Germany’s biggest cycling event will take place from August 19 to 23, once again spanning five stages across several federal states. The Lidl Deutschland Tour is part of the UCI ProSeries, the second-highest tier in international cycling.
The first host city has already been revealed: Schwäbisch Hall. For the first time, the historic old town will welcome the Lidl Deutschland Tour, serving as the venue for the finish of Stage 1 (August 20) and the start of Stage 2 (August 21).
In the coming weeks, more host cities will be announced, completing the route of the 2026 edition.
