The 2026 CrossFit Games — formally the 2026 CrossFit Divisional Games — will be held in San Jose, California, from July 21-26, with all individual, team, masters and adaptive division qualifiers competing under one roof for the first time since the format restructure.
The new structure carries forward the integration introduced in 2025. Where previous editions split the Masters Games and team competitions into separate venues and weekends, the 2026 schedule consolidates the entire Games field into a single six-day event with a shared schedule, shared venue and shared broadcast.
The owners and coaches conference, presented by Hustle Up, will run alongside the competition for the second consecutive year. CrossFit affiliate owners and coaches use the week as their major in-person professional development date, with workshops, panels and product release windows clustered around the Games timetable. The integration of the conference into the Games week was one of the more popular structural changes of the 2025 reset.
The qualifying picture is now largely set. The 2026 season opened with the CrossFit Open in February, narrowed through a 30,000-plus athlete Quarterfinals field in March, and has run through eight regional semifinals across April and May. Mayhem Classic, the season's first semifinal, sent Victor Hoffer to the Games after a tiebreak win over Roman Khrennikov. Magic City delivered a Masters-heavy field. Far East Throwdown produced Finland's Henrik Haapalainen and Siria Meha as winners. Copa Sur in Brazil added Kalyan Souza, Anikha Greer, Miley Wade and Benjamin Reyes to the qualified list.
The Online Age Group Semifinals — held the weekend of May 8-11 — provide the final masters and teen qualifying paths, after CrossFit announced the five-workout online structure earlier in the spring.
The competition will run a similar format to 2025: opening days will feature longer outdoor and benchmark events designed to test broad capacity, mid-week workouts will tighten the field through specialised tests (heavy strength, gymnastics density, swim or paddle events), and the closing day will deliver the legacy fitness combinations the Games has used since the early years to determine final standings.
Athletes to watch on the men's individual side include returning podium finisher names, the European semifinal winners, and the rising Latin American group. On the women's side, Greer arrives with semifinal momentum after dominating Copa Sur, Meha matches her with the Far East result, and the rest of the women's field will be set by the closing semifinal weekend.
The Masters competitions, expected to be a major draw in San Jose given the city's proximity to a deep American Masters affiliate community, will follow a similar staggered schedule across the six days, with team finals running in parallel to individual cuts.
Tickets, broadcast information and the full event schedule will be released by CrossFit through June. The early indication from the federation is that 2026 will be the most attended Games week of the modern era — partly because of the geography, partly because of the integrated format that ran successfully for the first time last year.
The next six weeks belong to taper and travel. After that, San Jose.
