The UCI has published the list of professional teams who have requested to register for the 2024 season, with the same 18 2023 men’s WorldTour teams applying for licences for 2024, 16 women’s teams applying for the 15 available places as Women’s WorldTour teams, and 17 men’s teams applying for Pro Team status. 

The UCI announcement confirms that Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep intend to continue as separate entities after negotiations to form a mega team ended in early October.
