The 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships was the inaugural edition of the UCI Cycling World Championships organised by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), held between 3 and 13 August 2023 in Glasgow.[1]

The UCI Cycling World Championships, to be held every four years in the year preceding the Olympic Games, brings together various disciplines of cycling for them to be held as part of one event, including the UCI Road World Championships, UCI Mountain Bike World Championships and UCI Track Cycling World Championships.[2]

The event had a budget of £45–50 million, with funding coming from various local and national bodies, including the Scottish Government and UK Sport.[3] Glasgow City Council provided £15 million to the championships after it was predicted the economic boost would total £67 million.[4]
