UCI Esports World Championships moved to October 2024 to "attract more professionals"
OtherSaturday, 11 November 2023 at 10:00
The UCI have announced that the UCI Esports World Championships will be moved from February to October in 2024, with 40 athletes travelling to Abu Dhabi to contest the men’s and women’s finals in person.
Zwift worked closely with the UCI to create and organise the first Esports World Championships in 2020 but a new tender process saw MyWhoosh emerge as the organiser between 2024-2026. MyWhoosh was created in Abu Dhabi in 2019 and is currently free to use via the MyWhoosh app.
The 2024 Esports World Championships will include virtual qualifying rounds, with details of the qualification pathways and race format revealed in early 2024.
No explanation was given for the change in date. The February date favoured athletes who had trained and raced indoors during the European winter but failed to attract many of the best professional riders. Loes Adegeest of the Netherlands and Denmark's Bjørn Andreasson won the 2023 Esports titles.
