22 teams are taking part in the race. All 18 UCI WorldTeams were automatically invited. They were joined by 4 UCI ProTeams: the two highest placed UCI ProTeams in 2023 (Lotto–Dstny and Israel–Premier Tech), along with Equipo Kern Pharma and Euskaltel–Euskadi who were selected by Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the organisers of the Vuelta.[2]

Soudal–Quick-Step chose to compete under a different name from the rest of the season: they became T-Rex Quick-Step, using the name of a product made by Soudal, their normal sponsor.[3]
