Some of the biggest names in British track cycling will be lining up in Manchester next year for the National Championships
The cream of British track cycling will be on show in Manchester next year as the Lloyds National Track Championships return to the National Cycling Centre.
Regarded as the very pinnacle of domestic track cycling in the United Kingdom, the event will take place from Thursday, February 19, through to Sunday, February 22, 2026 – with priority tickets on sale to British Cycling members this week.
Team GB cycling is currently in fine form, having recently enjoyed an impressive UCI Track World Championships in Chile and UCI Para-cycling World Championships in Brazil, where they won 14 medals in Santiago and amassed 23 in Rio.
Heroes of track cycling
The National Track Championships – organised in partnership with Manchester City Council – will provide UK-based fans with the opportunity to see their heroes up close, with the very best cycling talents in the country bidding for domestic crowns and jerseys.
With 32 medals available throughout a host of categories, including a programme of para cycling races, British Cycling Events Managing Director Jonathan Day believes it is an event not to be missed for all true track fans.
“We’re delighted to be returning to Manchester for the Lloyds National Track Championships in what looks like a jam-packed programme of intense and thrilling track racing, where we will see the best of British talent go head-to-head,” he said. “Last year, we saw record crowds, new stars flourish, and records tumble, and I can’t wait to see the storylines that develop in this year’s championships.
“We’re hugely thankful to Manchester Active and Manchester City Council for their ongoing support for the event, and we look forward to welcoming fans from across the country to the National Cycling Centre, the home of British Cycling.”
