Watching Tour de France Stage 18: TV Information, Live Streams, Time Schedules, and Details for the Queen Stage to Col de la Loze
The 18th stage of the 2025 Tour de France is set to be a thrilling one, with over 5,000 metres of elevation gain and the final climb at the 2,304-metre-high Col de la Loze. Here's a guide on how to catch the action live, worldwide.

Bypassing Geo-Restrictions
If you are outside the above regions and face geo-blocks, or cannot access the official stream due to local rights, consider using a reliable VPN service. Connect to a server in the country where the stream is accessible (e.g., UK for ITV, US for NBC, Canada for FloBikes). Ensure the VPN is known for bypassing geo-blocks on streaming platforms, as some streaming services actively block VPNs. After connecting via VPN, access the broadcaster’s website or app to watch the live stream.
Please note that using VPNs to bypass geo-restrictions may violate the terms of service of broadcasters; use discretion and be aware of legal implications.
