Brands and teams 2026: the complete list for the WorldTour and ProTeams

The 2026 season promises to be full of changes in partnerships between teams and bicycle manufacturers, both at the WorldTour level and in the ProTeams category. Among the major developments, Bianchi is switching from Arkea-B&B Hotels (which is withdrawing) to Bahrain Victorious, while Scott is returning to this level with the NSN team, successor to Israel-Premier Tech, which is now licensed in Switzerland. Finally, Pinarello is strengthening its presence by becoming the title sponsor of a second team with Q36.5.

After 13 seasons at this level, the Taiwanese manufacturer Merida is leaving the WorldTour. Long associated with the historic Lampre team and then Bahrain Victorious, Merida is giving way to a legendary Italian brand: Bianchi. The brand becomes the official supplier of Bahrain Victorious, after having supported Arkea-B&B Hotels, which will cease operations in 2026.

Another notable move: Scott's return to the world elite with NSN Cycling Team (the new name of the former Israel-Premier Tech). Scott replaces Factor and marks its return to the WorldTour level after supplying Q36.5 bikes in recent years.

Uno-X Mobility's promotion to WorldTour allows Ridley to return to the big leagues, accompanying the Norwegian team.

Finally, the merger between Lotto and Intermarché-Wanty created Lotto-Intermarché, which retained Orbea as its supplier. This also marked a significant comeback for the Basque brand at this level.
