Tour De France 2026 data
The 2026 Tour de France starts outside of France. On 4 July, the Grand Départ takes place in Barcelona, making it the most southerly start in the race’s history. From there, the 113th edition runs for 23 days and 21 stages, covering 3,333 km before finishing on the iconic Champs-Élysées in Paris on 26 July. Stage 1 is also a departure from recent editions: a 19.7 km team time trial, the first at the Tour since the 2019 Brussels Prologue, and the first run under classic team time trial rules since 1971.
From Barcelona, the race heads into the Pyrenees as early as stage 3, before working through the Massif Central, the Vosges, and an Alpine finale that sends the peloton up Alpe d’Huez on back-to-back days, a first in Grand Tour history.
