Where to watch the Giro d'Italia and Giro d'Italia Women

The place to watch the Giro d'Italia - LIVE, FREE and EXCLUSIVE - plus the 37th edition of the Giro d'Italia Women is on SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand.

The men's instalment of the Italian Grand Tour will run from May 8-31, while the women's tour begins on May 31 and concludes on June 7.

The Giro d'Italia is the second-biggest race on the professional cycling calendar, trailing only the Tour de France, and, in 2026, will begin with a three-day sojourn in Bulgaria.

As for the women's peloton, all nine days of racing will remain on Italian soil, with the Grande Partenza taking place in the northern town of Cesenatico.

In a bonus for Australian viewers, SBS On Demand will have its own dedicated Giro d'Italia Hub complete with stage replays, minis, highlights and more.

How to watch stage replays

Stage replays will be available online via SBS On Demand for Australian audiences shortly after each stage.

Watch two daily extended highlights programs

SBS will run extended highlights on its main channel twice a day for the duration of the two Grand Tours, with 7am and 5pm time-slots scheduled for weekdays, and 7am and 4:30pm confirmed for each weekend (all AEST).

Mini replays and winning moments

While the aforementioned extended highlights will be available via SBS On Demand, Australian viewers will also have the option to view 30-minute minis of each stage, or the winning moment if they are shorter on time.
