The Brussels Universities Cyclocross race, officially called Soudal Brussels Universities Cyclocross for sponsorship reasons, is a cyclo-cross race held since 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. The race is held in the adjacent campuses of the two neighboring universities namely the French-speaking Université libre de Bruxelles and the Dutch-speaking Vrije Universiteit Brussel at Eastern Ixelles. [1] The race is part of the Cyclo-cross Trophy.

During the prize ceremony the top 3 riders are awarded a graduation cap.[2]
