The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) are pleased to announce a more targeted and less distracting communication for MTB fans.
Here is the new portal of the new UCI Mountain Bike World Series, which will include the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Cross Country (XCO), Short Track (XCC), Marathon (XCM), Downhill (DHI), Enduro (EDR) and E-enduro (E-EDR).
The UCI Mountain Bike World Series will, for the first time ever, unite all major mountain bike formats under one brand. The UCI Mountain Bike World Series will also offer opportunities for "privateers", ie those riders not directly sponsored by official teams, to enter the Elite phase. XCM, EDR and E-EDR events will, in some cases, allow these athletes to compete alongside the Pros.
This alignment of formats and races will culminate in September in Les Gets, Morzine and Châtel (France), where the stage of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series will last 10 days, with all disciplines in the field. This festival will set the benchmark for this new era of mountain biking.
With one of the biggest sports broadcasters in the world behind the UCI Mountain Bike World Series (Eurosport), there will be more live coverage and more ways to follow the racing. The UCI World Cup XCO, XCC and DHI events of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series will be available live and on demand on discovery+*, the Eurosport app and worldwide on GCN+. UCI World Cup XCM, EDR and E-EDR will benefit from in-depth Highlights and Shows at each round. More ways to watch will be announced in the coming months.

With its festival atmosphere, mix of racing and expanded live coverage, the UCI Mountain Bike World Series will offer a fresh and modern experience for athletes, fans and newcomers to the mountain biking community – David Lappartient, UCI president
