How to watch the 2026 Tour de Suisse live, online and on TV in the USA and UK - Dates, stages and schedules
Cycling
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 year 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's race will often coincide with the men's race in terms of route, having the same finishing locations for every stage.

Beyond editorial work, he has been closely involved in the expansion and coordination of CyclingUpToDate’s wider network, helping establish and support sister platforms across multiple languages. This includes ongoing collaboration with CiclismoAlDia (Spanish), CiclismoAtual (Portuguese), WielrennenUpToDate (Dutch), and RadsportAktuell (German), contributing to a shared editorial vision and consistent international coverage.

Within 18 months of launch, he helped grow CyclingUpToDate’s English-language platform into one of the most-read cycling news websites, built entirely from the ground up.

- his Roubaix win was amazing. not to take anything away from him - arguably one of MVDP's wins was at the expense of a WVA flat - but so many things need to line up to get one of these. He had a perfect race with fewer bike issues on an attritional course. And crazy strong as usual. Glad he got this done.mij04-11-2026
