The route for the 2027 Tour de France is expected to be officially announced on October 22, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès Porte-Maillot in Paris by A.S.O. and its president Christian Prudhomme. The 114th edition of the "Grande Boucle" — a term used to describe the prestigious cycling race — will take place from July 2 to July 25, 2027. The organizers have already revealed the route for the first stages in the United Kingdom, with Edinburgh as the starting city. The first three stages will take place in Scotland, England, and Wales, with the peloton — the group of cyclists — passing through moorland landscapes and rural areas before entering England for an arrival at the castle of Carlisle. The second stage will start in Keswick, in the heart of the Lake District national park, before arriving in Liverpool. The third stage will be entirely in Wales, between Welshpool and Cardiff, with seven ascents listed, including in the former mining basin. The first three stages are scheduled for July 2, 3, and 4, 2027, with a rest day on July 5 due to the transfer from the United Kingdom to France. The remaining stages will take place in France, with details including a rest day in Annecy on July 12 and another in Toulouse on July 19. The final stage will conclude in Paris on July 25, finishing at the Champs-Élysées — a famous avenue in the city known for its luxury shops and annual celebrations. The Tour de France Femmes with Zwift 2027 will also be announced on October 22, starting in Great Britain and taking place from July 30 to August 8, 2027. This event is a women’s version of the Tour de France, featuring both real-world and virtual racing elements through the Zwift platform, which allows cyclists to race in a digital environment.
