The 109th edition will commence from July 1st to July 24th, 2022, covering a distance of 3,328 kilometers. 21 stages are scheduled for the race, and you don’t want to miss any of the cycling action. So, if you don’t know your way around, here’s how you can watch Tour de France 2022 live anywhere.

Grand Départ 2022 – Global Streaming

As mentioned, Tour de France is the biggest race among all three Grand Tours. While Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a España have their fair share of fans and viewers, they pale in comparison to what Tour de France has harnessed over the years. In fact, the prestigious race gained more than 15 million spectators and 1 billion+ television viewers all over the world. Now, the question lies here: How did the race gain that much popularity on a global scale? The answer is simple. Tour de France has television deals all over the world. So, if you want to see if your country has an official broadcaster, check the list below:

• ITV (UK)
• SBS (Australia)
• France TV (France)
• Sky Sport (New Zealand)
• Rai Play (Italy, Free)
• NBC Sports (USA)
• RTVE (Spain, Free)
• TV2 Play (Denmark)
• SuperSport (South Africa)
• DAZN (Japan)
• FloBikes (Canada)
• NBC Sports (USA)
• beIN Sport (The Middle East)
• Eurosport (Pan Europe)
• ARD (Germany)

Having such. alist of broadcasters might be beneficial for most cycling fans. However, some people don’t have this privilege in their region as it might be lacking a channel that airs the race. Not to mention that a lot of these channels are premium, which may not be convenient to most.

Geo-Restrictions Apply

The problem here is that you won’t be able to stream the race on any other channel if you don’t live within its area of coverage. Each channel is restricted to its respective country. In other words, if you try to access them from abroad, you’ll be blocked instantly. For example, ARD is a free channel that is only available in Germany. It requires a German IP address to operate. If you live abroad, such an IP is exactly what you lack, which will result in the following error message:

“Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis. Derzeit ist der Stream aus rechtlichen Gründen nur in Deutschland empfangbar.” 

This translates to “For legal reasons, the stream can currently only be received in Germany.” Geo-blocking has been a problem streamers have faced for a long time now. However, with BulletVPN, everyone can surf the internet as if no restrictions apply anymore. Read on and find out how BulletVPN can help you unblock all the aforementioned channels and watch Tour de France 2022 live wherever you are.
