If you want to know how to watch Tirreno-Adriatico, we wouldn’t blame you at all.

The “Race of the Two Seas” has drawn a blockbuster lineup to its gallop across Italy’s boot, starting Monday, March 9.

Primož Roglič (remember him?) is back racing for the first time in 2026 and is set for a GC brawl with Richard Carapaz, Matteo Jorgenson, Egan Bernal, and Mexican wonderkid Isaac del Toro.

And they’re only a few of the headline names of a deep classification roster.

Giulio Pellizzari, Antonio Tiberi, and Michael Storer are also expected to be chasing Tirreno-Adriatico’s iconic trident trophy.

At the other end of the action, cobblestone kings Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel will be chasing stages alongside breakaway bomba Ben Healy and elite sprinters Jonathan Milan, Paul Magnier, and Arnaud De Lie.

Juan Ayuso won’t be back to defend his title in the 7-day race. He’s instead opting to “Race to the Sun” at the overlapping Paris-Nice.

You can check how to watch that here.

If you’re struggling to decide whether to watch Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico on any given day of this busy week of racing, be sure not to miss stages 2, 5, and 6 of the Italian race.

An uphill gravel finale Tuesday on stage 2 and a nasty classics stage across the steep hills of the Marche on Friday’s 5th stage will be spicey.

If the GC action isn’t decided there, the multi-climb stage to Camerino on stage 6 might dictate who takes the top step.
