The 2026 season starts in the canton of Ticino with the tried-and-tested Tamaro Trophy. The race on Monte Ceneri is part of the UCI Junior Series, has Hors-Catégorie status and has been an integral part of the Swiss Bike Cup for years. This means that there are once again many important UCI points to be won and an international field with numerous top riders can be expected. The GP Osterhas will take place for the second time on Easter Saturday as part of the Škoda Swiss Bike Cup. After the successful premiere in 2025, the collaboration with the RRC Amt will be further intensified. The 45th edition of the GP Osterhas will take place on April 4, 2026. 

Young riders will be in the spotlight on May 9 in Moléson-sur-Gruyères: the Škoda Swiss Bike Cup Kids Champions Event is all about the young talents. A format that is set to grow in the coming years. Savognin, the destination in Graubünden, will once again be involved in 2026 and will host a UCI Junior Series and a C1 race. 

There is a special highlight for the Swiss cross-country community in Leysin: after 2022, the Swiss XCC and XCO Championships will once again take place in the Vaud region from July 17 - 19, 2026. Anyone who has ever ridden in Leysin knows how technically demanding the course is. The national titles will therefore once again be held as part of the Škoda Swiss Bike Cup and are a national highlight.

As in the previous year, the season will conclude with the HC race in Gränichen (AG), where important UCI points will once again be at stake on the final weekend. "We are looking forward to a varied and exciting season in 2026. With the Swiss Championships, two Hors-Catégorie races, two UCI Junior Series races and destinations in all parts of Switzerland, both the sporting relevance and the attractiveness of the calendar are guaranteed." Says Dimitri Isler, Project Manager Škoda Swiss Bike Cup.
