From the 2024 edition onwards, athletes will be able to qualify for the UCI Track Champions League by achieving outstanding results at the following events:

Olympic Games

UCI competitions

UCI Track World Championships presented by Tissot

UCI Track Nations Cup rounds presented by Tissot

Previous UCI Track Champions League (overall winners)

Continental Championships:

UEC Elite Track European Championships

CAC African Track Championships

Oceania Track Championships

Asian Track Cycling Championships

As in previous editions, the UCI Track Champions League will feature a total of 72 athletes, evenly split between the sprint and endurance leagues, with 18 men's and 18 women's athletes in each category. The UCI points awarded to participants in the UCI Track Champions League remain unchanged, as does the prize money: €25,000 for the overall winners (men and women in each category).

Riders' event results will be prioritised to ensure that consistent performance throughout the season is rewarded. For the first time, continental champions who have also achieved a top 10 finish at the UCI Track Nations Cup or the UCI Track World Championships in the previous 18 months will qualify for the UCI Track Champions League. 

Winners of at least one UCI Track Nations Cup race (keirin and sprint for the sprint league, omnium and elimination for the endurance league) will also qualify.

Another new feature will be the awarding of wildcards. These will be based on other exceptional performances in specific competitions or notable achievements, with points awarded in the UCI individual rankings. This will make it possible to discover hidden talents.

UCI President David Lappartient said, "Thanks to the new qualification, we can be sure that the 2024 UCI Track Champions League will be even more representative of the world's best track cyclists. Our various stakeholders have contributed to the revision of the qualification system, which now more than ever reflects the depth of talent around the world."

"Since its inception in 2021, the UCI Track Champions League has brought the track cycling season to a spectacular close, and we can only look forward to this year's edition with athletes who have proven themselves to be among the best thanks to impressive results in UCI Track International Calendar events," added Lappartient.

The 2024 UCI Track Champions League will kick off on 23 November in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France), followed by the second round (29 November) and third round (30 November) in Apeldoorn (Netherlands). The fourth round (6 December) and the Grand Final (7 December) will be held in London (Great Britain).

The Velodrome National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France) will host the opening of the league on Saturday 23 November, just a few months after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Frenchwoman Mathilde Gros, the 2022 women's sprint champion, will be the home favourite.

Omnisport Apeldoorn will be making its debut as a competition venue. However, it has already hosted international events. It will be home to another great, Harrie Lavreysen, with Olympic and world titles to his name. He is the current winner of the Track Champions League.

The other venue is a classic, the Lee Valley VeloPark in London (Great Britain), where the grand final will be held. British cyclist Katie Archibald will be the centre of attention.
