Nocturne is a night time criterium (circuit race).
In partnership with the City of London, we are bringing world-class cycle racing back to the City streets on 12-13 June 2026.
The reimagined Nocturne will span two action-packed days, introducing an exciting new format designed to create a spectacular festival of bike racing:

Saturday 13th June: Nocturne - 12:00-22:00
The event is free to attend with tickets available to watch the racing from the finish line hospitality.
Elite races will be broadcast live on TNT Sports and HBO max and other races will be streamed live on YouTube.
