How to watch the Tour de France Femmes 2025: TV & streaming information for Saturday's decisive climb of the Col de la Madeleine

The 2025 Tour de France Femmes is drawing to a thrilling conclusion, and Cyclingnews is here with all the information you could possibly need on TV coverage and live streams so you can watch the Tour de France Femmes in all its glory.

The 2025 Tour de France Femmes kicked off in Vannes on July 26 and finishes on August 3 at the summit finish of Châtel Les Portes du Soleil, with nine big days of racing along the way.

Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) began her title defence strongly against last year's second-place finisher Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez). Other major contenders who will be battling for the yellow jersey during the race's final weekend include Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal), Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease A Bike) as the cream of the crop of the women's peloton light up the French roads.

So far, the race has delivered tense hilly battles in Brittany, with Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease A Bike) scoring a big opening day win, sprint domination by Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime), history made with the first African yellow jersey and first African stage winner Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal), and a big breakthrough by double stage winner, Maëva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ).

At the weekend, the Tour climbed high into the Alps for the decisive stages, beginning on stage 8 to the summit of the Col de la Madeleine on Saturday, where Ferrand-Prévot dominated the stage and took a commanding lead in the overall classification, and then to Châtel for the final stage 9 on Sunday where the overall champion will be crowned.
