The Tour de France will stay on free-to-air public television across much of Europe until at least 2032. The European Broadcasting Union, Tour owner Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) and Unipublic, which runs La Vuelta, have added two years to a media rights deal that already ran to 2030.
The package covers both the men's and women's editions of the organisers' biggest races: the Tour, La Vuelta and Paris-Roubaix, plus Liège-Bastogne-Liège, La Flèche Wallonne, Paris-Nice and a string of other one-day and stage races. Public broadcasters in eleven countries, among them RAI in Italy, NOS in the Netherlands, RTBF in Belgium and SRG SSR in Switzerland, hold all or part of the rights for 2031-32. Eurosport keeps a sub-licence across Europe (outside France for the Tour itself), with TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland.
The extension comes shortly after the 2026-2030 renewal and continues a partnership that began in 1968. A.S.O. says nearly 150 million people across Europe follow the Tour each summer, and that younger viewers are increasingly watching on broadcasters' digital platforms.
The route of the 2027 Tour, which starts in Britain, is revealed in Paris on 22 October.
