Get ready to sweat, suffer and stomp those pedals for your chance to take part in the 2026 AusCycling Esports National Championships.
About the live final
The live final returns to The Cube at Queensland University of Technology on April 10 as part of the Brisbane Cycling Festival.
It will see the top five male and female esports cyclists in the country go head-to-head in person on MyWhoosh, battling for the green-and-gold jerseys.
The final will consist of two points races, with cumulative points determining the Open Men and Open Women's national champions.
Both winners will also receive the prize of a new JetBlack Victory smart trainer.
Spectators are invited to come along and cheer on the riders, with The Cube providing an interactive atmosphere, bringing fans closer to the action with live race data and immersive displays.
The races will also be broadcast live.
How do I qualify?
