• Men’s and women’s races will both visit UK for three days
• ‘The biggest free spectator event ever hosted in the UK’

The men’s Tour de France will return to Britain in July 2027 with a spectacular city-centre Grand Départ in Edinburgh and three stages that trace a route from Scotland through England and into Wales.

It will be the third Tour race start in Britain in the past 20 years, after London in 2007 and Yorkshire in 2014, and the most logistically demanding Grand Départ in the century-long history of the race.
