TNT Sports has extended its exclusive deal to show the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Paris-Roubaix and more until at least 2032.

The news, announced on Monday morning, comes after the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) extended its own deal with the Tour's organisers, ASO, and the Vuelta a España's organisers, Unipublic. It is an extension of the deal signed in 2024.

It means the biggest race of the year will remain behind a paywall in the UK, after ITV gave up its rights last year. TNT Sports is also available through HBO Max, with monthly packages beginning at £30.99 a month, with 12-month contracts coming in at £25.99 a month.

The races covered by the deal include the Tours, Roubaix, the Vuelta, the Vuelta Femenina, Paris-Nice, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, among others. TNT Sports also has the rights to the Giro d'Italia until 2029.

"It is a privilege to act as the custodian of the biggest events in cycling including the Tour de France and La Vuelta and we welcome the opportunity to continue working in partnership with the EBU and ASO to showcase the very best of our sport," Trojan Paillot, SVP, Sports Rights Acquisitions and Syndication at Eurosport and TNT Sports, said in a press release.

"Over four decades, we have built a proven record of bringing fans quality cycling coverage and stories and have relentlessly pursued new ways to grow the sport. Our commitment to innovation, passion for the sport, and unmatched scale makes us the perfect partner to continue advancing cycling coverage for many years to come."
