NBCSN will broadcast weekday stages, while weekend stages appear on Peacock. The race starts in Monaco, France and Andorra and concludes in Granada, Spain after 21 stages over 23 days. The first stage, an individual time trial in Monaco, kicks off on August 22 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). Notable stage winners recently include Tadej Pogacar, who won the 2025 race for his fifth Tour de France victory, and Primoz Roglic, who took home the maillot rojo in 2023. Pogacar is predicted to be the frontrunner again this year, with other general classification contenders like Matthew Brennan, Andreas Leknessund, and Bryan Coquard also vying for the top spot.",
