Frequently asked questions

Where can I watch the Tour de l'Avenir live?
Eurosport and HBO Max carry the Tour de l'Avenir across most of Europe, HBO Max streams it in the United States, and FloBikes streams it in Canada. Coverage of under-23 racing is thinner than for a WorldTour race and markets are often confirmed only in the final days, so the schedule above is the reliable answer — it lists the broadcaster and start time for every stage in your country.

About the broadcast

The Tour de l'Avenir is organized by A-VELO, a race organizer based in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, with support from Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the company behind the Tour de France. A-VELO also runs the Tour de l'Ain and the Tour du Rwanda.

A-VELO produces the race's coverage itself: its own teams capture the pictures and deliver finished programmes to broadcasters for television, web and mobile. Every rights holder carries that same feed, which is why the pictures are identical from one country to the next and only the commentary changes.

Under-23 racing is broadcast far less widely than the WorldTour. Only a handful of events are produced for live television at all, and the rights tend to be picked up market by market rather than sold as a single worldwide package. That is why the broadcaster list here is shorter than for a Grand Tour, and why it fills out in the final days before the race rather than months ahead.
