The routes of the 2026 Giro d'Italia and Giro d'Italia Women will be presented in Rome on Monday, December 1, with the two Italian Grand Tours overlapping on the calendar in late May. Both race routes are expected to be mountainous, with limited time trialing, and so suiting the climbers, but with lots of sprint opportunities too.
The Giro d'Italia Women has moved from its usual date in July, during the men's Tour de France, to May 30-June 7. The men's Giro d'Italia will be held between May 8-31, meaning the two Italian Grand Tours will overlap for a weekend, after the men's race starts in Bulgaria.
