Cycling iCal Calendar 2026 : Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Vuelta de Espana

UCI World Tour races fill the road cycling calendar from the Santos Tour Down Under in January to the Tour of Guangxi in October, a total of 36 Men’s Elite and 27 Women’s Elite UCI World Tour race events. As an avid cyclist, you’ll no doubt watch as many as you can but how do you keep track of race dates without adding each one to your calendar?

The answer is to use this UCI iCal Calendar – a dedicated cycling calendar, which is a file type called an .ics that allows you to add calendar events to whichever calendar format you use in just a few seconds. Calendar formats supported include; Google Calendar in Gmail, Apple Calendar on an iPhone, iPad or MacBook, Microsoft Outlook Calendar or one of many others. They are a safe and secure method of viewing calendar events, such as these UCI World Tour dates.

Add over 60 UCI World Tour Cycling Road dates to your calendar in just a few seconds – safe & secure.

Instead of adding every tour date manually into your calendar, you can simply add them all in less than a minute by using this free Cycling iCal. What’s more, once you’ve added the calendar using the iCal format, you’ll never have to repeat the process as all future tour dates will be automatically updated and if you ever fall out of love with cycling (as if), you can just as easily remove the calendar.

There are a number of FAQs below which include detailed instructions on how to add the Cycling iCal to a Google Calendar, iPhone, iPad or Outlook but if you know what you’re doing and simply want to download the iCal Calendar file or link, click on the Download File (.ics) or Get Weblink button now.

In addition to the Men’s Elite races, we now include all of the Women’s Elite road races into our UCI iCal Calendar, including the Tour de France Femmes and Giro d’Italia Womens races.

What is a Cycling iCal?
An iCal is a file type that allows you to share a calendar with others. It is a safe and secure method of viewing calendar content on a specific topic, in this case, cycling.

iCal file extensions are usually .ics but they are often shared as a web address (URL), such as a Google Calendar location. This allows users to add the iCal content directly into their personal calendar but shown as a series of separate calendar events. We’ve chosen the UCI World Tour men’s and women’s elite races in this example.

The iCal, or iCalendar, format is widely used and has become the goto format for those wishing to share calendars. Software giants Google & Apple both support the iCal calendar in their Google Calendar and Apple Calendar applications. Additionally, it is also supported by IBM, Yahoo!, Mozilla Thunderbird, Novell and Microsoft Outlook. As you can see, pretty much every online primary calendar provider supports the iCal format, making it accessible, easy to implement and readily find support.

Why have some UCI Road Races been excluded from the Cycling iCal?
There are over 100 individual UCI Road Races each year, including under 23 races and Junior events but when you look at the full list, it adds up to over 600 dates. This list has been put together manually and adding over 600 dates to the calendar would have taken, well, a long time.

We have therefore focussed this UCI Cycling iCal on the main Men’s Elite and Women’s Elite road races but if this calendar proves popular, I’ll add more dates. Feedback in the comments section below will prove helpful in this regard.

What else is included in the Calendar?
Each Tour is listed as an all-day event so that it sits unobtrusively within your calendar. There is an alert set at 9:00am (London GMT) each day but these can easily be removed if you’d prefer not to receive them (Note: the Tour de France has actual start times). Each tour entry includes the Country hosting the event, a link to the official website and a reminder of the site that created this iCal so you can tell your friends!

Whilst most of the Tours are listed as a single entry, even for multi-day races, the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes and Giro d’Italia get special treatment. For these prestigious races, entries have been created for each individual stage of the tour. The listing also shows the Start & Finish locations, the length of the stage and the terrain. If feedback is positive (please use the comments section below) then I’ll look to create stage details for other major tours too.

What's the catch?
There isn’t one! The Calendar is free and doesn’t even contain any adverts. Why? Quite simply, I created this Calendar for myself and turning it into an iCal is straight forward, so I initially shared it with my cycling buddies and now I’m sharing it with everyone else.

Is it dodgy? How dare you, how very dare you! Absolutely not.

There's an error in the Calendar, what should I do?
In the first instance, please leave the details in the comments section below. I’ll then update the master calendar, which will then automatically update your calendar.
What do the different UCI Road Race Elite Classifications mean?
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), is the world’s governing body in the sport of bicycle racing, and they are the organisation that classifies races according to a rating scale.

The rating is represented by a code made of two or three parts and indicates both the type or style of race (the first part), and its importance or difficulty (the second and third parts, lower being harder). A higher rated race will result in the successful riders receiving more world ranking points.

The first part of the code denotes whether the race is one-day ‘1’ or a multi-day stage race ‘2’. The second part of the code indicates the race ranking, from highest to lowest these are: .UWT (UCI World Tour) or .WWT (Women’s World Tour), .Pro, .1 and .2.

For example, 2.WWT indicates it’s a 2 or more day Women’s World Tour Elite race.
