hart – in the latter stages.

Giro d’Italia 2021 results: Final standings as Egan Bernal wins grand tour for Ineos-Grenadiers

Porte won the Criterium du Dauphine earlier this month, while Thomas came third after winning the Tour de Romandie in May – his first title since winning the 2018 Tour de France. A good omen, but the Briton will know the Slovenians could take some beating.

Richard Carapaz – Ineos Grenadiers

  • Age: 28 | Best result: 13 th in 2020  

The 2019 Giro d’Italia champion saw his odds shorten after winning the Tour de Suisse recently which, along with the Criterium du Dauphine, is deemed as a good metric for which riders are heading to France in form.

The Ecuadorian will therefore be hoping a strong showing in the early mountain stages (eight and nine) will make him Ineos’ leader heading into the business-end of the Tour, but with a time trial on Stage 20 once more Carapaz will likely need a sizeable lead to hold off Pogacar and Roglic.

2021 Tour de France general classification (yellow jersey) odds Best at time of writing on 23 June: Tadej Pogacar – 13-8 Primoz Roglic – 15-8 Geraint Thomas – 9-2 Richard Carapaz – 8-1 Richie Porte – 22-1 Julian Alaphilippe 28-1

What about Chris Froome?

Chris Froome will be racing at this year’s Tour de France but the Briton will not be targeting a fifth title.

The 36-year-old is gearing up for his first Tour with Israel Start-Up Nation after leaving Ineos, but he will not be leading his team this year – instead supporting Canadian Michael Woods.

Froome finished a lowly 47 th at the Criterium du Dauphine and is still looking to get back to full fitness following last year’s horrific crash. A likely leader next year, this Tour will be about building his confidence and relationships with his team-mates.

Will Cavendish win the green jersey?

Back on the Tour for the first time since 2018, 36-year-old Mark Cavendish is aiming to add to his 30 career Tour stage wins. He is just four shy of all-time record-holder Eddy Merckx, and was included in Deceuninck-Quick-Step’s team with fellow sprinter Sam Bennett injured and therefore unable to defend his green jersey.

“I am delighted to be going back to the Tour de France with Deceuninck-Quick-Step,” Cavendish said. “Obviously, the circumstances with Sam could be better – he had a special Tour last year and I am sad for him not being able to defend his green jersey.

“But at the same time, I am excited to be going back to a race that I have such an affinity with and where I have so much history. It is the biggest bike race in the world, and I am going to do all I can to grab this opportunity with both hands.”

Cavendish last won the points classification in 2011, with Slovakia’s Peter Sagan going on to dominate, claiming seven of the last nine green jerseys.

Already the record-holder, Sagan (Bora–Hansgrohe) is joint-favourite to make it eight this year, but you can expect to see Lotto–Soudal’s Caleb Ewan claiming stage wins too, making the green jersey battle as intriguing as the one for yellow.

No. Words. Can. Describe. How. I. Feel. I will do absolutely everything to honour #thewolfpack boys, the @deceuninck_qst jersey and the greatest race on the planet @LeTour . Big boots to fill for @Sammmy_Be . Can everybody join me in sending him positive vibes please 🙏🙏 — Mark Cavendish (@MarkCavendish) June 21, 2021

Cavendish will hope to be there or there abouts, and after winning four stages of the Tour of Turkey in April and the last stage of the Belgium Tour in June, it will be great to see him back on a Tour that he adores.

Points classification (green jersey) odds Peter Sagan – 9-4 Caleb Ewan – 9-4 Arnaud Demare – 11-4 Wout van Aert – 7-1 Sonny Colbrelli – 15-2 Mark Cavendish – 12-1

Tips for Streaming the Tour de France Smoothly

Now that you know where to stream the Tour de France, let’s dive into some tips to ensure a smooth streaming experience. There’s nothing more frustrating than buffering, lagging, or missing out on crucial moments due to technical difficulties. Follow these tips to optimize your streaming setup:

Check your internet connection

Before the race begins, make sure you have a stable and high-speed internet connection. Slow internet can result in buffering and poor video quality. If possible, connect your device directly to your router using an Ethernet cable for the best performance.

Close unnecessary applications and tabs

Streaming the Tour de France requires a considerable amount of bandwidth. To avoid any potential slowdowns, close any unnecessary applications and tabs on your device. This will free up resources and ensure that your streaming platform receives all the bandwidth it needs.

Use a wired connection

If you’re streaming on a laptop or desktop computer, using a wired internet connection instead of Wi-Fi can help improve stability and reduce the chances of interruptions. Consider connecting your device directly to your router using an Ethernet cable for a more reliable connection.

Choose the right streaming quality

Most streaming platforms allow you to adjust the video quality to match your internet connection. If you’re experiencing buffering or lag, try lowering the streaming quality to ensure a smoother experience. You can always switch back to higher quality when your connection improves.

Update your streaming platform

Make sure you’re using the latest version of your streaming platform. Updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements that can enhance your streaming experience. Check for updates regularly to ensure you’re getting the best possible performance.

Watch Tour de France Stages 19, 20 and 21 live streams

Stages 19, 20 and 21 live stream: preview.

