The 2026 Tour de France is underway, and Sandbox is back on air with NBC Sports as coverage begins from Barcelona.
Now in its ninth consecutive Tour de France, Sandbox continues to help commentators explain one of the world's most tactical sports through interactive 3D visualization.
Using live race tracking data, analysts can recreate breakaways, demonstrate team tactics, explain time gaps, visualize rider positioning, and show how decisive moments develop long before the finish line.
For viewers, it transforms complex race strategy into clear, engaging storytelling.
Throughout the Tour, Sandbox will be used to analyze mountain stages, sprint finishes, team tactics, breakaways, stage profiles and race strategy as the action unfolds.
Developed by Promotheus and SegevSport, Sandbox has grown from an innovative concept into a proven live production tool used across multiple sports. Following its recent deployment during ESPN's FIFA World Cup coverage, the Tour de France marks another major international broadcast using the platform.
As the Tour continues over the coming weeks, Sandbox will once again help bring fans closer to the tactics, decisions and stories that define the world's greatest cycling race.
