About the Games
The CrossFit Games are the world stage for the Sport of Fitness. Hundreds of thousands of athletes enter the season in February, but only the top fraction of a percent earn the chance to compete for the title Fittest on Earth at the StubHub Center in Carson, California in July.
For fans, the Games are a six-day festival of fitness. Tens of thousands of people passionate about moving large loads long distances come to Los Angeles to watch the world’s fittest, and connect with other CrossFit athletes, trainers and affiliate owners.
The competition starts Tuesday, July 19, with the Masters and Teenagers in the Soccer Stadium. Late Thursday, July 21, CrossFit will declare the fittest in each of the seven age categories (40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60+, 14-15, 16-17).
The Individual and Team Competitions begin on Wednesday and resume Friday-Sunday (July 20, 22-24). For the last few years, the Individuals and Teams have begun on Wednesday with an off-campus event such as an ocean swim in the waters by the Santa Monica Pier.
Friday through Sunday, all Individual and Team events are held at the StubHub Center. Each day begins at 9 a.m. with the Teams in the Soccer Stadium. Once the Teams are done midday, the Individuals take the soccer field. In the late afternoon, the Individuals move to the Tennis Stadium, where they perform under the lights.
This changes on Sunday when both the Individuals and the Teams move to the Tennis Stadium midday for the finals.

All Access Wristbands
To differentiate you as an All Access ticket holder, you will need to pick up a wristband that complements your paper ticket once you arrive at the venue each day. This wristband will let you into the Tennis Stadium in the afternoon. There will be no rush to get your wristband since your seat (Yellow, Orange, Blue), or seating section (Red), is secured.
The wristband stations are shown in the map below.
Even after you pick up your wristband, you will keep your paper ticket since it shows where you are seated in the Tennis Stadium.
Sharing Ticket Packages
Each ticket package comes with multiple paper tickets (one per day). Consequently, a single package can be shared between multiple friends. Please note that only one person can gain access to the StubHub Center per ticket per day.
For example, an All Access Ticket Package buyer who cannot attend on Friday may choose to hand off the Friday paper ticket to a friend. That friend would be the sole person to use that ticket that day.
Tickets for Games Qualifiers
We encourage all family and friends of potential Games qualifiers to purchase tickets during the initial public sale. That's the best time to get the exact tickets you want for your group.
To ensure that every Games qualifier has some seats for their family and friends, we've set aside ticket packages for Games qualifiers. These ticket packages correspond with the athlete's competition venue.
- Each Masters and Teenage competitor will receive two comped Mid-Week 3-Day Packages.
- Each Team will receive six comped All Access Packages (Red), and the option to purchase up to 4 more (Red).
- Each Individual will receive two comped All Access Packages (Orange), and option to buy up to 3 more (Red).
Competitors must claim their comped and purchasable tickets within a week of qualifying for the Games. Games organizers will provide information via email.
Any remaining ticket packages will be released to the public in June.
Accessible Seating
People with mobility disabilities who require accessible seating because of their disability are permitted to purchase tickets for accessible seats.
In the Tennis Stadium, these seats are located on the outer ring of the stadium bowl near the bleachers. Those who need these seats can reserve a seat for themselves and up to three companions in this area. All Access Ticket Packages for these accessible seating sections will cost $225 per person.
There is also accessible seating in the Soccer Stadium, and it will be available to anyone who needs it. All ticket package types will work.
