The 2026 Tour de Suisse was a road cycling stage race that took place between 17 and 21 June in Switzerland. It was the 89th edition of the Tour de Suisse and the 25th event of the 2026 UCI World Tour. It took place at the same time as the women's Tour de Suisse, with both races using a similar route.[1]

The race was dominated by Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates XRG, who took the lead on stage 1 after a surprise solo attack over 72 kilometres (45 mi), extended his lead on the stage 4 time trial and then took further time on the mountainous final stage to confirm his overall victory. Nearly six and a half minutes behind, Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz of EF Education–EasyPost finished second overall, with Czech rider Mathias Vacek of Lidl–Trek third overall, nearly seven minutes behind Pogačar.[2][3]

In the other classifications, Pogačar won the points classification, Belgian rider Louis Vervaeke of Soudal–Quick-Step took the mountains classification, Vacek won the young rider classification and UAE Team Emirates XRG won the teams classification.[3]
