The 4274 km on race consisted of 22 stages, including two split stages, starting in Nancy on 24 June and finishing at the Parc des Princes in Paris on 15 July. There were four time trial stages and no rest days. After more than 30 years, the Tour was again contested by trade teams instead of national teams. Jacques Anquetil of the Saint-Raphaël 1962 team won the overall general classification, defending his title to win his third Tour de France. Jef Planckaert (Flandria 1962) placed second, 4min 59s in arrears, and Raymond Poulidor (Mercier 1962) was third, over ten minutes behind Anquetil. Anquetil's teammate Rudi Altig took the first general classification leader's yellow jersey after winning the first stage. He lost it the following day to André Darrigade of Alcyon 1962, who won stage 2a, before regaining it after winning stage three. The lead was taken by Saint-Raphaël rider Albertus Geldermans after stage six. He held it for two stages, before Darrigade took it back for the next two. Flandria rider Willy Schroeders then led the race between the end of stage nine to the end of eleven, at which point Schroeders' teammate Rik Van Looy, a major pre-race favourite, abandoned the race with an injury. The following day, British rider Tom Simpson (Gitane–Leroux) became the first rider from outside mainland Europe in history to wear the yellow jersey. He lost it to Planckaert after stage thirteen's individual time trial to Superbagnères in the Pyrenees. He held the lead for seven stages, which included the Alps. Anquetil's victory in the individual time trial of stage twenty put him in the yellow jersey, which he held until the conclusion of the race. In the other race classifications, Altig won the points classification, and Federico Bahamontes (Margnat 1962) won the mountains classification. Saint-Raphaël won the team classification. The overall awards for most combative and unluckiest were given to Eddy Pauwels (Groene Leeuw 1962) and Van Looy, respectively. Altig and Emile Daems (Philco 1962) won the most stages, with three each.

Alcyon 1929 rider Maurice De Waele won the race although he was unwell, and Desgrange believed he was illegally helped by his teammates so changed it to national teams for the 1930 Tour, conceding that he could not keep team tactics out of the race, but could prevent commercial team tactics.McGann McGann 2006 253–259 From the late-1950s to 1962, the Tour had seen the absence of top riders who had bowed to pressure from their teams' extra-sportif (non-cycling industry) sponsors to ride other races that better suited their brands.Dauncey 2012 111–112Reed 2015 66 This, and a demand for wider advertising from a declining bicycle industry, led to the reintroduction of the trade team format.McGann McGann 2006 5Hanold 2012 13 In early February 1962, 22 teams submitted applications for the race,Niet minder dan 22 ploegen No less than 22 teams nl Delpher http://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:011028060:mpeg21:p011 Limburgs Dagblad 2 February 1962 11 with the final list of 15 announced at the end of the month.

I do not intend to play for three weeks." The opening stage (known as the Grand Départ) started in Nancy, in north-eastern France. The stage passed through Luxembourg and ended in the Belgian town of Spa. Belgium hosted stages 2a, and 2b, in Herentals, and the beginning of the third in Brussels. This stage brought the race into northern France with the finish in Amiens.
