We’re past the midway point of the 2023 Tour de France, and the gap between general classification leader Jonas Vingegaard and his main rival for the yellow jersey, Tadej Pogačar, still stands at 17 seconds. The tension is almost unbearable as we head into a trio of mountanous stages. You can watch Tour de France stages 13, 14 and 15 live online and for free on ITVX in the U.K., and on SBS on Demand in Australia.
Read on and we’ll show you how to watch Tour de France stages 13, 14 and 15 from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

Egan Bernal will testify that the Grand Colombier can break a Tour and Pogačar will attest that it can make one, too. Despite one of the shortest parts of the race at 138km, Stage 13, on what’s likely to be a particularly poignant Bastille Day, could have a big say in its outcome. The final 17.4km of the stage average out at 7.4%, with the last 3.4km of climbing at 9.2%.
Stage 14 starts in brutal fashion with multiple short but challenging climbs littering the first half of the route, including Col de Cou and Col du Feu. After that, the riders have to tackle the Col de la Ramaz, a 13.9km slog at 7.1%, followed by the Col de Joux Plane, which rises at 8.5% over 11.6km, to complete the 152km journey from Annemasse to Morzine on the eastern border.
The second and final rest day of the race will be preceded by Stage 15, an undulating 179km route between the ski resorts of Les Gets and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. After a couple of teasers, the Col de la Croix Fry is where the going gets tough. The 11.3km climb averages out at 7%, before a near-vertical ascent up the Côte de Amerands and the Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, which isn’t much friendlier-looking.
Here’s how to watch Tour de France live streams of stages 13, 14 and 15 online from anywhere.
FREE Tour de France live streams
If you live in the U.K., Australia, France, Italy, Spain or Belgium, then you can look forward to a FREE Tour de France live stream in 2023.
That’s because the free-to-air ITV4 and its ITVX streaming service in the U.K., SBS and SBS on Demand streaming service in Australia, France.TV in France, Rai Play in Italy, Teledeporte in Spain, and RTBF in Belgium all have rights to the action.
But what if you’re based in one of those countries but aren’t at home to catch that free Tour de France coverage? Maybe you’re on holiday and don’t want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you’d usually be able to watch for free at home?
Don’t worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We’ll show you how to do that below.
Tour de France live streams around the world
It’s only natural that you might want to watch a Tour de France live stream from your home country, but what if you’re not there when the race is on?
Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you’re surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you’re in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
For instance, a Brit who’s currently in the U.S. could watch Tour de France live streams on ITVX, even though they’re not in the U.K..
They’re totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We’ve tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It’s fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.S. and want to view a British service, you’d select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITVX or another website and watch Tour de France.
