2026 Men’s and Women’s Road World Championships: Course, Schedule, and Entrants

The 2026 Road World Championships will once again bring together the world’s cycling elite for two races that promise to be particularly competitive, on September 26 and 27 in Montreal, Canada. The men (273 km and 3,800 m of elevation gain) and the women (180 km and 2,570 m of elevation gain) will face a demanding course, where the race profile and the challenges in the final kilometers could play a decisive role in the battle for the rainbow jersey. Find the detailed course maps for both events, the schedule, and TV broadcast channels here, as well as the lists of registered male and female riders.
