Kicking off in Tabor Czechia on November 23rd and finishing two months later in Hoogerheide in the Netherlands, this year’s World Cup is packed with epic courses from start to finish.

From the sand dunes of Koksijde to the giant descents of Zonhoven via the savage climbs of Namur the riders will have to master each and every surface and terrain that comes their way if they want to take the overall title.

The cross season is well under way with multiple rounds of the Superprestige, X2O and Exact series already having been held but now it’s time for the big races, the World Cup.

Pre season, all eyes were trained on Thibau Nys who publicly stated he wanted to dominate this year and curtailed his summer racing to prepare properly for the cross campaign. In his first race he did indeed dominate taking a commanding win in the Koppenberg Cross but since then it’s been Joris Nieuwenhuis who has bagged the most victories with three already. Nys has taken another win and Michael Vanthourenhout also has a pair.

With star riders Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert and Tom Pidcock likely to only make an appearance a select few times over the festive period and Eli Iserbyt sidelined with complications from iliac artery surgeries it’s a new guard who are set to shape proceedings. Riders like Joran Wyseure, Emiel Verstrynge, Niels Vandeputte and the in form British champion Cameron Mason.

In the women’s series, the out and out favourite will be current World Champion Fem Van Empel who won her first race of the season with ease. However it’s Lucinda Brand who has had the best start to the season taking six wins already. Other riders to watch out for are the Italian Sara Casasola who has a win in her legs this year as does Marion Norbert Riberolle and with names like Puck Pietese, the GOAT, Marianne Vos and new French sensation Celia Gery the fields will be stacked.

Read on to see full details of the series and how to watch Cyclocross World Cup live streams online, from anywhere.

Free UCI Cyclocross World Cup 2025 - 2026 live streams

The good news for Cyclocross fans is that you can catch the World Cup action for FREE in many parts of the world.

The UCI broadcasts free streams of the World Cup series on its own UCI YouTube channel. It is geo-restricted though, and only available in countries where a TV deal hasn't been struck with an external broadcaster. Geo-restrictions vary by event, but fans in the UK and Ireland are blocked because Eurosport and Discovery+ show all rounds. The feed is, however, sometimes freely available in the US, Canada, and Australia.

In Belgium, the World Cup is shown by the free-to-air public broadcasters – VRT / Sporza in the north and RTBF in the south.

In the Netherlands public broadcaster NOS often has free live streams on its platform, NPO Start, and Rai will be showing the Italian round on December 7th.

Coverage varies by race, but keep an eye on this page for event by event updates.

Outside any of these countries? Don't worry — you can unlock your stream via NordVPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
