How to watch Tour de France 2026: Everything you need to live stream the French Grand Tour — Stage 10
All the key information on broadcasters and free live streams for the Tour de France from 4-26 July, so you can watch the French Grand Tour online, on TV, from anywhere.
Watch Tour de France 2026 live streams from anywhere in the world as Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard once again fight it out for the yellow jersey.
Today brings Stage 10, as we head from Aurillac to Le Lioran for another potentially crucial day in the general classification battle. Vingegaard won last time we visited the finish in 2024 as he outsprinted Pogacar — a repeat in 2026?
For many riders and fans alike, the Tour is the season's peak – the biggest stage where the greatest stars challenge each other over some of cycling's most legendary battlefields.
The race entered the Pyrenees as early as stage three. Following that mountain range the race went into Bordeaux. Next up it will cut diagonally across the country, through the Massif Central, onto the Vosges, before heading down into the Alps and two stage finishes up Alpe d'Huez.
Alongside Pogačar and Vingegaard, Tom Pidcock, Paul Seixas, Remco Evenepoel and Mathieu van der Poel are among the stars to watch over the three weeks of the French Grand Tour.

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.
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.

The Tour de France 2026 will be the 113th edition of what most bike racing fans view as the greatest bike race in the world. It will cover 3,333km over the course of three weeks and 21 stages – with two rest days along the way.
Starting on Saturday 4 July, the French Grand Tour begins in Barcelona with a team time trial, and then another lumpy stage in Spain, before it heads north to France to finish stage three in the Pyrenees.
From there, the race deals with the Pyrenees early, then cuts through the Massif Central up to the Vosges, then through the Jura to the Alps, where there is a showdown on Alpe d'Huez with two stages back-to-back on the antepenultimate and penultimate days.
The race ends on Sunday 26 July in Paris with a repeat of the Montmartre circuit which was such a success last year.
There are multiple contenders for the famous yellow jersey, but Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) stands above them all. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) will attempt to the do the double after he won the Giro d'Italia in May.
Remco Evenepoel is back, but with a new team in Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe, where he will share leadership with last year's third-place, Florian Lipowitz, while the hopes of France hinge on the success of 19-year-old Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM).
In between all those, there's a hatful of sprinters, puncheurs, and climbers who will be hoping to make their mark with a stage win.
