The 2026 UCI Africa Tour is the 22nd season of the UCI Africa Tour. The season will begin on 22 February with the Tour du Rwanda and will end in September 2026 with Grand Prix Chantal Biya. There are returning races such as Tour de Maurice, and new races such as Classique de Mauritius. ^[1] There are also races in 2025 not returning to the 2026 season, like Grand Prix Sonatrach.

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wears the UCI Africa Tour cycling jersey.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determine how many points were awarded to the top finishers: the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded. The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:

• Multi-day events: 2.1 and 2.2
• One-day events: 1.1 and 1.2
