How to watch Tour de la Provence from anywhere
If you're outside your usual country when the Tour de la Provence is on, you might think you can't watch the race due to geo-restrictions, but you'd be wrong.
A VPN is a nifty piece of internet security software that can alter your device's IP address to make it seem like it's in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster's T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming services and enjoy your coverage as if you were back home.
There are loads of great VPN options out there, but for a VPN that's brilliant at streaming and is also TechRadar's pick for overall best VPN in the world, we'd recommend NordVPN.
Where can I watch the Tour de la Provence in the UK?
Fans in the UK can watch the Tour de la Provence through Discovery+.
Discovery+ is the streaming platform for Eurosport, but the Tour de la Provence won't make it onto linear television. In any case, Eurosport is being folded into TNT Sports at the end of this month, and Discovery+ subscriptions are shooting up from £6.99-a-month to £30.99.
Existing customers can still watch this one on the old rate but any new customers will have to pay the new rate.
Who is showing Tour de la Provence in the US and Canada?
