3 September 2024 - Last updated 16 September 2024
Tickets are now available for the first round of the 2024 UCI Track Champions League, which will take place at the Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France. The venue – located 25 kilometres outside of Paris – is back for the third UCI Track Champions League season in a row with the action taking place on Saturday 23rd November. The round is sponsored by CIC (Crédit Industriel et Commercial).
This season holds particular significance as the Vélodrome National recently hosted the track cycling events at the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Fans might witness the return of GB’s world-record-setting team sprint gold medallists, Emma Finucane, Sophie Capewell, and Katie Marchant competing for individual glory as well as Olympic gold medallists Ellesse Andrews (New Zealand), Harrie Lavreysen (Netherlands), and Matthew Richardson, who recently announced a significant career shift to join the GB Cycling Team.

The Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines kicks off a series of five back-to-back rounds. Following Paris, the Netherlands’ Omnisport Apeldoorn will host rounds 2 and 3 on November 29th and 30th, while London’s Lee Valley VeloPark will be the venue for round 4 and the Grand Finale on December 6th and 7th. Tickets for the London rounds are also available HERE and information on purchasing tickets for the new Apeldoorn event will be announced soon.
Last season saw a thrilling evening of UCI Track Champions League action in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines as Dylan Bibic (Canada) moved to the top of the Men's Endurance standings by winning both the Scratch and Elimination races in front of a packed crowd.
Harrie Lavreysen (Netherlands), Ellesse Andrews (New Zealand) and Katie Archibald (Great Britain) were also celebrating at the end of a night of intense competition after successfully defending their leads in the Men’s Sprint, Women's Sprint and Women's Endurance competitions respectively. Victory here appeared to be a good omen, as all four athletes went on to secure the overall titles. Now it is the first round of the season, and athletes will be going all out for the perfect start.

As the world turns its attention to the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is once again bringing the Looney Tunes to the Olympic stage and kicking off the Games with a presence that spans live moments, product collections, collaborations, and original content.

Their presence in 2026 is a continued evolution— combined with the Olympic Rings as well as messages promoting the power of sport to unite people and inspire new generations.

Discovery, Honav USA, and the IOC. The center will be open February 6–22 at Via Carlo de Cristoforis 1.
