The 2027 Tour de France begins in Edinburgh on Friday 2 July with an opening stage through Midlothian, Dumfries & Galloway, and the Scottish Borders to Carlisle.

Stage two on Saturday 3 July restarts in Cumberland at Keswick, heading south through Westmorland & Furness and Lancashire to a finish alongside Liverpool’s waterfront.

Stage three of the men’s race takes place in Wales on Sunday 4 July, heading from Welshpool in Powys to a finish in Cardiff, via the tough climbs of Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Caerphilly. 

Chris Weaver, leader of Cardiff Council, said: "The Tour de France is one of the world's most iconic spectacles, attracting more spectators than any other annual sporting event and drawing millions of fans to its route each year.

"Hosting the finish of the final stage of the Grand Départ in Cardiff will be a historic occasion for our capital city, as this is the first time the Tour has come to Wales.

"Being part of this global event will place Cardiff firmly in the international spotlight once again, helping to boost the local economy, support jobs and showcase everything our city has to offer.

"The benefits will extend well beyond race day, bringing communities together and creating a lasting legacy for future generations. We are proud to play our part in this major event and look forward to welcoming competitors, supporters and visitors to Cardiff in July 2027."
