Tour de France 2024 captivates Australians with almost 4 million viewers tuning in so far
9 July, 2024
Media releases
More than 3.9 million Australians have tuned into the 2024 Tour de France to date, including more than 1.3 million Australians aged 25-54.
Last week, livestreaming on SBS On Demand peaked, with a year-to-date record average audience.
Tour de France Stage 2 has so far achieved the highest national Total TV reach of 944,000 viewers.
Last week, Total BVOD (Live + VOD) achieved the highest weekly consumption hours of 2024 at 3 million hours.
SBS Director of Sport, Ken Shipp said: Australian cycling fans have clearly been captivated by the action of the 2024 Tour de France and are enthusiastically tuning in to SBS for all the colour and excitement.
With nine stages now down and still 11 to go, it's shaping up to be a massive year for the TDF on the network, and we couldn't be happier with the audience reception.
This current generation of cyclists competing is the most interesting and colourful so far; more social media-savvy, more crowd-pleasing and more entertaining. There are fewer Aussies competing this year, but viewing is continuing to grow. The Tour de France is really coming into its own as a major annual viewing event for Australian sport fans to have on their calendar of must-watch events.
We're looking forward to showcasing more of the thrills on the road, wonderful local scenery and cuisine, and of course, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
