The 2026 National Series Has Started — Here's What That Means

Round 1 of the 2026 AusCycling BMX Racing National Series went down on February 22 at the Brisbane SX International BMX Centre — the same venue that will host the UCI World Championships in July. That's not a coincidence. It was a deliberate start to a season built toward one destination.

The Oceania Championships ran the day before. Australian riders got a taste of the track that will matter most when the best in the world arrive in winter.

The AusCycling BMX Racing National Series isn't just a series of races. It's the primary competitive pathway for riders across Australia — from Under 7 through to Elite. Points accumulate across each round, and performances matter both for national ranking and for selection conversations when it counts.

For a rider trying to earn their place in the conversation for higher-level competition, every series round is a data point. Every gate matters.

We track the national series closely because it's where we see our riders compete. It's where funding decisions get validated — or challenged. When a kid we've backed lines up in Brisbane or Shepparton or Macarthur, we're watching what happens.

We're also watching for the riders who aren't there. The ones who couldn't make the trip. The ones who aged into a competitive category but didn't have the equipment or the entry fees to back it up.

Those are the riders we want to find before the next round.

The 2026 season runs from February through to the UCI Worlds in Brisbane in July. Four national series rounds. One national championships. And then the world's biggest BMX event, on Australian soil, for the first time in the sport's history.

It's a significant year. We intend to make the most of it.

If you know a rider who belongs in this series but doesn't have the support to get there — reach out.
