How to watch Tour de France stages 14 and 15: live stream the action

Ion Izagirre (Team Cofidis) wins stage 12 of the Tour de France 2023

The fight for the Maillot Jaune will return to the spotlight over the next few days, so chances are you'll be looking for a Tour de France stages 14 and 15 live stream to stay up-to-date with the action. The Tour de France is free-to-air on ITVX (UK) and SBS On-Demand (AUS). Make sure you know how to watch for free with a VPN from anywhere.

Friday’s summit finish on the iconic Grand Colombier didn’t disappoint. Michał Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) climbed to an impressive solo victory on stage 13 after dispatching the remnants of the day’s breakaway on the steeper gradients of the final climb. The duel for the Maillot Jaune also heated up on the fearsome ascent. After attacking in the final kilometre, Tadej Pogačar was able to distance Jonas Vingegaard and took eight seconds back with the time bonus for his third place on the stage. The Dane however did enough to stay atop the General Classification, with a very slim margin of nine seconds ahead of two more difficult mountain stages, and more time bonus seconds available.

Climbing and descending skills will be needed on stage 14, the first stage in the Alps.  The 152km route from Annemasse to Morzine les Portes du Soleil packs in five climbs for a total of 4,100 meters of elevation gain. 

At the end of this demanding weekend, stage 15 takes the riders from Les Gets Les Portes du Soleil to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc. This particularly undulating 179km route through Haute-Savoie will take the riders over the Col de la Forclaz de Montmin, the Col de la Croix Fry and then Col des Aravis followed by the famous descent of Demancy.

With the race in the Alps ending the second week, and with so many questions yet to be answered, it’s good to know there are plenty of channels around the world broadcasting Tour de France 2023 live streams to help you keep up with the action. Here's how to watch stages 13, 14 and 15 of the Tour de France 2023.

Setting up a VPN is simple – just download, install, open the app and select your location.

Tour de France stages 14 and 15: the routes

Stage 14: Annemasse - Morzine les Portes du Soleil (Saturday, July 15)
Stage 14 is yet another mountain stage as the Tour really gets serious. It’s unlikely that the riders will enjoy the view of Lake Geneva at the start of the stage, as the 4,200 metres of climbing will be on everyone’s mind, and especially the climbs of the Col de la Ramaz followed by Col de Joux Plane passes. The latter, 11.6km at 8.5%, will be a real test for a reduced peloton, before a downhill finish into Morzine. 

Stage 15: Les Gets Les Portes du Soleil to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc (Sunday, July 16)
The final day of week two, stage 15, is yet another day in the Alps before a rest day in Saint-Gervais-Mont-Blanc. There is nothing as fearsome as the previous days, but 4527m of climbing shouldn't be taken lightly. The route through Haute-Savoie will take the riders over the Col de la Forclaz de Montmin, the Col de la Croix Fry and the Col des Aravis. The contenders will probably be attacking each other on the final climb to Le Bettex in the Amerands climb, where some sections touch 17% gradient.
