TNT Sports, Eurosport and HBO Max extend cycling broadcast rights deal - Cycling's biggest races to remain with WBD until 2032
Cycling
Eurosport and HBO Max will remain the leading television and streaming destinations for cycling fans in Europe for years to come. The two platforms have announced an extension of their agreement with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), securing coverage of major events organised by Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) and UNIPUBLIC until at least 2032.
The new contract guarantees five more years of coverage of some of the biggest races on the international calendar, including the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, La Vuelta a España and La Vuelta Femenina. The package also includes major Classics such as Paris-Roubaix and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, in both the men’s and women’s categories, as well as other leading events on the calendar.
The agreement strengthens Eurosport and HBO Max’s position as the go-to platforms for live cycling coverage. Eurosport’s coverage will reach 50 markets and be available in 21 languages.
Viewers in the United Kingdom and Ireland can follow the races on TNT Sports, which is owned by Warner Bros Discovery, the parent company behind HBO Max and Eurosport.
Every race live, with a focus on streaming
One of the agreement’s main features is the continuation of an offer that gives viewers live coverage of every event in the package. HBO Max will provide full coverage of these races across Europe, while Eurosport will maintain its extensive television presence.
The streaming platform is also introducing new tools to improve the viewing experience. One highlight is the Multiscreen feature, which lets users watch four live camera feeds at once, alongside rider data and classification graphics. According to figures provided by the company, one in four HBO Max subscribers used the feature during the 2026 Grand Tour season.
Trojan Paillot, Eurosport and TNT Sports’ Senior Vice President of Sports Rights Acquisition and Distribution, welcomed the continuation of the partnership: “It is a privilege to bring the world’s biggest cycling events to fans, including the Tour de France and La Vuelta. We are delighted to continue working with the EBU and ASO to showcase the very best of our sport.”
The executive also highlighted the company’s four decades of experience broadcasting cycling and its commitment to innovation, growing the sport and finding new ways to bring races closer to fans.

The renewal follows a strong season for audience figures in 2026. Eurosport’s Tour de France audience in Europe rose by 9%, with record numbers in France, Spain and the Netherlands. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, TNT Sports recorded its highest-ever audience for the race, with viewership up 58% during its first edition with exclusive coverage.
HBO Max also achieved record streaming figures. The number of subscribers who watched the Tour de France rose by 8%, according to figures released by the company.
Eurosport has broadcast every edition of the Tour de France live in Europe since 1991. Its cycling coverage spans more than 300 days of live racing each season, including men’s and women’s WorldTour events, the Grand Tours, Classics and international championships in road, track, cyclocross, mountain biking and BMX, as well as the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series.

- Any artificial product should be reported.Any team that doesn't should be stripped of wins and fined.I know that this level of transparency does not and will never exist.All anyone can do is continue to test riders on a regular and surprise basis.If the test comes back clean then all any of us can assume is the rider is clean.
Brucegel19-10-2026 - Also, it's supposed to be hard to gain an advantage from drafting off Remco because he is so aero.Hills3319-10-2026
- How would stats back it up? You realise tactics involved could mean Vine saved his legs for a faster finish? Some riders can choose to go all out and fade later in the ride, others can hold steady state the whole way, and others can have a reserved start and power up later in the ride. You can't judge just by the stats unless you have power data to be able to prove Vine is riding faster even though he is putting out the same or less power (suggesting drafting). I'm sure the stats prove that Vine didn't cheat because UCI would monitor the stats to make sure this exact scenario doesn't happen (and disqualify them for drafting if the stats proved it).Pogboom19-10-2026
- Only one person would say such a thing here. Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m afraid that window of opportunity has now closed. You can beat some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can’t beat all of the people all of the time.Jumpyjohn19-10-2026
