How to watch?
Curious about how to watch the 2026 Amstel Gold Race? Discover it in our complete how-to-watch guide, featuring a full overview of all broadcasters and streaming options.
Route
The Amstel Gold Race 2026 covers 257.2 km from Maastricht to Valkenburg and features 33 short, steep climbs. The first 170 km include 20 climbs that gradually wear riders down on constantly rolling terrain.
The race intensifies with 84 km remaining at the first ascent of the Cauberg, a key tactical point. A decisive sequence follows with Gulperberg, Kruisberg, Eyserbosweg, Fromberg and Keutenberg in quick succession, often splitting the peloton. The finale consists of a 19.9 km circuit including two more Cauberg ascents, with the last crest just 1.7 km before the finish, favouring explosive puncheurs.
Explore the full route in our preview.
Favourites
Remco Evenepoel starts as top favourite after strong spring form and aims for revenge after last year. Defending champion Mattias Skjelmose returns but showed slightly weaker form recently. Tadej Pogačar remains a major threat despite last year’s setback.
Matteo Jorgenson targets the Ardennes with improving form. Outsiders include Ben Healy, Quinn Simmons and Romain Grégoire. Experienced contenders like Julian Alaphilippe and Marc Hirschi seek a comeback. Depth is high, making tactical racing and timing on the final climbs decisive for victory.
