World-Class Cycling Comes to Derby
The 2026 UCI Indoor Cycling World Championships
Derby Arena | 16–18 October 2026
Two disciplines. One iconic prize. Three days of extraordinary skill and athleticism — live in the heart of England.
Not your typical cycling event
Forget road races and time trials. Indoor Cycling is part sport, part performance — athletes who've spent years mastering balance, coordination and timing to compete at the highest level in the world.
Two disciplines will crown World Champions at Derby Arena. Both award the UCI rainbow jersey — the most coveted prize in cycling, worn only by the world's best.
