The 2026 Vuelta a España begins this Saturday, August 22, and runs through Sunday, September 13. All 21 stages will be available from start to finish on Peacock. See below for the full 2026 Vuelta a España schedule, as well as additional information on how to live stream the event.
The 2026 Vuelta a España features two major changes; for the first time ever, the race will start in Monaco and will conclude in Granada, marking the first time the Vuelta has not ended in Madrid since 2021.
Three-time reigning and five-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar returns to the Spanish race for the first time since 2019, seeking his first victory in the event. The win, which would be his seventh career Grand Tour title, would make him the ninth rider in history to win all three Grand Tours.
