Wednesday 11 June

Professional road cycling's modern gladiators are in the slipstream to the 2025 Tour de France and the Tour de France avec Zwift, with the pure drama and intense rivalry of the world's biggest cycling showdown available live and free on SBS and SBS On Demand from Saturday 5 July. As Australia's Home of Cycling, SBS will bring audiences all the action from every stage of the 112th edition of the Tour de France from July 5-27, and the fourth edition of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, from July 26-August 3.

From the peloton roll-out in Lille on July 5 to its finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, all 21 stages of this year's Tour de France will take place in France for the first time in five years. The 2025 route will feature 184 riders and will traverse 3,338,8 kilometres, beginning with 10 flat and hilly stages before the latter half takes the peloton into the mountains. There will be five summit finishes, including Col de la Loze and Mont Ventoux, where relentless climbs are met with the most spectacular scenery.

The SBS Cycling commentary team will be on the ground in France taking viewers into the very heart of the peloton, bringing a wealth of personal experience, trusted analysis and expert commentary from every stage.

Helming the Tour de France race coverage will be Matthew Keenan, Simon Gerrans, Dr Bridie O'Donnell, David McKenzie and Christophe Mallet.

The Tour de France Femmes will also feature Matthew Keenan, Dr Bridie O'Donnell, David McKenzie, and Christophe Mallet, with Gracie Elvin, and the new addition of our most successful female cyclist, recently retired Australian Olympic and World champion Grace Brown.

SBS Director of Sport, Ken Shipp said: SBS is proud to be the home of cycling in Australia, delivering every moment of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift to audiences nationwide. These events are more than a race, they're epic stories of resilience, rivalry and raw emotion. We are deeply invested in bringing that to life, with world-class coverage and a true passion for the sport. As our Aussie stars line up on the world stage, SBS is right there, bringing audiences every moment that makes the Tour unforgettable.

Australian viewers can watch every stage of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift broadcast live on SBS. Both events will be available to stream live, in full, on SBS On Demand. SBS also offers the Tour de France Hubfor a variety of Tour content including extended highlights, full stage catch-ups and mini stage recaps. Live coverage of the Tour will also include cultural and historical segments to enrich the audience experience. The SBS Sport website is a one-stop shop for the official Race Centre which features statistics, results and live tracking of the riders, alongside the latest news, opinions and expert analysis, The Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift broadcast times vary (full schedule here).

The daily SBS Cycling Podcast hosted on location by Christophe Mallet and David McKenzie, with guest co-host Grace Brown, returns in 2025, thanks to partner Tanarra. As the only Australian podcast officially embedded in the Tour, the SBS Cycling Podcast, provides a comprehensive exploration of both races, delivering an episode for every stage of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. With in-depth race analysis, exclusive rider interviews, and behind-the-scenes insights, it's the ultimate companion, giving listeners the chance to chase the race from the inside. More than cycling commentary, it's a roving newsroom and a morning coffee companion, direct from France overnight and available on all your favourite podcast apps.

This year's race narrative for the Tour de France has intensified with a star-studded line-up of general classification contenders to contest the French Grand Tour. Denmark's two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard is determined to reclaim his overall title against his greatest rival, and 2024 reigning Giro and Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar, who is at the peak of his powers chasing not just wins, but legacy. Pogacar is fresh off dominating the Spring Classics with wins at the Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race, and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. He enters the Tour as the world champion and overwhelming favourite. Belgian Remco Evenepoel would love to rise in pursuit of glory and remains a serious contender despite his training crash in December, especially with two individual time trials on this year's route. Aussie Ben O'Connor will lead the General Classification charge for Australia after claiming 2nd place on last year's Vuelta a Espa a.

The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is now in its fourth year and is firmly established as the biggest race in the women's calendar. This year's 9-day race, set entirely in France, will follow the longest route in the women's race revival. It also takes the women to new heights, with a 1,165km route across four regions, with a total elevation gain of 17,240 metres. Following a Grand D part in Brittany on July 26, there will be two flat stages, three hilly stages and two medium-mountain stages, before the race finishes with two back-to-back high mountain stages involving major climbs over the Col de Madeleine (the highest mountain of this Tour de France Femmes at 2,000 metre
