Pro Cycling Manager 26

Pro Cycling Manager 26 is developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Nacon. It released on June 15, 2026, for Windows via Steam. Built on the International Cycling Union license, the game puts players in the director’s seat of a professional cycling team, handling everything from recruitment and budgets to season strategy and race-day tactics.

Über das Spiel

Pro Cycling Manager 26 centers on running a full cycling season rather than a single event. Players assign riders to three priority roles, Main Leaders, Secondary Leaders, and Domestiques, then build a calendar around races now categorized from A to D by importance. Every decision, from contract negotiations to sponsorship deals, feeds into whether the team can compete at cycling’s biggest events, including the Tour de France and other real-world races under license.

Race simulation sits at the core of the experience, and this year’s edition introduces Detailed Simulation, which runs races on the full 3D engine without a visual display to deliver fast, realistic results in seconds. A revamped day-form system adds Tour Focus and Classics Focus attributes, so Grand Tour specialists and one-day Classics riders behave more distinctly from race to race. A new Pro Cyclist mode also lets players create and personally control a custom rider’s career alongside team management duties.

Wesentliche Merkmale

Deep Season Planning: Assign riders to Main Leader, Secondary Leader, or Domestique roles from the start, then lock in individual race programmes around a season built for balance.
Race Importance System: Every event on the calendar carries a priority level from A to D, helping teams commit resources to the moments that matter most.
Detailed Simulation Mode: Run races on the full 3D engine without the visual display for fast, highly consistent results, or fall back on the quicker Instant Result option.
Pro Cyclist Mode: Create a custom rider or take control of an existing professional, then guide their individual career alongside standard team management.
