Tour de France 2019: How to stream online and watch on TV, start dates and more

The 2019 Tour de France is upon us and Geraint Thomas will be bidding to defend his title after winning in style last year.

This time he won’t have Chris Froome by his side after the four-time champion crashed out of the race – and his season – at the Criterium du Dauphine.

However Thomas still faces stiff competition from the likes of Richie Porte, Adam Yates and Vincenzo Nibali, while even his own teammate Egan Bernal could go and win the race.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to follow the race.

How to stream

The race can be streamed on Eurosport with the Sky TV app and Sky Go app. If you don’t have Eurosport, you can still buy a monthly or annual pass.

How to watch on TV

In the most of the UK, Eurosport will be showing the entire race, while ITV4 will also be showing the race and producing daily highlights. In Wales, S4C is the official broadcaster and will be showing the race live on free-to-air TV. 

What are the key dates?

The race starts on Saturday 6 July in Brussels, and finishes on Sunday 28 July in Paris.
