The women's WorldTour will solidify its structure over the next three years, requiring teams to rank in the top 15 of the UCI rankings for 2024-2025. Starting from 2026, the women's teams will follow a three-year schedule for promotion and relegation similar to the men's. The application deadline for 2026 team licenses occurs on August 15. EF Education-Oatly aims for WorldTour promotion while Roland Le Dévoluy will shift to ProTeam status. The future of the Ceratizit team remains uncertain due to sponsorship changes. If they cease operations, Volkerwessels could enter the WorldTour.
The women's teams must make the top 15 in the 2024-2025 UCI Team Rankings rather than the top 18, as their maximum number of WorldTour teams is 15.
EF Education-Oatly confirmed to Cyclingnews their intent to seek promotion to the WorldTour. The US team are currently 12th in the two-year standings and in little danger of dropping out of the top 15.
Meanwhile, the Roland Le Dévoluy team confirmed to Cyclingnews that they will not continue in the WorldTour, but intend to apply to be a ProTeam.
There is uncertainty around the Ceratizit team after the title sponsor announced they will end sponsorship of the team at the end of this season.
