The 2026 UCI Women’s WorldTour maps out a global season of 28 races across 11 countries and three continents, covering 77 days of racing. It begins in January in Australia with the Santos Tour Down Under (dates TBC) and wraps up on 18 October at the Tour of Guangxi in China.
Notable changes include the promotion of Dwars Door Vlaanderen to WorldTour status and the shift of the Giro d’Italia Women to late May and the Tour de France Femmes to August, one week after the men’s edition. The Tour of Britain Women finds a new home in August as well, and Romandie returns to its September slot. Lukas Knöfler highlights some of these key changes in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the 2026 WorldTour Calendars.
In addition to the UCI WorldTour races, the 2026 Road World Championships will be held from 20 to 27 September in Montréal.
