Route
The routes were announced on 25 June 2026.[2][3] For the first time since 2023, the race namesake Langkawi were omitted in any stages, and the routes also foregoes East Coast states which were present in 2025. Also for the second year running, East Malaysia states were also not included, as the organizers focused on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia because of reduced budget compared to previous year. However the race also presents 3 mountain finishes in its route, including the debut of Cat.1 climb Gunung Jerai, and the returns of HC climbs Cameron Highlands (since 2024) and Genting Highlands (since 2023).[4] Cameron and Genting Highlands will also feature in back-to-back stages, which only happened before in 2001 and 2011 edition of the race.
