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 families, and generally have a fantastic time.
The 2025 CrossFit Games will take place at MVP Arena in Albany, New York. The three-day event will be held from Friday, Aug. 1, through Sunday, Aug. 3. A detailed schedule of the competition will be released at a later date.
In addition to enjoying the competition inside MVP Arena, fans can enjoy experiences from vendors and sponsors, livestream viewing area, spectator workout space, and more! The entire city of Albany will be geared up for the Games, offering great opportunities for dining, drinking, and enjoying activities throughout the city.
There are several options for experiencing the 2025 Games. Keep reading for ticketing details, and we’ll see you in Albany!
