Cycling receives record £39m funding for 2028 Olympics and Paralympics

Cycling will once again receive the most funding of any sport for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic cycle, as UK Sport declares its largest investment to date for the Los Angeles Games in 2028.

Announced this week, cycling has been awarded £38,950,000 of the overall £330 million pot for the 2025-2029 funding period. This will be split into £30,125,000 for the Olympic cycling squad and £8,825,000 for the Paralympic squad. As a result, each programme is set to receive a boost of almost £1 million compared to the funding for Paris 2024, a previous best.
