The Tour de France Femmes, which features female cyclists, is slightly delayed this year due to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Competitors will hit the road beginning on August 12th for an 8-stage event from Rotterdam to Alpe d’Huez that ends on August 18th. The defending champion is Demi Vollering.

To watch the majority of the race in 2024, you’ll need the Peacock app. Fortunately, the app doesn’t require a contract so you can cancel after a month if you’re only after cycling. However, you may find some of the other exclusive live events appealing.
