The 2026 women’s professional cycling season brings exciting opportunities and growth for riders and teams around the world. Below the top tier of the UCI Women’s WorldTour, the UCI Women’s ProSeries serves as the second-highest level of competition, offering valuable UCI points, strong sport performance, and broad international exposure for teams and riders.
UCI Women’s ProSeries – Rules and Structure
The UCI Women’s ProSeries in 2026 will be the seventh edition of this professional circuit. As the second tier below the WorldTour, the ProSeries is designed to bridge the gap between the highest level and other professional races, providing a robust racing calendar featuring both one-day classics and stage races across Europe and beyond.
Teams invited to ProSeries events typically include UCI Women’s WorldTeams, UCI Women’s ProTeams and, in certain cases, strong UCI Continental squads. Invitations and participation are based on sporting merit, ranking, and organiser selection, with an emphasis on competitive fields and development opportunities.
