UCI Cycling World Championships 2023: preview

Encompassing no fewer than 13 world championships across seven disciplines over 11 days of competition, the inaugural UCI Cycling World Championships has been the biggest cycling event ever, one that rivals the Olympics in terms of importance.

With the hosts way out in front in the medal table, having collected twice as many golds as second-placed France, the championships come to a close on Sunday. Annemiek van Vleuten's final ever defence of her women's road race title takes centre-stage on Day 11, which will also see the finals of six BMX races.

This marks the first time that cycling's sprawling network of world championships have been brought together under one umbrella, but such is the scale of the event that host city Glasgow had to outsource select races to numerous cities and towns around Scotland.

By the end of the day, more than 200 medals will have been contested on roads, tracks, hills, dirt and ramps, with every major cycling discipline bar cyclo-cross and gravel featuring. 

It's the world's greatest show on two wheels, and you can read on as we explain how to watch a FREE 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships live stream from anywhere with a VPN. We've also listed the full UCI Cycling World Championships schedule at the bottom of this page.
