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 and catch up and throw down with their fellow fitness families.
To celebrate 20 years, the 2026 CrossFit Games will return to California, taking place at the SAP Center in San Jose from July 24-26. This year, the Masters, Teenage, and Adaptive athletes will compete in San Jose during the same week at the San Jose Convention Center.
In addition to watching the competition, fans can enjoy experiences from vendors and sponsors, a livestream viewing area, a spectator workout space, and more!
There are several options for experiencing the 2026 Games. Keep reading for ticketing details, and we’ll see you in San Jose!

This year, all affiliates in good standing will have access to an unlimited number of tickets to the CrossFit Games (Individual and Team) beginning Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
This presale allows affiliates early access to the ticketing website, Ticketmaster, where they’ll be able to purchase Arena Ticket Packages.
To gain early access, affiliate managers must have a code. Affiliate managers will receive the code, which allows them to purchase an unlimited number of tickets. Codes will be sent via email and accessible on their competition dashboard. Emails will be sent and codes displayed on the competition dashboard on March 17, 2026. Codes are case-sensitive and can be used in multiple transactions.
Anyone can use the code. Affiliate managers who are not interested in purchasing tickets may hand their code to another gym member or a friend anywhere in the world. There are no restrictions on who can use the code; it’s entirely up to the affiliate manager.
