The first will see the Cross-country competition take place on the Soldier Hollow trails in Midway, Utah (USA). With the region preparing to co-host the 2034 Winter Olympics, Soldier Hollow brings Olympic pedigree and world-class credentials to the final stretch of the season.

The Downhill will then travel to one of its most iconic venues, the Whistler Mountain Bike Park in British Columbia, Canada, fulfilling decades of expectations with a stage set to deliver unforgettable racing. The iconic venue, which hosted the Winter Olympics 15 years ago, will host the world's best downhillers for the first time for a UCI World Cup. The final weekend will see both the UCI Cross-country and Downhill World Cups decided at the Lake Placid Olympic Sites, New York (USA).
