Option 2 — Peacock (USA, all stages)

Peacock is the easiest single-service option for US viewers — all 21 stages live, plus on-demand replays. At $7.99/month it’s comparable to IPTV in price but covers only Tour de France (and other NBC sports), not the broader channel library.

Option 3 — ITV4 / ITVX (UK, free)

Complete free coverage for UK viewers. Watch live via a digital antenna (ITV4 broadcast) or stream on ITVX for free. Requires a UK IP address for the streaming app.

Option 4 — GCN+ (global, cycling-specific)

Global Cycling Network’s streaming platform carries Tour de France and 150+ other cycling events per year. Useful for dedicated cycling fans who want the deepest coverage and analysis.

Option 5 — YouTube TV / Hulu Live ($72–83/month)

Both include NBC Sports and Peacock access. Complete Tour de France coverage but expensive for a 3-week race.
