How to watch cycling in 2026? The 2026 road cycling season on television

TNT Sports and Discovery+ are where you can find the action for the 2026 cycling season.

For television viewers who have a subscription to the TNT Sports channels, you can find the action on one of the designated channels or by pressing the red button.

Discovery+ serves as the streaming platform for online viewers in the UK, with a current plan available at £30.99 a month.

In the United States, there are three primary ways to watch the 2026 cycling season, Peacock, HBO Max, and FloBikes.

To tune into the ASO races such as the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and Vuelta a España, you'll need a subscription to Peacock. There are two types of subscription available: Peacock Premium, which comes with adverts for $10.99/month or $109.99/year. The second subscription available is Premium Plus, which comes with no adverts for the increased price of $16.99/month or $169.99/year.

HBO Max broadcasts races including Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo and the Giro d'Italia. The standard plan is $16.99/month or $169.99/year, meanwhile the premium plan is $20.99/month or $209.99/year. 

Finally, a pro account for FloBikes, which comes with adverts, costs $29.99/month or $149.99/year, allowing you to tune into races such as the UCI Road World Championships.

FloBikes is the primary place to go to catch all the action of the road season in Canada. A pro account for FloBikes costs $29.99/month or $150 per year.

Fans in Australia can enjoy plenty of free coverage courtesy of the SBS On Demand online platform, which doesn't cost anything to join.

SBS shows ASO races such as the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and La Vuelta a España.

Seven Network / 7plus will provide coverage for the Santos Tour Down Under, which kicks off the road season, also free-to-air.

A Stan Sport subscription, which allows you to tune into races such as the UCI World Championships, costs AU$20/month.

In Europe, some countries provide more free-to-air coverage than others. For example, France TV provides coverage in France, RAI in Italy, Sporza in Belgium, NOS in the Netherlands and RTVE Play in Spain for some of the biggest races on the calendar, including the Tour de France.

A subscription to Discovery +, HBO Max or Max, depending on your territory, will provide the majority of coverage for the 2026 road season, and membership prices also vary depending on your location.

Most streaming platforms are geo-restricted, meaning access depends on your location. If the action for the 2026 cycling season isn’t available in your country, you can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to change your virtual location and access the services you normally use at home. Availability may still vary depending on local broadcasting rights.
