Amstel Gold Race 2026: Sunday, April 19 at 10.10am BST / 5.10am ET

FREE streams: SBS On Demand (AUS) / France TV (FRA)

The Amstel Gold Race 2026 live streams represent the first of the trio of Ardennes Classic and the point at which the cycling season moves from the cobbles to the hills, where the climbers traditionally dominate. Tadej Pogacar is absent in the men's race, but Mattias Skjelmose returns to defend his title.

The Dane delivered arguably the biggest upset of last season in winning a sprint finish against Pogacar to become one of the few riders to beat the great Slovenian in 2025. Pogacar won't be lining up this year – neither will other Big Three member Wout van Aert or Mathieu van der Poel – and nor will Tom Pidcock after his crash in the Volta a Catalunya, but there will still be a stacked men's field.

Remco Evenepoel, also edged out by Skjelmose on the line 12 months ago, will again be among the favorites, while Irishman Ben Healey seems to have targeted this race all season and may go hard up the Ardennes climbs before the finish in Berg en Terblijt.

That's where the women's race also finishes – it starts in Maastricht, like the men – and the defending champion Mischa Bredewold is again back to defend her crown. Competition will come from Demi Vollering, the European champion and recent Tour of Flanders winner.
