The UCI Track Champions League, introduced in 2021, will be discontinued after just four years due to a shift in focus from its partner Warner Bros. Discovery. The cycling governing body will instead promote a new UCI Track World Cup starting in 2026, which will be crucial for Olympic qualification. The new format will include three rounds featuring both Olympic events and popular racing formats like the elimination race, aiming to engage audiences and maintain track cycling's visibility leading up to the 2028 Olympics.
This event has helped to promote track cycling like never before, and with the continuation of our collaboration, I am confident that track cycling will thrive.
WBD's commitment appears to have waned from being a central partner and producer of the series to purely broadcasting the World Cup races.
The UCI Track World Cup will play a crucial role in the qualification of nations and their athletes for the UCI World Championships and Olympic events.
This series will consist of three rounds, featuring Olympic events and popular formats like the elimination race.
