Events will be held on tandem bicycles for visually impaired cyclists (B), and standard bicycles (C1-5). There are no track races for handbikes or tricycles, as these machines are unsuitable for the banked velodrome track. Seventeen events will be held in total on the track, a third of the total cycling events at the Games. The short time trial (either 500 metres or 1000 metres ('kilo') and individual pursuit disciplines (over 3000 or 400 metres) will be contested, along with one mixed classification team sprint event over 750 metres. There are no mass start races (e.g. scratch race, points race or omnium) in the program.
A number of the events will be composite classification events for multiple classes to ensure viable numbers of entrants. Such events will be subject to factoring, whereby finishing times are adjusted by a standardised percentage based on individual classification, to allow fair competition between classes.
The overall race programme is unchanged from 2021 in Tokyo.
