The CrossFit Games are the ultimate proving grounds for the Fittest on Earth™ and are world-renowned as the definitive test of fitness. But the Games are more than just a showcase of the world’s fittest athletes — they’re also the world’s largest celebration of fitness. Every year since 2007, athletes, trainers, fans, and affiliate owners have gathered at the Games to cheer on their favorite athletes, catch up and throw down with their fellow fitness family, and generally have a fantastic time.
The 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games will take place at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. This year’s five-day event will be held Wednesday, Aug. 3, through Sunday, Aug. 7. A detailed schedule of the competition will be released at a later date.
During downtime in the competition, fans can take part in many activities. There will be more than 200,000 square feet with vendors and sponsors, a 20,000-square-foot beer garden, space for RV and tent camping, 20,000 square feet of spectator workout space, opportunities to try the same workouts as the athletes, and more! The entire city of Madison will be geared up for the Games, offering great opportunities for dining, drinking, and enjoying outdoor activities throughout the city.
Enjoy time in the sun — being active or watching the show — and as the sun sets, prepare to be dazzled as athletes sling barbells under the Coliseum lights.
There are lots of options when selecting your viewing experience for the 2022 Games. Read on for details, and see you in Madison!
Ticketing

Festival + Coliseum Package
A Festival + Coliseum Package is a five-day ticket bundle that includes access to all competition events throughout the day and a reserved seat inside the NOBULL Coliseum.
