Tour Down Under 2020 live stream: how to watch cycling online from anywhere

By Tech Online Things

Cycling fans rejoice! The opening race of the World Tour calendar kicks is here with the Santos Tour Down Under 2020 in South Australia. Our guide below will take you through the steps you’ll need to live stream Tour Down Under 2020 cycling action no matter where you are in the world.

Featuring all 17 UCI WorldTeams, the Tour Down Under is an early indicator of who’ll be challenging for the upcoming Spring Classics.

Much like the Australian Open tennis, organisers of the Santos Tour Down Under have confirmed the 2020 race will be going ahead as planned, despite the bushfires ravaging Australia, however air quality will be monitored throughout.

With 921.2km of riding and 12,047m / 39,524ft of climbing, the riders will be glad that the weather looks set to be kinder this year, with temperatures expected to be in the low 20 degrees for the duration. With its uphill finish, stage 2 in Sterling looks set to be a key moment, while an even more demanding uphill finish in Paracombe on stage 3, and a final gruelling flossing stage finale atop Willunga Hill makes this a race that perhaps favours strong climbers rather than sprinters.

South African Daryl Impey is looking to notch up a third-straight overall victory in the race, but will likely face stiff competition this year from the dual Aussie challenge of Richie Porte and Rohan Dennis.

You can watch live all the action from southern Australia using our live streaming guide to the Tour Down Under 2020.

We have details of all the Australia, UK, US and Canada broadcasters further down this guide. The good news for cycling fans in Australia is that it’s on free-to-air TV.

If you’re obsessed by watching the cycling and refuse to miss a stage – even when you’re away on business or on holiday – then you’ll be disappointed to see your domestic coverage geo-blocked when you try to stream online from abroad. That’s where utilising a VPN (Virtual Private Network) really helps. It let’s you virtually change the ISP of your laptop, tablet or mobile to one that’s back in your home country. Thus letting you watch as if you were back there.
