What are the CrossFit Semifinals?

The CrossFit Semifinals are the final qualifying stage for the 2026 CrossFit Games and Divisional Games. 

The top Individuals and Masters from Quarterfinals, as well as all Teams from the Open, will have opportunities to compete at in-person Semifinals or in the Online Semifinals. Note: each in-person Semifinals event will have its own eligibility requirement. Competitors must also compete in Quarterfinals and finish within the cutline in order to be eligible for the finals.

The top teenagers from Quarterfinals and the top adaptive athletes from the Adaptive Open will advance to their respective Online Semifinals.

From there, top athletes and teams in each division will qualify for their division’s final to crown the Fittest on Earth.
