2023 brings an exciting new weekend format for the
Longines Global Champions Tour show schedules. The 16-event series is committed
to developing the sport in the modern era by continuing rapid and exciting
growth for LGCT and GCL and attracting new audiences to show jumping.
The biggest change will see Round 1 and Round 2 of
the GCL team series now take place on the same day instead of across two days
as previously seen.

In addition, each weekend in the 2023 series will see
the top 40 riders qualify for the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix
giving more top riders the chance to take part in the big showdown. New for
next year the LGCT Grand Prix will be held on a different day to GCL at every
event.
Sports Director of LGCT & GCL Marco Danese
explained: “We are always looking for
ways to strengthen Global Champions, and have worked on a new format that
benefits horses, riders and spectators alike, which is set to launch in 2023.

Having both rounds of the GCL on the same day with all scores counting allows strategies for horse and riders to come into play over the weekend even more than previous, with an added benefit of making it really easy for the public to follow.”
Please note this does change the day on which GCL class and the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix will be held at each event so please check the schedule carefully before purchasing tickets.
Today’s announcement accelerates the excitement that builds for the new season as the world’s most dynamic show jumping series continues to launch huge new projects and innovations to keep the sport pushing forward in all areas including a significant increase in prize money for 2023.
Stay tuned for the new GCL team line-ups which will be revealed in the up coming weeks for the 2023 GCL championship as fans across the world get ready for the start of another epic season.
