The 2026 Tour de France will begin in Barcelona, Spain with a team time trial, before heading north into France where it will enter the Pyrenees as early as stage three. Following that mountain range the race heads north to Bordeaux before cutting diagonally across the country, through the Massif Central, onto the Vosges, before heading down into the Alps and two stage finishes up Alpe d'Huez.
It will be the fourth foreign Grand Départ in five years, with three stages in Spain, before the race returns to France.
