How to watch Tour de France 2022: Live stream the 109th French Grand Tour
Everything you need to know about catching all of the live action of the 2022 edition of the Tour de France on TV

The Tour de France 2022 gets underway on Friday 1 July and takes place across 21 stages.
The 2022 Tour de France route opens with the Grands Départs in Denmark before finishing on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Sunday 24 July.
A stacked field of riders are set to take to the start line in Copenhagen, with reigning champion Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) joined by Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma), Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), among plenty of other quality riders.
