Vuelta España Femenina moves to September in 2027
One of the subjects covered at this past week's UCI Management Committee meeting (2-4 June), was the 2027 racing calendar for both men's and women's WorldTour. Among the approved dates is the news that the Vuelta España Femenina is moving from early May to September, "immediately following the men's event."
The exact dates have yet to be confirmed, but with the men's Vuelta a España spanning 4-26 September in 2027 – shifted to make space for the Haute-Savoie 'Super Worlds' (24 August-5 September) – we can make an educated guess, with number of stages likely to be the only variable affecting dates.
This further spreads out the major stage races after the Giro d'Italia Women's move for 2026: there will be nine weeks between next year's Giro and Tour, and a likely seven weeks between the Tour and Vuelta. It also makes the Vuelta Femenina the penultimate Women's WorldTour event on the calendar, closely preceding the Tour of Chongming Island (12-14 October).
