The 2024 UCI Road World Championships take place this September, as several of the world’s greatest riders descend upon the Swiss city of Zurich to compete for one of the top prizes available in the sport.
With the year’s Grand Tours and Paris 2024 Olympics in the rearview mirror, the riders and racers make the short trip to the country nestled in the Alps, with plenty of prizes and silverware up for grabs.

With several of the sport’s biggest names set to take to the roads around the city, too, there will be no shortage of action and drama to watch. So, how can you make sure you watch it all unfold?
