The season originally consisted of seven pairs of triathlon races for both a men's and women's competition, beginning on 3 May in Abu Dhabi, and concluding on 20 October with the grand final in Torremolinos; however the opening race was cancelled due to extreme weather conditions.[1] A further race in Montreal was cancelled for water quality leaving five series events.

The World Champion is decided on a cumulative points basis, with the sum of their three best points scores, plus their score in Torremolinos, deciding the series rankings, medallists and champions.[2] As it was an Olympic year, and in light of the cancellation of two Series events, the individual races at the 2024 Summer Olympics were treated as a sixth WTCS race for the purposes of ranking points. In addition, points were available on a reduced scale (75% of a standard Series race) for each of the continental championships.
