Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 takes place on Saturday, 13th June, bringing the Women’s WorldTour back to Denmark for the second edition of the race. It is one of the clearest sprint-focused one-day races on the women’s calendar, with a fast 156km route from Stændertorvet in Roskilde to the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen.
For UK viewers, the race should be available through TNT Sports and HBO Max. TNT Sports lists the Copenhagen Sprint Women road race for 14:35 UK time, making the late afternoon the key viewing window if you want to catch the decisive approach into Copenhagen and the finishing circuit.
The race starts in Roskilde, moves through North Zealand and Vestegnen, then finishes with three laps of a 10km circuit in central Copenhagen. That makes it a race for fast finishers on paper, but not one without tension. Exposed Danish roads, positioning battles and the speed of the finishing laps should make the final hour hard to control.
For wider race context, the beginner’s guide to Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 explains how the race fits into the Women’s WorldTour calendar, while the brief history of Copenhagen Sprint Women looks back at the first edition.

UK viewers should check TNT Sports and HBO Max for live coverage of Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026.
TNT Sports is the main TV route for subscribers watching through a traditional television package, while HBO Max is the streaming route for those watching on a laptop, tablet, mobile or smart TV. Cycling coverage in the UK now sits inside Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT Sports and HBO Max structure rather than the old Discovery+ route.
TNT Sports lists the Copenhagen Sprint Women road race on Saturday, 13th June, with a start time of 14:35 UK time. That should be treated as the key UK viewing time, although final channel placement can still depend on wider live sport scheduling.
Is Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 on TNT Sports?
Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 is listed on TNT Sports in the UK.
The race appears in TNT Sports’ 2026 Copenhagen Sprint Women calendar for Saturday, 13th June, with the road race listed at 14:35. That gives UK viewers a clear place to check on race day, particularly if they already subscribe to TNT Sports through Sky, Virgin Media, EE TV or another TV provider.
As with many one-day races, the live broadcast window may not necessarily show every kilometre from the start in Roskilde. The most important section for viewers will be the approach into Copenhagen and the finishing circuits, where the race should become faster, more organised and more nervous.
Can I stream Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 on HBO Max?
HBO Max should be the main streaming route for Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 in the UK.
For cycling fans who previously used Discovery+ for live races, HBO Max is now the platform to check for Warner Bros. Discovery’s cycling coverage. The race may appear under Copenhagen Sprint Women, Copenhagen Sprint, cycling, live sport, TNT Sports or Eurosport branding inside the app.
It is worth checking the app on the morning of the race, because one-day race listings can sometimes sit in different sections depending on the platform and schedule. If the race is not immediately visible on the home screen, look under live sport, cycling, TNT Sports and event-specific listings.
Is Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 free to watch in the UK?
Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 is not expected to be free-to-air in the UK.
The main UK route should be paid access through TNT Sports or HBO Max. Danish viewers may have domestic broadcast options, but those should not be treated as UK free-to-air coverage.
UK viewers should still be able to follow race updates through official race channels, team feeds, social media, live tickers and post-race highlights, but live coverage should be treated as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery cycling package.

What is Copenhagen Sprint Women?
Copenhagen Sprint Women is Denmark’s Women’s WorldTour one-day race, first held in 2025 and returning for its second edition in 2026. It forms part of the wider Copenhagen Sprint weekend, with the women’s race on Saturday, 13th June and the men’s race on Sunday, 14th June.
The concept is simple: a fast race from Roskilde into Copenhagen, designed to give sprinters a major WorldTour platform. The course is not mountainous and does not contain the repeated climbs of the Ardennes or the cobbled difficulty of Flanders. Instead, the challenge comes from speed, positioning, exposure and the tension of bringing a large peloton into a city-centre finish.
The 2026 route starts at Stændertorvet in Roskilde and finishes outside the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen. The final laps on the 10km circuit should give the race a clear shape, with sprint teams trying to organise and attackers looking for any hesitation before the final run-in.
Why Copenhagen Sprint Women is worth watching
Copenhagen Sprint Women is worth watching because it gives the fastest riders in the peloton a rare WorldTour one-day race built around their strengths.
Many major women’s one-day races are selective enough to favour Classics riders, climbers or puncheurs. Copenhagen Sprint Women is different. It is more obviously designed for sprinters and powerful lead-out trains, which makes it an important race for riders who do not always get this kind of WorldTour opportunity.
That does not make it predictable. Danish roads can be exposed, and a sprint race only stays a sprint race if the right teams control it. Crosswinds, road furniture, late attacks and circuit positioning can all complicate the day. A fast finisher may be the favourite, but she still needs to be in the right place when the race reaches Copenhagen.
The first edition in 2025 set the tone, with Lorena Wiebes winning ahead of Elisa Balsamo and Chiara Consonni. That podium underlined exactly what the race wants to be: a top-level test for elite sprinters, lead-out organisation and late-race speed.

What should UK viewers check before race day?
UK viewers should check both TNT Sports and HBO Max on the morning of Saturday, 13th June.
On TNT Sports, check the live cycling schedule and channel guide. On HBO Max, check the live sport and cycling sections. The race may appear under Copenhagen Sprint Women, Copenhagen Sprint, TNT Sports Cycling, Eurosport cycling or a similar event title.
The key detail is the live window rather than the official race start in Roskilde. With a 156km route and a city-circuit finish, the decisive action should come once the race approaches Copenhagen and the sprint teams begin to organise. The listed UK time of 14:35 should be the main reference point for viewers.
For more women’s race coverage, the women’s cycling TV guide hub brings together UK viewing information across the season, while the women’s cycling race hub covers route guides, previews, start lists and race reports.
How to watch Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 in the UK summary
Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 takes place on Saturday, 13th June, with the race running 156km from Roskilde to Copenhagen and finishing with three laps of a 10km circuit in the Danish capital.
UK viewers should check TNT Sports for TV coverage and HBO Max for streaming. TNT Sports lists the women’s road race for 14:35 UK time. The race is not expected to be free-to-air in the UK, so live coverage should be treated as part of the paid Warner Bros. Discovery cycling package.
The race should be one of the clearest sprint opportunities in the 2026 Women’s WorldTour. With fast roads, exposed terrain, a Copenhagen city-centre finish and a field likely to include many of the best sprinters in the peloton, it is a race built around speed but still open to late disruption.
