Cycling fans in Europe are guaranteed the continuity of their favorite sporting events for several more years. Eurosport and HBO Max have confirmed the extension of their agreement with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which will allow them to continue offering live coverage of the main events on the international cycling calendar until at least 2032.
The news comes at a time when sports streaming consumption continues to expand and platforms are looking to secure exclusive long-term content. With this extension, Eurosport and HBO Max reinforce their position as leaders in professional cycling broadcasting on the continent for the next decade.
Which races are included in the agreement
The pact between Eurosport, HBO Max, the EBU, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), and UNIPUBLIC covers the live broadcast of some of the most followed road cycling competitions, in both men's and women's categories.
Among the events included are the Tour de France, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, La Vuelta a España, and La Vuelta Femenina. Coverage of classics such as Paris-Roubaix Hauts-de-France and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, in both their men's and women's versions, is also maintained.
Reach in Europe and platform features
Eurosport will continue to bring these races to 50 markets and in 21 languages, with more than 1,000 races broadcast each season. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the programming will remain available through TNT Sports.
For its part, HBO Max will broadcast all races included in the agreement in their entirety and live for the rest of Europe. The platform has recently incorporated the Multi-screen viewing option, which allows users to watch up to four live camera feeds alongside graphics with rider data and real-time standings.
According to data provided by the company, during the 2026 Grand Tours, one in four HBO Max subscribers used this multi-view feature, reflecting the public's interest in more complete and immersive tracking experiences.
A relationship spanning several decades
Trojan Paillot, Senior Vice President of Sports Rights Acquisitions and Syndication at Eurosport and TNT Sports, highlighted the value of maintaining this long-term collaboration. Paillot noted that the coverage of these events now spans four decades and emphasized the company's commitment to technological innovation applied to sports broadcasting.
The executive also pointed out that the goal is to continue seeking new formulas to expand the reach of cycling among European fans, relying on the experience accumulated and the digital tools developed in recent years.
What this renewal means for viewers
With this extension, cycling fans in Spain and the rest of Europe are guaranteed access to the major events on the calendar through the same channels and platforms for several more seasons, with no changes expected in the coming years regarding the broadcasting rights for these events.
