Open Qualifiers for the 2025 UCI Esports World Championships with MyWhoosh

The 2025 UCI Esports World Championships are approaching, and MyWhoosh unveils the qualification schedule, outside of national selections. Cyclists from around the world, here’s your chance to shine on the world stage!

In addition to selections by national federations, MyWhoosh offers open qualifications accessible to all eligible riders, ensuring fair and inclusive competition.

Qualification Schedule

MyWhoosh is organizing four qualifying races in August 2025, open to all users verified by the platform. Here are the dates and times:

Time zones: CET (Central European Time), GST (Gulf Standard Time, +2h/CET), CDT (US Central Time, -7h/CET), AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time, +8h/CET).

Qualification Format

Each qualification is a single 32.4 km race, featuring:

Two sprint segments and two climbing segments (KOM/QOM), where points are awarded to the first riders.
A points-based format, a novelty compared to the previous time-based edition.

Riders can participate in one or more of the four events. The top riders in each category (men and women) will advance to the semi-finals of the 2025 UCI Esports Cycling World Championships.

Participation Requirements

Verification: all participants must go through the MyWhoosh pre-verification process.
Eligibility: riders who have participated in the Sunday Race Club at least once in the last six months are automatically verified.

Selection and Next Steps

Qualification results will be published in September 2025, after national selections have been validated. MyWhoosh will allocate semi-final spots to the best riders not selected by their federations. Additional races may be organized in September to offer a final qualification opportunity.

Semi-finals and Finals

Semi-finals (October 3, 2025): 150 men and 150 women will compete in a three-stage format, similar to the final.
Live Finals (November 15, 2025, Abu Dhabi): the top 20 riders per category will be invited to compete for the world title.

All semi-finalists must be affiliated with their national federation.
