The 2026 UCI Asia Tour is the 22nd season of the UCI Asia Tour. The season began on 9 November 2025 with the Tour de Okinawa in Japan and will end in October 2026 with the Tour of Mentougou.[1] There were returning races such as Tour de Korea and Hong Kong Cyclothon, new races such as Pune Grand Tour, while some races were demoted from UCI ProSeries such as Tour of Taihu Lake.[2] There are also races in 2025 not returning to the 2026 season, like The Road Race Tokyo Tama, while 2025 races such as AlUla Tour were upgraded to UCI ProSeries.[2]

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wears the UCI Asia Tour cycling jersey.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers, the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded.

The UCI race classifications from highest to lowest are as follows:

  • Multi-day events: 2.1 and 2.2
  • One-day events: 1.1 and 1.2
