The Algarve Tour is one of the most prestigious events on the international cycling calendar, establishing itself year after year as a key reference at the start of the world cycling season. Renowned for the quality of its route, the strong presence of WorldTour teams and the media exposure it provides to the region, the race takes the name of the Algarve beyond borders, promoting its territory, landscapes and organizational excellence.


In 2026, the Algarve Tour returns with a challenging five-stage route, starting on February 18 in Vila Real de Santo António and finishing at the iconic Alto do Malhão, in Loulé. Along the way, the international peloton will face sprint finishes, mountain stages and an individual time trial, in an edition that promises great competitiveness and excitement.


One of the highlights of the race will take place on Saturday, February 21, with the start in Albufeira, in a stage linking Albufeira to Lagos.


The 2026 edition already has the confirmed participation of UAE Team Emirates-XRG, the world’s best team in 2025, further reinforcing the high competitive level of the event.


Further details about this and all other stages will be announced shortly.
