The 2026
Tour de Suisse will be taking place from the 17th to the 21st of June this year, a
special edition in which the race has been thinned down from eight to five race days. Tadej Pogacar headlines the final pre-Tour de France World Tour event, which every years brings in a luxurious startlist. Below, you'll find all the information on how to watch the race live and on TV, including coverage in the UK and the USA.
The race used to be eight days, but has had a format change this year. The race was reduced to five stages, which has also helped promote a stronger startlist featuring Tadej Pogacar, Mathieu van der Poel, Tom Pidcock and Primoz Roglic as some of the main stars present. Many of the stages, including the final queen stage, will take place in a circuit format, with the peloton racing by some of the most popular locations on more than one occasion - whilst the Tour de Suisse Women will often coincide with the men's race in terms of route - having the same finishing locations for every stage.
