2026 XTERRA World Cup

The premier off-road triathlon pro series.

The Wildest Show on Dirt Returns

2026 brings a fresh start to the pro series, with all scores reset to zero and a new season of chasing points — and each other — set to play out across oceans, lakes, and mountains around the world. Beginning where the story opened last year on the sun-washed coastlines of Southwest Australia and ending on new ground in Suzhou, China, the 2026 World Cup is braced for a season defined by progression, adventure, and off-road triathlon at its highest level.

WORLD CUP Series Info

The XTERRA World Cup is the world's premier off-road triathlon pro series, where the sport’s top elites go head-to-head in a condensed circuit of Full Distance and Short Track races. A points-based battle where every turn, climb, and descent matters, each race is a fight for a share of the series prize purse and the pursuit of becoming the next XTERRA World Cup Champion.

The 2026 World Cup features seven stops and eleven races across Oceania, Europe, North America, and Asia. The Joker Rule returns, giving each athlete one Full Distance joker and one Short Track joker to help manage the demands of global travel and reduce the impact of mechanicals. Each race awards points to the top 30 finishers, with a standard Full Distance win earning 100 points and Short Track awarding 75. Stakes rise at the biggest events, with Regional Championships offering 1.2x more points and the series finale offering 1.5x.

In 2026, the series finishes on fresh terrain in Suzhou, China, where Pan Men Square becomes a city-centre stage for the final Short Track showdown before the Full Distance battle around Lake Taihu closes out the season and crowns the next XTERRA World Cup Champions.
