While you can tune in to the Tour de France Femmes on Peacock for a subscription fee, you can also watch every stage of the race for free with the help of a VPN. By using a VPN with a location set to a different country, such as Australia, you can tune in to all the cycling stages on SBS On Demand which shows them all for free. Other free platforms include Belgium’s VRT Max and Spain’s RTVE, which you can access by changing your location settings accordingly.

A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the Vuelta a España this summer, a VPN can help you out.
