The calendar spans 107 race weekends across six continents, with new host cities including San Diego, Portland, Bari (Italy), and Nagoya (Japan) joining the roster.

In 2026, CrossFit is throwing it all the way back. And judging by the first workout announcements, we are getting the raw, no-frills, old-school CrossFit we fell in love with.
