Montréal to host 2026 UCI Road World Championships
The 2026 UCI Road World Championships will be held in Montréal, Canada, from September 20 to September 27. The event features 13 world titles across elite, under-23, and junior categories, including individual time trials, road races, and a mixed relay team time trial.
Key race details include a 39.2 km men's elite individual time trial that features a challenging 2 km uphill finish with gradients exceeding 7%, a course profile that may favor riders like Remco Evenepoel. The road races will utilize the Mont-Royal circuit, a location with historical significance as it hosted the 1974 championships and the 1976 Olympic road races.
The championships are expected to cause significant local disruption in Montréal, with approximately 30 kilometers of streets facing closures across seven boroughs and the South Shore. Local authorities have advised residents regarding parking restrictions and bus detours during the nine-day period. Athletes from nearly 100 nations are expected to participate.
