2026 National Championships Index - The top 28 countries and their respective winners

The main block of the national championships takes place this week. Right before the Tour de France, most of the world's top countries will host their own events to decide on who will wear their country's colours for the next 12 months. We keep you updated on the winners from all the main countries for both men's and women's events.

On CyclingUpToDate there will be a constant stream of news regarding the national championships, including results. In this article you will be able to find the winners of both men's and women's elite events - both road and time trial - on some of the most successful nations in the sport.

Typically, these take place in the week leading up to the Tour, resulting in new jerseys being revealed at the sport's single biggest event. In these races, only riders of the specific country can participate.

Some countries have their own rules, with some federations allowing for teams to have an unlimited number of riders such as France; whilst other nations such as Belgium make it a mandatory participation - unless there is a very justifiable reason.

Most of the time trial events will take place on the 25 and 26th of June (Wednesday and Thursday) whilst most of the road race events will take place on the 27th and 28th of June (Saturday and Sunday).
