How to watch the Giro d'Italia in the UK
In the UK, the race will be shown live across TNT Sports, Warner Bros. Discovery's premium sports channels, with it being on 1, 2, 3 and 4 depending on the day and the time. Check the schedule.
The event can also be streamed online and on mobile devices on Discovery+, with a package priced at £30.99 a month. This offering also gains viewers access to Warner Bros. Discovery's full range of sports listings.

How to watch the Giro d'Italia in the US and Canada
For North American viewers, this year's coverage of the Giro d'Italia is divided across Max and FloBikes.
Max is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, who also operate TNT Sports and Eurosport in Europe. It offers two ad-free plans: Standard ($16.99/mon, $169.99/year) and Premium ($20.99/month, $209.99/year). This has changed recently, with the old 'basic' plan no longer including live cycling.
Flobikes is in charge of broadcasting the Giro d'Italia in Canada. Subscriptions cost CA$39.99 a month, with big savings for long-term plans. The Flobikes TV app is available on Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast and Apple TV, as well as on iOS and Android.
Can I watch the Giro d'Italia for free?
Fans in Australia, as well as numerous European countries, can watch the Giro d'Italia for free thanks to broadcasters in their regions.
In Australia, the race will be shown on TV and online by SBS, the country's public service broadcaster. Streaming is available at SBS On Demand.
In the host country, Italy, you can watch the Giro on public broadcaster RAI, with the action on RAI 2 or RAI Sport on TV, and through RAI Play online.
Once again you can watch the Giro for free in Belgium, with Flemish-language coverage on VRT and the Sporza website, and French-language coverage on RTBF and the Auvio streaming platform.
Over in the Netherlands, the Giro is live on NOS and NPO Start while in Switzerland, it's with public broadcaster SRG on RSI La 2, which can be streamed online via the RSI website.
Coverage is geo-restricted, so if you're not in any of these countries right now, and these channels are your usual port of call, you'll need a VPN to get your usual coverage while abroad – more on that below.
How to watch the Giro d'Italia while abroad
Most streaming platforms have geo-restrictions these days, which means they only work in certain countries. But being locked out of the races is a thing of the past thanks to a VPN.
A Virtual Private Network is a piece of internet security software that can alter your device's location, so you can unblock your usual streaming services, even when you're abroad.
With super-fast connections, multi-device support, and compatibility with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon, and more, there's a reason why NordVPN is considered the best VPN for streaming. There's a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and it's currently on offer at a huge discount – that's a win!
