How to watch the 2026 AlUla Tour live and on TV in the UK and USA - Dates, stages and schedules
CyclingSunday, 25 January 2026 at 14:00
The 2026 AlUla Tour will be taking place from the 27th to the 31st of January and will open up the action on the Asia Tour. In Saudi Arabia, the young race will host some top sprinters and several other riders throughout its five stages. Here is where to watch the race live, including on the United Kingdom and United States of America.
The AlUla Tour has rapidly grown into one of the Middle East’s most prestigious early-season professional cycling stage races, being held right before the Tour of Oman and UAE Tour to form a series of races in the region. The race was first held in 1999 but was short-lived. In 2002 it had its last edition in years, and returned finally in 2020 with a different image and status.
Promoted by the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) — the same organisers behind the Tour de France — it has gained a strong reputation and leverage to bring in big names. Former race winners include Phil Bauhaus, Ruben Guerreiro... And in its two most recent editions none other than Simon Yates and Tom Pidcock. However its pan-flat stages, combined with the hot weather, provides ideal chances for the sprinters to open up their season with a win.

ChillingCyclist25-01-2026 - Transposing your own feelings onto a different generation doesn’t work. They certainly won’t be feeling pressured by data work which every young person and amateur has grown up with. The ones suffering are probably the generation that had to go through the changes. Plenty of youngsters are riding anything but robotically.Mistermaumau25-01-2026
- Correct, though any defective device might become hard to replace. Given Visma’s finances, they’d have no problem employing one of the out-of-work engineers for a while for support services. I assume someone thought of that?Mistermaumau25-01-2026
- Well, those arguments have just been Chrissified. Much as I like him, Primoz is at best fighting for a very crowded, disputed and precarious 4th and that’s only in tours / grand tours. Used to be 2nd, unlucky not to have been best longer, perhaps coming to cycling too late. Hope he can take advantage of the chance he’s been given which in no way indicates anyone is avoiding a challenge. Winning things the most important objective of any team and you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.Mistermaumau25-01-2026
- Ok, not a shark but like I said, what’s the point to worry about cows in India preventing races from becoming popular :-) In fact, in today’s world, such things are actually probably going to help attract viewers. Edit (and I almost missed the dingoe polemic)Mistermaumau25-01-2026
- Funny, in cyclocross we just had an article suggesting you should just sit on MVDP’s wheel from the moment he goes. Personally, I’d say the best tactic for someone a little better than TB is to try sit on their wheel and do absolutely nothing to help them. Someone like e.g. Remco or WVA is sure to win that way (and at least another dozen have a good chance), fortunately that’s not in their character. It may even have the effect of annoying them so much they abandon their move allowing the peleton back. Seems more like other teams need to learn to pre-emt their attacks at all times and any well-organised team can counter their attacks even if it means holding back until a climb has been completed.Mistermaumau25-01-2026
- Primoz is not beating Tadej anywhere, what a ridiculous comment.mij25-01-2026

- I don't want to get in the way of a sensational headline, but just because the company went bankrupt doesn't mean their product is unavailable for Paris Roubaix, which is 3 mo away.rada25-01-2026
- The scary thing for all other crossers is this. Wout gets 2 flats and finished 7th place. MVDP gets 2 flats and cruises to victory. What a race he showed today.mij25-01-2026
