2025 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships

Location of the 2025 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships

On 18 October 2023 (2023-10-18) it was announced that Liévin will host the 2025 World Championships. ^[1] The event was organized in the Val de Souchez park just outside Liévin. It was held at the site of Cyclo-cross Liévin, which had earlier hosted National Championships and 2008 European Cyclo-cross Championships and had been used to organize UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup four times in the past; last time being during the 2011–12 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup. However, this was the first time the World Championships were held in Liévin.

The course had a length of 2.95 km and an elevation of 68 m.^[2]

All times are local, CET (UTC+1).

During the start, the riders were positioned in the rows containing 8 riders each. The row in which a rider was positioned was determined from the front row to the back based on the ranking of the riders in the 2024–25 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup and other UCI rankings. The riders that finished up to the place 16 in the final World Cup classification started on the first two rows. After those the rest of the riders were positioned based on their latest UCI Cyclo-cross ranking. For Elite riders the places from 33 to 40 (5th start row) were allocated to the riders in the top 10 of the UCI mountain bike cross country ranking or the top 20 of the UCI road ranking.^[3]

The Elite Women's race took place on Saturday 1 February 2025 (2025-02-01) in 6 laps over a total distance of 16.95 km. 35 riders from 12 nations took part in the race.^[4]
