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 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games will take place at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. This year’s six-day event will be held from Tuesday, Aug. 1, through Sunday, Aug. 6. 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 2023 Games. Keep reading for more details, and we’ll see you in Madison!
TICKETING
Festival-Only Package
A Festival-Only Package is a six-day ticket bundle that allows access to all on-campus competition events, with the exception of individual and team events inside the NOBULL Coliseum. Weeklong Festival-Only Packages are $119 (plus a $10 facility fee) and provide access to all six days of the CrossFit Games.
If you purchase a Festival-Only Package, you will have complete access to age-group and adaptive events inside the NOBULL Coliseum (general admission), as well as all outside events for the teams and individuals.
There is no reserved seating inside the Coliseum during age-group and adaptive events. Seating is general admission for both Festival + Coliseum Package and Festival-Only Package holders during age-group and adaptive competition.
The Alliant Energy Center campus will have ample access to video boards so you won’t miss a moment of the competition. If you’re not in the NOBULL Coliseum, the 20,000-square-foot beer garden is the place to be!
