Happy New Year. Here’s the pro cycling calendar for 2026, free to download for your diary or phone.
It’s packed with all the men’s and women’s pro road races. So whether you’re scouting for some points-rich 1.Pro race or want to plan some sofa time here are all the races in a user-friendly format.
You can view the 2026 race calendar in this blog post here or at inrng.com/calendar page all year.
You can also download it for your phone, desktop organiser etc. You can save the ical file but the best way is to subscribe so that any updates are quietly pushed out automatically to your diary. Every time this calendar comes out from the UCI changes happen with races swapping dates and others being cancelled.
Here is the iCal link to copy-paste into your device:
By the way it’s a Google service, you’re not downloading anything from a random blog. Google/Android users can click on Google Calendar link on the calendar frame above. For tech tips and suggestions for how to subscribe across different devices and other FAQs, see inrng.com/calendar.
As ever it’s all the pro road races. So if you see two events on the same day it’s probably not a typo but one for the women and the other for men. All races have their UCI labels, these are explained over at inrng.com/calendar too.
What’s Different this year?
There are plenty of new races, a good number in Asia among them but also the intriguing Lyon-Torino stage race at the start of July and several in Italy including a revived Tour of Sardinia and the new Giro della Magnia Grecia in the heel of the Italian peninsula, the ancient Greek-speaking area which brings us to some new races in Greece too.
There’s more racing in the US too with the Maryland Cycling Classic turning from a one day event into a three day stage race, while Philadelphia Cycling Classic making a comeback.
The Tour Colombia was back but, as was the Herald Sun Tour, but they’ve been cancelled for 2026. Other races will probably meet the same fate which is why subscribing works well.
Some stage races like the Al Ula Tour, the Région Pays de La Loire Tour and the Czech Tour get promoted from 2.1 to 2.Pro races, so more UCI points on offer and the ability to invite more World Tour teams.
Arguably the big change is the women’s Giro which moves to June and so avoids a calendar clash with the men’s Tour de France. If you see June’s Tour of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in the men’s World Tour… remember this is the rebranded Critérium du Dauphiné. AuRa Tour would sound so much better.
Meanwhile rival race the Tour de Suisse sees the men’s and women’s races will run concurrently. The women’s race goes from four to five days while the men’s event shrinks from eight to five days and it’ll be interesting to see what kind of a field the men’s version attracts in this shorter format ahead of the Tour de France.
