Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports Europe today extends its rights to show a colossal collection of the world’s greatest cycling races until at least 2030. The move cements its position as the Home of Cycling and guarantees broad access for millions of viewers across Europe.

The new partnership with the EBU and ASO from 2026 features the Tour de France (and Femmes) and La Vuelta a España (and Femenina) to guarantee every Grand Tour will be shown on WBD’s channels and platforms across Europe.

The Tour de France will now be exclusively shown live by WBD in the UK with the Tour de France Femmes now exclusive in Norway and Ireland, alongside coverage for viewers in every market in Europe. Likewise, WBD has added exclusive coverage of La Vuelta a España in Norway and the Netherlands for the men’s and women’s races.

The package of rights in Europe also includes many of the men’s and women’s editions of the Classics such as Paris-Roubaix, Liège–Bastogne–Liège and La Flèche Wallonne as well as illustrious stage races Paris-Nice, Critérium du Dauphiné and Volta a Catalunya. From 2026, this package of rights will be exclusive in the UK.

WBD will offer live coverage of each race for Eurosport’s channels with uninterrupted streaming available for Max subscribers across Europe. Local commentary will be available in up to 20 languages with stars of the peloton bringing their insights, experience and expertise to races on-site and for Eurosport’s local studio analysis shows in certain markets.
