For cycling fans in the USA, the live streaming and broadcast rights to the 2025 Tour de France are owned by Peacock / NBC. Here's what you need to know about the Peacock service, and how to tune in to watch.
The 2025 Tour de France is on NBC / Peacock
Outside the USA, options vary, but inside the USA, you'll need access to the NBC family of channels and apps to watch the 2025 Tour de France. That means a cable/satellite subscription, or a subscription to the Peacock streaming service. Peacock has the rights through 2029, so don't expect changes in the next few years.
Peacock has month-to-month subscriptions
Unlike some other streaming platforms that carry cycling coverage, Peacock offers a flexible month-to-month subscription. That allows cycling fans the option to sign up, watch the Tour de France, and simply cancel immediately afterwards with no penalty.
Occasionally Peacock offers discounted annual subscriptions for not much more than the price of a couple months - that can also be a good value if Peacock has other content you want to watch.
The best part about watching the 2025 Tour de France via Peacock streaming is the ability to watch via time-delayed replay, ideal for USA viewers, especially those on the west coast who are far behind French time zones.
What about cable / satellite channels?
If you still have a cable or satellite subscription, you can find the 2025 Tour de France on the NBC "family" of channels, which includes NBC, USA, and CNBC. Don't expect the entire race - you'll need to hop among channels for specific live coverage and highlights.
That said, Peacock is probably the preferred way to watch for serious cycling fans, as opposed to cable / satellite.
What else is on Peacock?
Notably, cycling fans will find some of the Spring Classics, such as Paris-Roubaix on Peacock - allowing you to squeeze a little more value, should you opt for an annual subscription instead of month-to-month.
What about the Tour de France Femmes?
NBC / Peacock has the Tour de France Femmes coverage locked up as well, with most of the live coverage on the app, and select stages on cable / satellite. Peacock is the best option for complete coverage, as with the Men's race.
How much does it cost?
To watch the 2025 Tour de France you'll need Peacock's "Premium" tier, as of this writing, that is $7.99 per month or $79.99 annually.
Devices for watching on Peacock
Peacock is available on desktop and laptop computers, Apple iOS (iPhone and iPad) devices, Android mobile devices, and select smart TVs. Go to https://www.peacocktv.com to subscribe or download.
Notably, the mobile apps have come a long way in the last few years and are now more reliable and consistent - worth checking out.
Does Peacock cover cyclocross?
No. The days where NBC had coverage of cyclocross are long over... the MAX streaming service is now the primary option for streaming cyclocross races in the United States. This means that cycling fans who want to watch different disciplines will need multiple streaming services in 2025.
