We're into the final day of this year's race, so a Tour de France stage 21 live stream is going to be a hot ticket if you want to watch the riders make their final journey into Paris. The Tour de France is free-to-air on ITVX (UK) and SBS On-Demand (AUS). Make sure you know how to watch for free with a VPN from anywhere.
The 2023 Tour de France is coming to an end and stage 21 is the final chance for the sprinters to battle it out on Paris' most famous avenue, the Champs Élysées. All of the jerseys are wrapped up so we should see the typical champagne-filled procession in and around Paris.
The final stage begins at the Velodrome de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines before setting off on the journey back into Paris where yellow jersey winner, Jonas Vingegaard, will no doubt enjoy some champagne on the road with his teammates. Once they hit the city, the peloton will pass the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre multiple times before the wind-up for the final sprint begins. Alpecin-Deceuninck have been the best leadout unit at the 2023 Tour, with Jasper Philipsen winning four flat sprints. The flying Belgian should have Mathieu van der Poel and co. working to bring him to the final trip up the Champs Élysées safely before he looks to win the final Tour stage for the second year running. Groenewegen was closest to him last year and will be one of the other sprinters left after a brutal Tour trying to dethrone the green jersey wearer.
With one final stage remaining, it’s helpful to know there are plenty of channels around the world broadcasting Tour de France 2023 live streams to help you keep up with the last bit of action. Here's how to watch stage 21 of the Tour de France 2023.

Tour de France stage 21: the route
Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Élysées (Sunday, July 23)
The final stage of the 2023 Tour de France is the typical processional stage in and around Paris. It starts at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome which will play host to the track cycling at next year's Olympic Games, before looping back east towards the French capital. The 115.1km route is incredibly flat and only has one category four climb, but that won't threaten Giulio Ciccone's lead of the polka-dot classification. It's all set for the sprinters' royale on the Champs-Élysées with the fast men and leadouts ready to fight for position and battle for the win after completing nine laps of the Parisian circuit. The long finishing road on Paris's most famous avenue has long played host to the final Tour and was last won by Jasper Philipsen, holder of the green jersey, who will be the favourite for the day.
