There will not be a 2024 season of the National Cycling League after all. Organizers today announced a “pause” on the 2024 season in order to focus on restructuring and rebuilding for the 2025 season.

Debuted in April 2023, the National Cycling League is the latest cycling series aiming to reignite American cycling fandom and reinvent cycling altogether with its unique —and admittedly entertaining— spectator-friendly format, a cohort of all-star investors and city-specific teams. The 2023 season consisted of a mere three races but came with much fanfare. Upon its conclusion in August, the organization hailed its debut as a “tremendous success,” which left them “excited about the future of the league.”
