A total of 21 teams have been selected to compete in this year's Tour de France Femmes, the full collection of 14 UCI Women's WorldTour teams and seven UCI ProTeams.

The number reflects a reduction from 22 teams across the previous three years, as the UCI held steady by including the full collection of ProTeams to complete the lineup. While no Continental teams received invitations for a second year in a row, this is the first year that UCI rules do not allow for the lower-level women's teams at WorldTour races.
