The 2026 British Cycling National Track Championships sponsored by Lloyds Bank as naming partner, are the 2026 edition of the British Cycling National Track Championships, the annual national championships in track cycling for Great Britain [1] .

Contents

They are organised and sanctioned by the national governing body, British Cycling, and were open to British cyclists. Although Cycling in Northern Ireland is administered by the all-island body Cycling Ireland, Northern Irish cyclists are also eligible to compete in the British championships. [2] [3] [4]

The National Track Championships (excluding certain events) were held from 20 to 22 February 2026 at the Manchester Velodrome (part of the National Cycling Centre) in Manchester [5] and included a full integrated program of para-cycing events, including visually impaired tandem. [6] As in previous years, the Derny, Omnium, Madison, and able-bodied Tandem events take place at various other venues and dates throughout the year, while the Elimination race previously held separately now forms part of the main championships. [7]

Winners of each event are awarded the national champions jersey - a white jersey featuring a blue, white and red band across the midriff - which may be worn throughout the following year when competing in the same discipline.
