Where to watch on TV

The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race will be broadcast live and free across SBS and SBS On Demand.

Watch all the action from the Mapei Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race LIVE and FREE on SBS and SBS On Demand from January 29-February 1.

Some of the best cyclists from across Australia and the globe will descend on Victoria for the Mapei Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, a week-long celebration with multiple cycling events and culminating in a one-day classic which kick-starts the UCI WorldTour season.

Designed by former Australian pro Scott Sunderland and 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans – the race is Australia’s only one-day WorldTour event.

Starting and finishing in Geelong, the riders travel down along the coastline before turning inland en route to the short and sharp Challambra climb, a gruelling ascent that forms part of the finishing circuit.

In what will be the 10th edition of the race in 2026, there has only been one Australian winner of the men’s race – with Jay McCarthy taking it out in 2018, but Swiss Mauro Schmid brought Australian team Jayco-Alula their first victory in last year’s edition.

It’s a different story in the women’s race – with Rachel Neylan, Chloe Hosking and Amanda Spratt all winners of early editions of the race. New Zealander Ally Wollaston triumphed in a bunch sprint in 2025.

It’s a week of cycling that’s not to be missed, and promises to be the best edition yet with coverage on the home of cycling for the first time in 2026.
