Media accreditation for the 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series is now open. You can apply for both season passes and one-event passes through our new accreditation platform HERE.

Media accreditation for all WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series is intended for media working for legitimate and established media outlets. Gaining media accreditation is subject to assessment and approval by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports, who reserves the right to approve or deny any accreditation demands.
