Just ahead of the 2025 Grand Final, the full T100 schedule for next year has been unveiled.
This follows the announcement in October that there will be a number of revisions to the 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour format, including an adapted competition schedule, removal of season-long contract commitments and increased event prize money.
We already knew six of the nine locations – and that the first eight will be split between men and women, each having four races.
And now the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and World Triathlon have announced San Francisco, the French Riviera and Saudi Arabia as the final three locations on the nine-stop tour.
The T1 Indoor World Cup in France and World Triathlon Championship Series in London will make it 11 events in total next year in addition to the nine T100 pro races which are rounded off with the combined Grand Final event in Qatar.
How does 2026 pan out?
So the T100 pro race calendar in full is now as follows:
21-22 March – Gold Coast – women’s pro race
25-26 April – Singapore – men’s pro race
23-24 May – Spain – women’s pro race
6-7 June – San Francisco – men’s pro race
15-16 August – Vancouver – women’s pro race
19-20 September – French Riviera – men’s pro race
12-15 November – Dubai – women’s pro race
November (TBC) – Saudi Arabia – men’s pro race
11-12 December – Qatar – women and men’s pro race
With so many top tier options now available for the pros, it is tricky to fit them all into the calendar without any clashes but next year looks better in terms of avoiding close proximity to the IRONMAN World Championship and the 70.3 Worlds.
The former is back in Kona next year for both men and women on October 10 and that whole month is a blank one in terms of T100 races so a much better fit compared to this year.
The 70.3 Worlds is in Nice on September 12-13 so that’s just a week before French Riviera T100 for the men but at least the travel distance could hardly be shorter!
Two other key events
Amateur triathlon and mass participation opportunities will be delivered by the PTO at each event, aside from the French Riviera, which will be in partnership with the Saint Raphael Triathlon, and San Francisco, which will be delivered in partnership with the iconic Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon (EFAT).
“We’re excited to confirm San Francisco, the French Riviera and Saudi Arabia as the final three legs of the 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour,” said Sam Renouf, PTO CEO. “San Francisco and the French Riviera have proved themselves as iconic destinations and courses for our pro athletes this year and reflect our strategy and commitment to elevating triathlon on a global stage.
“Following our partnership with SURJ Sports Investment, we are excited to be bringing the T100 to Saudi Arabia – this is a great first output of our collaboration with the Saudi Triathlon Federation and our ambition to deliver world-class racing in the Kingdom to inspire a new generation of athletes and fans.”
The PTO also confirmed a return to Lievin, France, for the T1 Indoor World Cup, which it piloted successfully last year and consists of a 200m swim, 2.8km bike and 1km run. Uniquely, the event all takes place entirely live and indoors, with a specially built 25m pool situated within a 200m oval track, used for the bike and run segments.
In October, the PTO and World Triathlon announced that the World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) will return to London on 25-26 July, 2026, at the London T100 weekend, after deciding to switch out the professional 100km distance.
