How to watch the 2026 Muscat Classic and Tour of Oman live and on TV in the UK and USA - Dates, stages and schedules

The Muscat Classic and the Tour of Oman are raced in consecutive days and present the country of Oman with its opportunity to broadcast racing internationally. The races take place from the 6th to 11th of February and feature a wide array of courses that suit plenty riders. Here is where and when to watch it live and on TV, including in the United States of America and United Kingdom.

The Muscat Classic was created in 2023, so as to provide the riders making the trip to Oman to have more racing in their calendar and more UCI points to hand out. The one-day race usually features a route with climbs previously used in the stage-race, and suits both sprinters and puncheurs.

The race was on by Jenthe Biermans in its first edition, whilst Finn Fisher-Black won in 2024 and last year, it was Tudor's Rick Pluimers who won in a sprint from the riders who survived the day's climbing.

The 2026 Muscat Classic will be held on the 6th of February. Stage dates and times (in Central European Time: CET) are as follows:

The race is not scheduled to be broadcast on Eurosport, Discovery/Max and the traditional channels.

However in the race's official website, there are indications that it will be broadcast in channels including those below. It is unclear whether the organizers are instead indicating channels that have deals with the race.

The Tour of Oman has grown since its debut in 2010 into one of the most respected early-season stage races outside Europe. Organized by (ASO), the race became a regular fixture on the UCI calendar, first as part of the UCI Asia Tour and, more recently, in the UCI ProSeries—a status it retains in 2026. It is a traditional early-season race for many years now, chosen by the riders due to the warm weather conditions, variety of stage profiles and also proper climbing tests early in the year.

The race has a list of winners that is to say the least enviable. Fabian Cancellara won its first edition back in 2010, whilst over the years Chris Froome has used the race twice and won the overall classification - one against Alberto Contador and Cadel Evans; Vincenzo Nibali won it back in 2016 before conquering the Giro d'Italia; and other top riders such as Matteo Jorgenson and Adam Yates have now won the most recent editions in the 2020's. In 2025 Yates defended his title successfully, having consistency in the race's climbs to bring UAE a top victory.
