UCI Gravel World Series 2026 overview
The 2026 GravelKing UCI Gravel World Series is a collection of races that act as qualifiers for the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships, which will be held in Nannup, Western Australia from October 10-11.
Ahead of the new calendar year, the UCI announced that Panaracer Corporation's tyre brand, GravelKing, would become the title sponsor of the series for the next three seasons, 2026-2028.
For the fifth season of the series, qualifying rounds began at Flanders Legacy Gravel in Belgium on Sunday 19 October, 2025. Four qualifying events are on the schedule for 2026 as after Flanders Legacy the calendar moves to Gravelista in Australia, Dustman in Thailand and Alentejo Gravel in Portugal.
The season then restarts again in South Africa on February 14 with The Ceder, and while the bulk of rounds are in Europe there are an increasing number spread across the globe from North America to Africa, Asia and Australia. The final qualifying event for the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships is the Pyrénées Catalanes Gravel Tour in France on September 26, 2026.
Not only does th series offer the opportunity to qualify for the UCI World Championships – with the top 25% earning a start – but the racing also helps riders gather points to secure a place further up the starting grid. Points are awarded for those in the top 25 overall at series events, starting at 200 for first and going down to five for 25th place.
