The great news for Aussie cycling fans is that all the action from the Tour Down Under 2020 is set to be broadcast in full via Australia's own free-to-air Seven Network.

The network's coverage will also be available live online for viewers in Australia via the network's 7Plus streaming service.

Don't worry if you're out of the country and want to catch that 7Plus broadcast - a VPN will let you watch as if you were back at home on your laptop, mobile or other TV streaming device.

For UK residents, the main challenge will be to be awake overnight to watch. But at least it's free, as the FreeSports channel is showing live coverage.

You'll see the station listed on freeview, Sky, Virgin, BT TV and more. Or, if you'd sooner watch online, then you can live stream the Tour Down Under on the TVPlayer.com website.

Eurosport will also be showing highlights.

If you want to watch the drama unfold as it happens but you're outside the UK this week,  you do have the option of using one of our best VPNs as described above. Set your location back to the UK and watch FreeSport like you were back in Blighty.

The Tour Down Under 2020 is being aired by NBC Sports Live Extra in the US. This will be streamed online so if you have the app then you can enjoy it anywhere. However for those that don't have access to this stream there are other options.

For the most extensive coverage NBC has to offer, you can subscribe to NBC Sports Gold, which is offering a Cycling Pass for $54.99, delivering live, on-demand and commercial free coverage of the Tour.

If you're out of the US but still want to watch, then don't forget to explore the VPN route above.

Canadians will be able to get in on the Tour Down Under 2020 action via FloBikes which streams online so you can watch from anywhere.

A monthly subscription will cost you $30 while a yearly account will set you back $150 ($12.50 per month), which will give you access to coverage of major cycling events throughout the year.

Not in Canada to catch that Flobikes stream? Well you know the answer by now...using a VPN is the way to make sure you don't miss a moment. 

Sky Sports will be showing the Tour Down Under in nearby New Zealand. We can't see any free ways to watch, annoyingly. For mobile and tablet users, be sure to grab the Sky Go app.

And if you're a subscriber but find yourself abroad while the event is on, then cast you eyes upwards to read about how using a VPN can help avoid geo-blocking.
