The 2026 edition of Paris-Roubaix is on April 12, and the start list for the 'Hell of the North' is a deep one, with defending champion Mathieu van der Poel, world champion Tadej Pogacar and Wout van Aert among the contenders.

In total, there are 24 teams on the provisional start list, each fielding seven riders, resulting in a peloton of 168 riders.
All 18 UCI WorldTour teams appear on the start list with Cofidis, Tudor and Pinarello Q36.5. The automatically invited UCI ProTour teams with the wildcard invitations given to Modern Adventure Pro Cycling, Flanders-Baloise, and TotalEnergies by race organiser ASO.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech) are almost certainly set for another battle on the cobbles of Northern France, with the latter triumphing in the bout 12 months ago, but Pogacar heads into the race with three victories from three appearances.
The duo has the potential to be challenged by Wout van Aert (Visma | Lease a Bike) and Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), both of whom are on their way back after injury affected their early parts of the 2026 season.
Other notable riders include Florian Vermeersch (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech), Matthew Brennan (Visma | Lease a Bike) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility).
