Registration for the 2025 CrossFit Games Open is now live!
What Is the CrossFit Open?
The CrossFit Open is a three-week, worldwide competition that is for anyone and everyone, regardless of fitness level or ability. For some, the Open is a chance to test their fitness and see how much fitter they’ve become over the past year. For others, the Open is about putting themselves out there, showing up, and celebrating fitness and connecting with others in their affiliate and around the world. For a select few, the Open is the first step in qualifying for the CrossFit Games.
When Is It?
The CrossFit Open will take place from Feb. 27-March 17, 2025.
How It Works
Structurally, the Open is a series of three workouts spaced across three weeks. Individuals can do the CrossFit Open workouts from anywhere: their affiliates, at home, in a park, or even on a beach — although you might find yourself eating sand if the workouts call for burpees! The Open follows the same cadence each week. The workout is released on the CrossFit Games website on Thursdays at 12 p.m. (noon) Pacific Time, and you have until Monday at 5 p.m. PT to do the workout and submit your score online. At the end of each week, you can see where you stack up against the world, in your age group, and within your division by viewing the worldwide CrossFit Open Leaderboard.
What’s Included in the CrossFit Open Registration?
Upon registration, your name will be placed on the CrossFit Games official worldwide leaderboard. With customizable options to compare your scores to those in your age bracket, profession, or within your affiliate, you can set up your leaderboard to suit your goals and interests.
Registration Bundles

I Just Started CrossFit, Will There Be a Version of the Workout For Me?
Yes! With Foundations, Scaled, and Rx’d versions of each workout, there is a version for everyone from the absolute beginner to the elite competitor and everyone in between.
Why Should I Do the CrossFit Open?
Participation in the Open means something different to everyone. It’s a great way to track your progress, gauging where your strengths and weaknesses lie. For many, this yearly check-in on their fitness is the main appeal of the Open. When you complete the Open workouts, you’ll be placed on a worldwide leaderboard, allowing you to see where you rank against hundreds of thousands of other CrossFit athletes. You can customize your leaderboard with hashtags to see where you rank against others who share your lifestyle, profession, age, location, and more.
Many also find great value in the competition aspect of the Open. By completing and submitting scores for all three Open workouts, you will be:
- Eligible to advance to the next stage of the 2025 CrossFit Games season, the Semifinals. The top-scoring athletes from the Open will advance.
- Eligible to compete in the new Community Cup.
- Eligible for the new Pairs Competition.
A Reminder on Submitting Scores
To be eligible for the Community Cup, Pairs Competition, or to continue in the 2025 CrossFit Games season, you must submit your workout scores each week by Monday at 5 p.m. PT*. Then, your scores must be confirmed by either:
- Performing the workout at a validly licensed CrossFit affiliate gym in good standing and receiving validation from the affiliate manager; or
- Uploading a working YouTube link of your workout to the CrossFit Games website.
*Keep in mind that daylight saving will take place during Week 2 of the Open. The score submission deadline will follow the one-hour time change.
A gym is only eligible to participate in the 2025 Open if the affiliate Licensee of Record (LOR) holds a valid CrossFit trainer credential. In 2025, the Licensee of Record must hold a CF-L2 credential to remain in good standing. Note: this requirement does not apply to new affiliates. LORs who affiliated in 2025 have one year to obtain their CF-L2 credential.
