UCI cycling calendar 2025
Our cycling race calendar 2025 offers a complete overview of all major pro cycling races in the UCI WorldTour and UCI ProTour - including Grand Tours, Monuments, stage races, one-day classics and world championships.
The UCI WorldTour and UCI ProSeries
The 2025 UCI WorldTour stretches across 36 races, from January’s Tour Down Under to the season closer in Guangxi this October. The structure remains familiar, but there’s one new name on the list: the Copenhagen Sprint, a one-day race added to bring WorldTour racing into the heart of Denmark.
Just below the top tier, the UCI ProSeries enters its sixth season. The 2025 calendar features 58 races – 35 one-day events and 23 stage races – spread across 51 stops in Europe, five in Asia and one in the United States.
The UCI Women's WorldTour and UCI Women's ProSeries
The 2025 UCI Women’s WorldTour spans 27 races, from the Women’s Tour Down Under in January to the Tour of Guangxi in October. The calendar balances one-day classics and stage races, with stops across Europe, Asia and Oceania. Familiar landmarks like the Tour of Flanders, Paris–Roubaix Femmes and Liège–Bastogne–Liège return, alongside Grand Tours such as the Giro d’Italia Women, La Vuelta Femenina and the Tour de France Femmes. The newly added Copenhagen Sprint adds a fresh northern accent to the mix.
Beneath the World Tour, the UCI Women’s ProSeries offers 14 events – 13 one-day races and a single stage race – across Europe and Australia.
So how does the year unfold across the cycling calendar?
Cycling races January
The WorldTour season opens in Australia, where the Tour Down Under signals the return of racing after the winter break. Not every top name lines up, but for fans, it's a welcome reset - the first flag drop of the new season, and a chance to see fresh kits and early storylines take shape.
Cycling races February
The pace picks up. Volta ao Algarve, UAE Tour, and Tour of Oman offer warm-weather racing, while Europe wakes up with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne. It’s the start of the cobbled build-up - and the countdown to the spring classics begins.
Cycling races March
One of the busiest months of the year. Strade Bianche mixes gravel and chaos, Paris–Nice and Tirreno–Adriatico bring GC contenders face-to-face for the first time, and Milan–San Remo delivers the first Monument - always unpredictable how it unfolds.
Cycling races April
All eyes on the classics. Tour of Flanders and Paris–Roubaix headline the cobbled campaign, while the Ardennes trio (Amstel Gold Race,Flèche Wallonne, Liège–Bastogne–Liège) favours puncheurs and climbers. For many, this month defines the spring.
Cycling races May
The first Grand Tours of the season. The Giro d’Italia brings three weeks of unpredictability and brutal climbs, while the women have their first Grand Tour with La Vuelta España Feminina. Meanwhile, smaller races continue across Europe for riders building towards July or salvaging their spring.
Cycling races June
All about preparation and selection. Critérium du Dauphiné and Tour de Suisse serve as key dress rehearsals for the Tour de France. National championships close out the month, often revealing form - and jerseys - for July.
Cycling races July
Tour de France. Nothing else comes close. The race that dominates the calendar, the headlines and the hierarchy. GC showdowns, sprint battles, mountain drama and daily narratives that shape careers. But July isn’t only about the men’s Tour - the Giro d’Italia Women also runs this month, with its own GC storylines, summit finishes and rising stars.
Cycling races August
The Tour de France Femmes rolls over from July into August, adding to an already packed calendar. The Vuelta a España begins, offering a last chance for the GC contenders. Preceded by Donostia San Sebastián Klasikoa and the Tour de Pologne.
Cycling races September
A month of big finishes. The Vuelta España for men wraps up, theCanadian WorldTour races bring top names to North America, and the World Championships in Rwanda offer a one-day shot at immortality.
Cycling races October
The curtain call. Il Lombardia closes the Monument chapter, while races like Paris–Tours and the Tour of Guangxi offer final chances to impress, earn a contract or finish on a high. For many teams, it’s also about securing the last available UCI points - crucial for rankings and WorldTour status. And then it’s over - until January. Unless you are into CX of course...
