Copenhagen Sprint 2026 brings two days of WorldTour racing to Denmark, with the women’s race on Saturday, 13th June and the men’s race on Sunday, 14th June. Both races are built around fast roads, exposed Danish terrain and a city-centre finish in Copenhagen, making this one of the clearest sprint-focused weekends in the top-level calendar.
UK viewers should be able to watch Copenhagen Sprint 2026 through Warner Bros. Discovery’s cycling coverage, with TNT Sports as the main TV route and HBO Max as the streaming route. TNT Sports lists both the Copenhagen Sprint Women and Copenhagen Sprint Men in its 2026 cycling schedule, with the women’s race on June 13th and the men’s race on June 14th.

Where can I watch Copenhagen Sprint 2026 in the UK?
UK viewers should check TNT Sports and HBO Max for live coverage of Copenhagen Sprint 2026.
TNT Sports is the likely TV route for subscribers watching through a television package, while HBO Max is the main streaming route for those watching on a laptop, tablet, mobile or smart TV. That reflects the wider Warner Bros. Discovery shift in the UK, with cycling streaming now sitting inside HBO Max rather than the old Discovery+ route.
The TNT Sports schedule lists the Copenhagen Sprint Men as a 228.2km WorldTour race from Roskilde to Copenhagen on Sunday, 14th June, with a listed start time of 10:00. The women’s Copenhagen Sprint is listed for Saturday, 13th June.
Is Copenhagen Sprint 2026 on TNT Sports?
Copenhagen Sprint 2026 should be available through TNT Sports in the UK.
TNT Sports lists the men’s race in its 2026 cycling calendar and has a dedicated Copenhagen Sprint Men event page for June 14th. It also lists the women’s race on June 13th. That makes TNT Sports the main place for UK viewers to check if they are watching through a TV package.
As with many one-day races, the exact channel allocation may only become clear close to race day. If the race clashes with other live sport, it may sit on a specific TNT Sports channel, an additional stream, or inside the live sport section on HBO Max.
Can I stream Copenhagen Sprint 2026 on HBO Max?
Yes, HBO Max should be the main streaming route for Copenhagen Sprint 2026 in the UK.
HBO Max is now the streaming home for Warner Bros. Discovery’s premium sport in the UK and Ireland, including TNT Sports cycling coverage. For cycling fans who previously used Discovery+ for live races, HBO Max is now the platform to check for events such as Copenhagen Sprint.
Inside the app, the race may be listed under cycling, live sport, TNT Sports, Eurosport branding, or a race-specific title. It is worth checking on the morning of each race, especially because one-day race listings can move around depending on the wider live sport schedule.
Is Copenhagen Sprint 2026 free to watch in the UK?
Copenhagen Sprint 2026 is not expected to be free-to-air in the UK.
The main UK route should be through paid access to TNT Sports or HBO Max. Danish viewers have domestic coverage through DR, but that is a Denmark broadcast arrangement rather than a UK free-to-air option.
UK viewers may still be able to follow highlights, clips and updates through official race channels, team feeds and social media, but live UK coverage should be treated as part of the paid Warner Bros. Discovery cycling package.
What time is Copenhagen Sprint 2026 on in the UK?
The women’s Copenhagen Sprint takes place on Saturday, 13th June, with TNT Sports listing the race in its 2026 schedule. The men’s Copenhagen Sprint takes place on Sunday, 14th June, with TNT Sports listing a 10:00 start for the 228.2km Roskilde to Copenhagen race.
The key UK viewing details are:
- Women’s Copenhagen Sprint 2026: Saturday, 13th June
- Men’s Copenhagen Sprint 2026: Sunday, 14th June
- Men’s race route: Roskilde to Copenhagen
- Men’s race distance: 228.2km
- UK coverage: TNT Sports and HBO Max
- Men’s listed start time: 10:00
For the women’s race, TNT’s public schedule has shown inconsistent start-time data in different listings, so it is worth checking the live schedule closer to race day. The race itself is confirmed for Saturday, 13th June.
What is Copenhagen Sprint?
Copenhagen Sprint is Denmark’s WorldTour one-day race weekend, with separate women’s and men’s races. The event was introduced to the top-level calendar in 2025 and returns in 2026 with both races held across the June 13th-14th weekend.
The concept is straightforward: bring elite professional racing to Denmark on routes that favour speed, positioning and sprint strength. The races start outside Copenhagen and finish in the capital, using fast roads and finishing circuits designed to create a high-speed finale.
The men’s race in 2026 starts at Stændertorvet in Roskilde and finishes outside the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen. The total distance is 228.2km, with a long point-to-point section before five laps of a 10km city circuit. Our Men’s Copenhagen Sprint 2026 route guide covers the route in more detail.
Why Copenhagen Sprint is worth watching
Copenhagen Sprint is worth watching because it gives the sprinters a rare WorldTour race built almost entirely around their strengths. Many one-day races include enough climbing or repeated short hills to favour Classics riders, but Copenhagen Sprint is designed to put fast finishers under the spotlight.
That does not mean it is guaranteed to be simple. Danish roads can be exposed, the approach to Copenhagen can become nervous, and the city-centre laps should make positioning crucial. A sprinter may have the fastest kick in the race, but they still need a team strong enough to keep them near the front at the right time.
The 2025 men’s race was won by Jordi Meeus ahead of Alexis Renard and Émilien Jeannière, setting the tone for Copenhagen Sprint as a race where the fastest finishers and their lead-outs can make the difference. The women’s race began with Lorena Wiebes beating Elisa Balsamo and Chiara Consonni, underlining the same sprint-focused identity. Our brief history of Men’s Copenhagen Sprint and brief history of Copenhagen Sprint Women explain how both races started.
What should UK viewers check before race day?
The safest approach is to check both TNT Sports and HBO Max on the morning of each race.
On TNT Sports, look through the live cycling schedule and channel guide. On HBO Max, check the live sport and cycling sections. The race may appear under Copenhagen Sprint, Copenhagen Sprint Women, Copenhagen Sprint Men, TNT Sports Cycling or Eurosport cycling branding.
For one-day races, the most important practical detail is the live window rather than the race start itself. Coverage may not always begin from kilometre zero, especially for the men’s race if the event is listed as starting early in the day. The decisive racing should come later, once the peloton reaches Copenhagen and the finishing circuits.
