With less than one hundred days until X-Trial Leeds takes place at the First Direct Bank Arena – Leeds on Saturday 24 January 2026, plans are already taking shape to deliver a new level of fan experience as the World series returns to the UK for the first time since 2016.
The impressive glass fronted entrance will welcome fans with full access tickets from 2pm on the day of the event. Trial Expo will be situated on three floors inside the modern city centre venue, with escalators and lifts providing easy entrance to all levels. The upper two floors will include stands from all the major brands and retailers, whilst the ground floor will be home to the Trial manufacturers.
From 2.30pm fans will then have access to the arena floor where they can get their first glimpse of the new course and sections designed and built by Dougie Lampkin and his team. At the same time fans will also be able to view the paddock area and grab autographs from all the riders as they prepare themselves for the main event.
Doors to the seats will open at 4pm, this will be the moment when fans will really appreciate the new viewing experience with the crescent shaped elevated auditorium providing amazing and uninterrupted views of the entire course. Prior to the actual competition starting at 5pm, fans will be able to enjoy an all-new live pre-event show on the big screen as pit presenter interviews riders and teams as the clock ticks down to the main event.
With three hours of high-level action guaranteed during the two-stage qualification process and the four-rider final, fans are sure to go home after the podium ceremony reflecting on an incredible day of sport and entertainment.
