2027 Cycling World Championships in Haute-Savoie: What We Know

The 2027 UCI Cycling World Championships come to Haute-Savoie, in the French Alps under Mont Blanc. Here’s what the UCI has confirmed so far.

Last checked 10 November 2026. Where the UCI or a host city has confirmed a date, we give it. Where 2027 dates aren’t confirmed yet, we say “expected” and give the month the race usually runs. We’ll update this page as dates are confirmed.

The basics

• Dates: 24 August to 5 September 2027.
• Road races: start and finish in Sallanches, on a 13.3 km circuit at Sallanches–Domancy.
• Same circuit for all: elite men and women ride the same circuit; only the number of laps changes.
• Time trials: at Lake Annecy.
• Race days: not fixed yet. The UCI says the dates of the individual events haven’t been finalised.

Why it matters

A rainbow jersey is worn for a whole year, so the Worlds can make a career. In 2023 Mathieu van der Poel won the road title with Wout van Aert second; read their rivalry.

Ride the Alps while you’re there
