Tour de France 2027 will depart from Edinburgh (for men’s race) and Leeds (for women’s race).
Tour de France returns to Great Britain as it was been confirmed that Edinburgh and Leeds will host the opening stages of the men’s and women’s Tour de France in 2027. The plans were known already but the routs have been detailed, with the first three stages of each competition taking place around Scotland, England and Wales.
According to the UK government, the Grand Departs of both races will “pass within an hour’s drive of 60% of the population”, claiming it will be “the most accessible major sporting spectacle ever held in Britain”.
