There’s a week of cycling at the World Cycling Championships in Canada. The event kicks off with the time trials and concludes with the road races. In between, the up-and-coming talents will have the chance to show what they can do. All TV broadcasts, including the start times for the live coverage, can be found in our table. The time difference may cause some confusion regarding the start times – the official website for the 2026 UCI Road World Championships in Montréal lists the local time in Canada. To work out the time in Germany, you need to add six hours. Eurosport, HBO Max and discovery+ will be broadcasting live from the Road Cycling World Championships in Montréal.

Eurosport is providing excellent coverage this time round, broadcasting almost the entire World Cycling Championships. In some cases, for the junior races, only the initial stage of the race immediately after the start will not be shown. We have marked these as ‘partial coverage’. Wednesday is a rest day at the World Cycling Championships, which can be used to inspect the course. The UCI Road World Championships YouTube channel features route videos for all the races.
If you want to know exactly when the races will start, you’ll find the exact start times in the table below:
