May 16, 2023

CrossFit

Take a look at this fan experience guide as you prepare for your trip to the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games Semifinals.

The Semifinals stage of the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games season represents one of the few times each year we as a global CrossFit community can come together not only to cheer on our favorite athletes and represent our affiliates but also to witness some of the most exciting moments in our sport. 

Live CrossFit Games events express the best of the community. Attending one of the Semifinal events live gives you the best experience while watching your favorite athletes vie for a ticket to the Games. It also provides you with an opportunity to participate in community events, from the Semifinals Throwdown to CrossFit clinics to affiliate owner meet-ups. 

Take a look at this fan experience guide as you prepare for your trip to the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games Semifinals. 

Semifinals Community Throwdown, Presented by U.S. Army

Compete at Semifinals in a new and exciting community competition!

Spectators and fans attending the North America East, North America West, and Europe Semifinals will have an opportunity to channel the strength and fitness of their favorite athletes by performing a variation of the Semifinal tests on the competition floor with competition gear.
