There are 18 teams taking part in the 2026 Czech Tour, including three UCI WorldTour squads: Soudal Quick-Step, Netcompany-Ineos and NSN Cycling Team.

They are joined by ten UCI ProTeams, including Italian squads Bardiani CSF Faizanè, Polti VisitMalta and Solution Tech-Nippo Rali, as well as the Italian-Hungarian MBH Bank Colpack Ballan CSB. Five UCI Continental teams complete the field, including the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe academy team.

The upgrade to 2.Pro status places the Czech Tour on the UCI ProSeries calendar after previously being classified as a UCI 2.1 race. The step up is expected to attract stronger fields and bring increased television coverage across the four stages.
