The 2023 UCI World Championships is the first edition of the 'Super Worlds' or 'unified' Worlds, bringing together almost all of the cycling disciplines except for cyclocross and gravel.
The UCI Road World Championships happen a month earlier than normal, putting them in close proximity to the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes. As such, the elite men's road race, usually the closing event, will be held on the first weekend while the elite women's road race will be at the end of the schedule.
Typically held in the late winter, the UCI Track World Championships have shifted to late summer - a timing that will help with preparation for the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
The timing for the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships is not much different to other years but it complicates preparation for multi-discipline competitors like Olympic champion Tom Pidcock and Mathieu van der Poel, who will compete in the road race.
Other events include BMX, trials, indoor cycling, gran fondo and para-cycling.
Glasgow is the host for most of the events, while the mountain bike Cross Country Olympic (XCO), Short Track (XCC), E-MTB, Team Relay will be held at Glentress Forest (Tweed Valley) and Fort William will host the MTB Downhill events.
