The schedule for the 2027 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series has been finalized. The fifth season under the revamped UCI World Cup format will span two continents and eight countries, featuring a total of ten World Cup rounds between May and October 2027. The world’s top athletes will compete in the Endurance and Gravity disciplines.

The season begins on May 21 with the cross-country races in the traditional opening venue of Nové Město na Moravě (Czech Republic). The downhill season kicks off a week later in the French Pyrenees at Loudenvielle-Peyragudes from May 29 to 30, 2027.

After a short break, the first of six triple-event rounds—featuring XCO, XCC, and DHI—is scheduled for mid-June. The venue is Saalfelden Leogang in the Salzburg region (Austria), a long-standing destination on the WHOOP-UCI Mountain Bike World Series. The tour will then cross the Alps to Les Gets, Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc in France. There, fans will get a first glimpse of what awaits them later in the summer: The Haute-Savoie region will host the UCI Cycling World Championships for the second time. The world championship titles in Cross Country and Downhill will be awarded at this historic French venue.

After another weekend off, La Thuile in the Aosta Valley (Italy) will welcome the elite of mountain biking. This will be only the second time the town has hosted a UCI Cross-Country World Cup and the third time it has hosted a UCI Downhill World Cup. After that, the series returns to the Pyrenees, stopping in Pal Arinsal, Andorra. That’s where the final round before a six-week summer break will take place.

Bike Kingdom Lenzerheide (Switzerland) will kick off the second half of the season for endurance and gravity athletes on August 20. The final European stop—and also the last triple-event of the year—takes the series back to the legendary Val di Sole, Trentino (Italy). The venue was absent from the 2026 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series calendar because the 2026 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships will be held there.

The series then crosses the Atlantic. In 2027, each discipline will have its own season finale in North America. The UCI Cross-Country World Cup concludes on September 25 and 26 in Soldier Hollow, Midway, Utah (USA). Thanks to its spectacular scenery, challenging courses, and enthusiastic crowds, the venue quickly established itself in 2026 as one of the series’ standout new additions. The downhill season will conclude on October 3 on the world-famous trails of Whistler Mountain Bike Park in British Columbia, Canada.

Chris Ball, Vice President of Cycling Events, EMEA Sports at Skydance, explains: “The 2026 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series offers a season full of milestones. These include the UCI World Cup debuts in South Korea, Soldier Hollow, and Whistler, as well as innovative new features such as the Women’s Elite Downhill Final, which will conclude the race schedule in Saalfelden Leogang—Salzburgerland. Looking ahead to 2027, we are putting together a calendar that combines world-class venues, passionate fan bases, and top-level competition—from the season opener to the season finals. The 2027 calendar comprises ten rounds, each featuring eight races per discipline. Each venue represents a premier mountain biking destination in its country and serves as the beating heart of its off-road community. Together, they offer top-tier racing, enthusiastic spectators, and an unforgettable atmosphere—both on-site and for the millions of fans following the action worldwide.”