Stage 19 was the last chance saloon for those riders who were neither pure climbers or lighting fast sprinters, so pretty much 90% of the peloton . A constantly rolling but not savage stage between Moirans-en-Montagne and Poligny would be the venue for someone to prevail and take a prized stage win before the final weekend. 

Naturally competition was fierce to make it into the break with countless attacks launched before 36 hardy riders made it clear with just 65 kilometres left to race. It was always expected the decisive point of the course would be the final climb, the Cote d’Ivory and thus is was as the group exploded leaving three riders up front Kasper Asgreen (Soudal Quick-Step), Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroen) and Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious).

As hard as the fractured bunch behind tried they could not close the gap to the front three who arrived at the finish to fight between them. Asgreen, the winner the previous day was favourite but it was the determined Slovenian Mohoric who took the win with a final lurch to the line to take it by the width of a tyre. This was the third stage win for Bahrain Victorious and the third to be emotionally dedicated to their former rider Gino Mader who tragically died at the Tour de Swiss. 

Stage 20 had been designed so the battle for yellow could go right down to the wire, to be decided on the very last climb of the race. Unfortunately though that battle was over but there were still plenty of other battles further down the classification that were to be fought for and it did indeed turn into a classic stage of aggressive racing. 

The first contest to be settled was that for the polka dot Jersey. In the lead was Giulio Ciccone but up to four other riders could have taken his crown. In the end he triumphed sealing victory by taking maximum points on top of the Col de la Schlucht to become the first Italian since 1992 to win the climbers classification. 

On the next climb, from the break containing Ciccone a smaller group including Tom Pidcock and Thibault Pinot broke clear with Pinot then attacking alone. On his home roads and with tens of thousands of rampant French fans screaming his name he went solo in search of the stage win. Could it be? Would the fairytale come true in his last Tour? Alas no. He did enjoy one final hurrah but it was the favourites who caught the break and now recovered from a couple of bad days Pogacar bagged the win to salvage his race. 

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.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France.

This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs , followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN . Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.

If you aren’t lucky enough to soon be like one of the fortunate people in the above image watching Tour de France at the roadside this July, then sitting in front of the television will have to do.

It’s a summer (sorry Aus) tradition. Lazily sitting in your living room at the weekends watching the kilometres tick by, while in the office during the week (at least in the pre-Covid days) becoming highly skilled at switching tabs away from your chosen streaming site back to your work whenever your boss walks by.

With the Tour de France beginning in Copenhagen on Friday, July 1 and finishing in Paris on Sunday, July 24, here’s how to watch the three weeks of racing wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Tour de France in…

First off, the NBCSN cable channel is no more and the NBC Sports Gold Cycling Pass has been discontinued. Instead, NBC has rolled its cycling coverage into the Peacock streaming service. The good news is it only costs $4.99 month-to-month, meaning you can cancel it as soon as Tadej Pogačar crosses the finish line in Paris to claim his third yellow jersey in a row at a canter. Hurrah! Alternatively, FloBikes will also be broadcasting the Tour on their platform at a cost of $12.50 a month.

Live-streaming services aside, the race will still be broadcast on the NBC-owned CNBC and USA television channels.

Cycling fans down under will be able to watch live coverage on SBS, with replays of each day’s stage also available on SBS On Demand every day. Their full TV schedule for each stage can be found on their website . Just make sure you don’t wake the baby at 3 am when Ben O’Connor wins the Alpe d’Huez stage and storms into the yellow jersey.

UK viewers can watch Messrs Imlach, Boulting et al. on ITV4, with their daily highlights show also airing every evening. GCN/Eurosport will also have their coverage featuring Bradley Wiggins chasing the peloton on a motorbike, while Welsh viewers will be able to watch the race on S4C.

Viewing on ITV, both on your physical television and via the magic-ness of online streaming, is free, as long as you can remember your ITV Hub password. Meanwhile, GCN+ costs £6.99 a month or £39.99 when you pay annually, with no ad breaks, while the same coverage will be broadcast on Eurosport’s freeview television channel.

Not sure what the situation is to be perfectly honest, but if you find yourself in the Bahamas then you don’t really have anything to complain about.

The aforementioned FloBikes will broadcast the 2022 Tour de France in Canada, eh. Come on Woodsy!

New Zealand

Sky Sport will likely be showing the Tour de France in New Zealand. The cable service costs NZ$26 per month and an extra NZ$32 per month on top for the Sky Sport package that you’ll need to watch the Tour. Worth it just to see Shane Archbold’s mullet though am I right?

Other territories

Tour de France 2023 live streams: How to watch for free, channels, schedule and more

Is the Tour de France all about Pogačar vs Vingegaard?

(L-R) Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia and UAE Team Emirates - White Best Young Rider Jersey, Jonas Vingegaard Rasmussen of Denmark and Team Jumbo - Visma - Yellow Leader Jersey and Chris Hamilton of Australia and Team DSM compete during the Tour de France live stream

FREE Tour de France live streams

Tour de france live streams around the world.

  • Start times

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 <a href="https://go.expressvpn.com/c/4550836/1330033/16063?subId1=hawk-custom-tracking&sharedId=hawk&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.expressvpn.com%2Fgo%2Fcycling%2Ftour-de-france" data-link-merchant="expressvpn.com"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">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.
