In the coming days, there will be a flurry of one-day races in the Iberic peninsula which will host many of the world's best: The Figueira Champions Classic, Clasica de Almeria and Clasica Jaen Paraiso Interior. Here is where and when to watch tem live and on TV, including in the United States of America and United Kingdom.

The Figueira Champions Classic was created in 2023, seeing the success of the Volta ao Algarve, which is now used as a racing block for the riders looking to seize the good weather in coastal Portugal at this time of winter. Casper Pedersen won the first race back in 2023, and the following year there was a big success in the triumph of Remco Evenepoel, a win which saw the race's reputation quickly grow into what it is today. In 2025, Local favourite António Morgado won with an attack on the climb to the Serra da Boa Viagem (Rua Parque Florestal) which then saw him take a solo win.

The 2026 Figueira Champions Classic will be held on Saturday the 14th of February. Stage dates and times (in Central European Time: CET) are as follows:

The race will be broadcast on the traditional channels, most notably Discovery, MAX and Eurosport.

In the United States and Canada it will be possible to follow the race on FloBikes; In the United Kingdom it will be possible to keep up with the race on TNT Sports; Whilst in Portugal Sport TV will broadcast the race live.

The Clasica de Almeria was created back in 1988 and quickly it gained an international reputation, featuring foreign winners right from its fifth edition after four years of fully Spanish podiums. It is a race that does not have a fixed profile, and so over the years we've had different types of winners. However since 2008, it's a race that reinvented itself for the sprinters specifically, and there it found its own place in the calendar as one of the most prestigious early-season sprinter challenges.

And the list of winners is not one to shy away from. Over the past 15 years we've had top sprinters such as Theo Bos, Michael Matthews, Sam Bennett, Mark Cavendish, Caleb Ewan, Pascal Ackermann and Alexander Kristoff take victories. In 2024 Olav Kooij was in the middle of his impressive Visma run; whilst in 2025 it was Cofidis' Milan Fretin who took the bunch sprint victory over Max Kanter.

The 2026 Clasica de Almeria will be held on Sunday, the 15th February. Stage dates and times (in Central European Time: CET) are as follows:

The race will be broadcast on the traditional channels, most notably Discovery, MAX and Eurosport.

In the United States and Canada it will be possible to follow the race live on FloBikes; In the United Kingdom it will be possible to keep up with the race on TNT Sports.

The addition of the Clasica Jaen Paraiso Interior to the calendar has been an absolute success, with its many gravel sectors providing for a different early-season challenge; which is used as many riders as a serious goal, and for others as the most specific preparation possible ahead of Strade Bianche - whilst it is included in the middle of other Spanish events that take place in the same time period.

Alexey Lutsenko won the first edition in 2022, and Tadej Pogacar won it back in 2023, bringing the race to the absolute spotlight of the cycling world for a brief period of time. Oier Lazkano won the 2024 edition with a breakthrough breakaway exhibition - which cannot be looked at in the same way now, following his suspension by the UCI - whilst 12 months ago it was former World Champion Michal Kwiatkowski who soared back to have a strong comeback win.
