How to Watch Tour de France 2025 Live in Canada?

The Tour de France 2025 is rolling in from July 5 to 27, and if you’re like me, you don’t want to miss a single climb, sprint, or yellow jersey moment.

Whether you’re watching it live, catching replays later, or hoping to stream it for free, I’ve laid out everything I’ve learned so you can watch the Tour de France online in Canada — or even abroad.

Key Takeaways:

• FloBikes is the official streaming service in Canada, but it’s a paid subscription.
• There are free, legal ways to watch the race by using a VPN to access international broadcasters like ITVX (UK), SBS On Demand (Australia), and France TV.
• You can stream the Tour on smart TVs, mobile devices, web browsers, and streaming sticks.
• You don’t need a cable subscription — both paid and free options work completely online.
• If you’re travelling outside Canada, you can still watch FloBikes using a VPN or Smart DNS by connecting to a Canadian server.
• I personally use and highly recommend ExpressVPN — it reliably unlocks Canadian and international streaming services.
• Coverage is available in both English and French, depending on which stream you choose.
• Most platforms offer live-streaming, replays, and daily highlights.

Which Canadian Streaming Services Offer Tour de France 2025 Live Online?

The only official service streaming the full Tour de France 2025 in Canada is FloBikes. It covers all 21 stages with live broadcasts, full replays, and daily highlights in crisp HD.

The commentary is top-notch too, with expert insights tailored to North American viewers.

But let me be clear: FloBikes is not free. If you want access, you need to subscribe:

• Monthly Plan: CAD $39.99/month
• Annual Plan: CAD $203.88/year (equivalent to ~$16.99/month)

I know it’s not the cheapest, but it’s built for serious cycling fans like me. You get smooth streaming across devices, expert breakdowns, and zero hassle.

How I Watch FloBikes While Travelling Outside Canada

If you’re already a FloBikes subscriber and planning to travel abroad (like I often do), don’t stress. You can still access your FloBikes account using a VPN or Smart DNS.

Just connect to a Canadian server with your VPN, log in to your account, and start streaming like you’re back home.

Personal Tip: I’ve used ExpressVPN during trips to Europe, the Middle East, and even the U.S. to access my Canadian streaming accounts like TSN, Crave, and Netflix Canada. It’s fast, easy to use, and it just works — even on smart TVs. I even set it up on my router once, so every device in the hotel connected as if it were in Canada.

For Tour de France 2025, I’ll definitely be using ExpressVPN while I’m away. Their current deal (67% off + 4 months free with a 30-day money-back guarantee) makes it a no-brainer.

Can I Watch the Tour de France 2025 for Free in Canada?

Yes — but only if you use a VPN to access international streams.

Free streaming services like ITVX (UK), SBS On Demand (Australia), and France TV (France) offer full Tour de France coverage, but they’re geo-restricted outside their home countries.

Here’s how I watch them from Canada:

1. ITVX – Free English Commentary

• Connect to a UK server with ExpressVPN.
• Go to www.itv.com or open the ITVX app.
• Sign up for a free account (use UK postcode W1A 1AA).
• Stream the race live on ITV4 via ITVX.

2. SBS On Demand – Free English Coverage

• Connect to an Australian server using a VPN.
• Visit www.sbs.com.au/ondemand.
• Sign up (use postal code 2000 for Sydney).
• Stream every stage for free.

3. France TV – Free French Commentary

• Connect to a French server with the help of a reliable VPN.
• Visit www.france.tv.
• No sign-up needed. Just click and watch.

I’m a huge Tour de France fan, and I know how frustrating it can be to miss out due to location or cost. But with the right tools — whether that’s FloBikes for full access or a VPN like ExpressVPN for free streams — you don’t have to miss a moment.

Choose what works for your budget and setup, and enjoy the sprints, climbs, and podium moments wherever you are!
