The route for the **2027 Tour de France** will be officially revealed on October 22, 2026, at an event in Paris held at the Palais des Congrès Porte-Maillot. This announcement will be made by A.S.O., the organization responsible for the race, and its president, Christian Prudhomme. The **Tour de France** is one of the most prestigious cycling events in the world, attracting top cyclists from around the globe. Alongside the men’s race, the **Tour de France Femmes with Zwift 2027** will also be announced on this date. The women’s race will begin in Great Britain and take place from July 30 to August 8, 2027.
The **2027 Tour de France** will start with three stages in the United Kingdom. The first stage will begin in Edinburgh and end in Carlisle, covering 184 kilometers. The second stage will start in Keswick, located in the Lake District National Park, and finish in Liverpool, covering 223 kilometers. The third stage will be held entirely in Wales, starting in Welshpool and ending in Cardiff, also covering 223 kilometers. These stages will include several climbs, particularly in the former mining regions of Wales, which are known for their challenging terrain.
After the initial stages in the UK, the race will move to France, with a rest day on July 5, 2027, to allow time for the transfer from the United Kingdom to France. The remaining stages will take place across various regions of France, including Normandy, Brittany, the Loire Valley, the French Alps, and the south of France. Specific stages include a time trial in Chambord, a stage in the French Alps, and a final stage that will conclude in Paris on the Champs-Élysées, a famous avenue in the city.
The inclusion of the UK in the route marks a significant change for the **Tour de France**, as it will be the first time the race starts outside of France. The decision to include the UK and Wales reflects the growing interest in cycling across Europe and aims to bring more international attention to the event. Fans and participants alike are eagerly awaiting the full route details, which will be revealed in Paris later this year.
