If you're wondering where to watch the Tour de France 2025 and catch as much of the action as possible, here's everything you need to know.

The favorites in this year's race are defending champ Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuckStep). Pogačar was beyond impressive in the 2024 iteration of the race, and he has his sights set on immortality. A win in France would leave him tied for the fifth-most Tour GC wins ever. But following close behind (perhaps literally) will be his rival Vingegaard, who won the race in both 2022 and 2023. He's also beaten Pogačar twice before in the Tour. Can he summon the strength and determination to do it again?

In pursuit of these rival competitors will be the underdog Evenepoel, a 25-year-old Belgian and two-time UCI world champion, Olympic champion, and European champion. In 2022, he became the first Belgian to win a Grand Tour in more than 40 years. But he placed third in last year's Tour de France, and the oddsmakers predict he'll meet the same fate again this year. Can he shock the world and surpass the experts' expectations?
