A major novelty is coming in 2026 for the Giro d'Italia Women, a date change loaded with significance emerging from the UCI communication confirming the calendars of the female and male WorldTour for the next season. Goodbye to July, the Pink Race will now be held from Saturday, May 30 to Sunday, June 7. There will be an overlap of dates - we'll later understand if there will also be a location crossover - with the men's Giro d'Italia concluding on Sunday, May 31.

The Giro d'Italia Women will be much closer to the Vuelta España scheduled from the 3rd to the 10th, followed by the Itzulia Women from the 15th to the 17th and the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas from the 21st to the 24th of May. The Tour de France Femmes remains in its traditional slot, to be held from August 1st to 9th.

Dates are also confirmed for other Italian WorldTour events: Strade Bianche on March 7, Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio on March 15, and the Milano-Sanremo Donne on March 21.
