The 2024 UCI XCO World Cup calendar is announced, featuring new venues in Brazil, Europe and the USA

The UCI anticipated some dates and possible venues some time ago, but now in Brujulabike we bring you the UCI World Cup Calendar for 2024. An XCO circuit with 2 new venues in Brazil, Switzerland and the USA, among other novelties.

Keys to the new 2024 calendar

• The new UCI MTB World Cup will be held over 15 weekends in 2024, from April 12 to October 6.
• Cross-country, Downhill and Enduro events will be held together in 10 countries in Europe, North and South America.
• 6 new venues added to the calendar
• Nothing is known about the XCM World Cup yet, the organisation will give more information "in due course".

David Lappartient, President of the UCI, said: "With its innovative new format bringing together all the major formats in the discipline, the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup was a huge success in 2023, with, for the first time, a round – in Haute-Savoie, France – hosting all the specialties on the series programme."

“There will be something new next year too, with new venues being included in this flagship mountain bike series, not only in Europe but also in North and South America. This testifies to the popularity of the sport, which the International Olympic Committee has just confirmed will be on the programme for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. Mountain bike continues to develop internationally, and the UCI World Cup is undoubtedly a key element in this progress.”

Chris Ball, VP of Cycling Events at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, said: “After a ground-breaking 2023 I am proud to welcome both iconic venues and new destinations to the 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Series calendar. In the largest expansion of international mountain bike for many years, six new venues will join a blockbuster of a year, totalling 15 event weekends.

“Expansion into South America and long-term agreements in Lake Placid in the USA, Trentino in Italy and Haute-Savoie in France are hallmarks to a season that offers more racing than ever before. Switzerland also joins with two new venues in the stunning Valais region and Poland joins the UCI World Cup calendar for the very first time.”
