The 2026 UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships was the 15th edition of World Championships for road cycling for athletes with a physical disability. The championships took place in Cummings Research Park in Huntsville, Alabama, United States from 4 to 7 September 2026 where a total of 348 athletes from 49 countries were set to compete.

Medalists

Events are held in four broad categories, with four different types of bicycle, denoted by a letter-number code:

B1 are pairs races for blind and visually impaired cyclists, riding a tandem bicycle with a sighted 'pilot'. C1-C5 are cyclists on standard or near-standard bicycles, with minor modifications to allow use by paracyclists, e.g. attachments on handlebars or pedals. H1-H5 are hand cycling races using tricycles powered by hand-cranking of pedals from a recumbent position. Typically hand-cyclists share similar lower body disabilities to wheelchair racing athletes in para athletics, but in H1-H5 events, their power is applied indirectly through a chained and geared pedal system rather than directly to the wheels of the chair by pushing to create the distinction between cycling and athletics. There are no 'H' class track events. T1-T2 are Tricycle races, typically for cyclists with good movement but significant balance or co-ordination issues for whom a two-wheeled bicycle is not suitable. There are no 'T' class track events.

As a general rule, the lower the number in the race code (e.g., C4 or H2), the greater the level of impairment.
