What is the Tour de France Femmes Prize Money in 2026?
The total women’s prize purse was €260,750.

The men’s points and mountains classification winners each received €25,000, while Puck Pieterse and Lorena Wiebes received €3,000 each for winning those classifications in the women’s race.
The men’s Tour featured 21 stages and covered roughly 3,300 kilometers. The 2026 Tour de France Femmes had nine stages and covered around one-third of that distance.

Final Takeaways
The 2026 Tour de France Femmes prize money was €260,750, with Demi Vollering earning €50,000 for the overall victory and €4,000 for each of her three stage wins.
FDJ United-SUEZ was the top-earning team at €77,080, followed by Canyon//SRAM at €51,500 and UAE Team L’IMAD at €37,980.
The contrast with the men’s Tour remains enormous. Pogačar earned €500,000 for winning the men’s race, more than €2.3 million was distributed during the event, and UAE Emirates-XRG collected €832,750.
The women’s Tour has made significant progress since returning in 2022, but the 2026 figures show that the financial gap with the men’s race remains substantial.
