What Is the 2026 CrossFit Games Schedule for Individual and Team Events?

The practical version of the 2026 CrossFit Games schedule starts here: the Games run July 22–26 in San Jose, California; individuals compete Wednesday through Sunday across 20 scored events; teams compete Thursday through Sunday across 12 scored events; and several individual event names are still unreleased before competition day even though their heat codes, dates, venues, and broadcast windows are published.[1][2][3]

That distinction matters. A fan planning lunch-break viewing or a ticketed arena session does not need another anniversary essay before learning whether IE10 is free on YouTube, FloElite-only, or still hiding behind a heat code. The usable answer is a combined individual-and-team schedule, with the known names named and the unnamed slots left honestly unnamed.

2026 CrossFit Games Individual and Team Schedule at a Glance

All times should be treated as Pacific Time when using the official event pages and FloElite broadcast listings. The supplied public materials confirm the competition days, order, venues, event codes, known event names, and the important FloElite exclusives; where an exact clock time is not reproduced in the available source extract, the table marks the slot by session rather than inventing a minute mark.[1][3]

The Broadcast Warning Comes Before the Fun Stuff

Most 2026 CrossFit Games events are listed as free to watch through YouTube and the CrossFit Games website, but not all of them. FloElite lists Masters, Teens, and Adaptive coverage as exclusive to FloElite, and it also lists individual events 7, 9, 10, 15, and 16/17 as FloElite-exclusive.[3]

That means the easy-to-miss events for viewers are not only the finals. The first one is Wednesday’s IE07, because it sits on the opening individual day and may appear in some places as Swim Standard while another schedule context has marked it TBA.[1][4] The Friday and Saturday block has the same issue: IE09, IE10, IE15, IE16, and IE17 are exactly the kind of events people assume will simply appear in the free stream until they are staring at a locked broadcast window.[3]

Wednesday, July 22: Individuals Only, Two Venues, No Warm-Up Day

Wednesday is the schedule day most likely to punish casual checking. It is individual-only, it uses both The Ranch and SAP Center, and it opens the Games with seven scored individual events rather than easing into the week.[1][4] For athletes, that is a heavy first-day load. For viewers, it is the day to keep the official schedule and broadcast page open at the same time.

The first named piece is a repeat of the 2007 Hopper WOD: a 1000-meter row, followed by five rounds of 25 pull-ups and 7 push jerks at 85 lb for women and 135 lb for men.[4] It is anniversary texture that actually belongs in the schedule conversation, because it tells viewers what kind of early test they are watching: not a mysterious arena spectacle, but a classic CrossFit blend of pulling, cycling, and barbell work.

The Ranch 7200m Trail Run follows the same practical logic. It is not just a scenic callback to CrossFit history; it moves athletes into a terrain-based test away from the predictable floor lanes of SAP Center.[1] Anyone attending in person should treat the Ranch-to-arena split as a real logistics issue, not a decorative venue note.

CrossFit Total is the cleanest event on the Wednesday slate for viewers who like numbers. The lift total is built from the back squat, press, and deadlift, so the leaderboard math is plain even when the larger day is moving fast.[4] It is also one of the few Games tests that a home-gym fan can understand without needing a field map, lane assignment, or broadcast explainer.

The Grass Oval Bicycle Race adds the first obvious equipment and field-management wrinkle, and Swim Standard closes the named Wednesday list with the return of swimming after a two-year absence.[1][4] IE07 is the one to circle twice: the official CrossFit schedule identifies it as Swim Standard, Wikipedia aligns with swimming being part of the 2026 Games, while Barbell Spin’s schedule context marked the slot as TBA.[1][2][4] The safest reading is that the swim is confirmed, but the label may not display consistently everywhere fans check.

Thursday, July 23: Teams Start at the Block Party, Individuals Rest

Thursday belongs to the teams. The individual field rests after Wednesday’s seven-event opener, while the team competition begins with TE01 Big Bob Sled Push and TE02 Handstand Walk Relay at the CrossFit Block Party.[1][4]

This is a shorter day to explain, but not a throwaway day. It is the team debut, it puts the team division in a more public-facing setting, and it gives individual athletes a full competition pause before the Friday-through-Sunday SAP Center block. The public materials do not provide movement descriptions for team events beyond the named items, so there is no useful reason to guess at them.

Friday, July 24: Opening Ceremony, Shared SAP Center Floor, and Two FloElite-Only Events

Friday is when the individual and team schedules start overlapping in the way most fans expect from a Games weekend. FloElite lists the Opening Ceremony at 4:15 pm PT, and the day includes team events 3–5 plus individual events 8–12 on the SAP Center floor in staggered sessions.[3]

The annoying part is not that Friday is complicated. It is that several individual event names are still not public as of July 23. IE08 through IE12 are published as heat-code slots rather than fully revealed workouts in the supplied schedule context.[1][3] That is normal enough for CrossFit, where event names and workout details can appear close to the competition window, but it should be labeled plainly instead of padded into fake certainty.

For viewing, IE09 and IE10 are the Friday danger points because FloElite marks them exclusive.[3] If a watch party is built around the free stream, those two slots need a separate plan. The team events in the Friday block are TE03, TE04, and TE05, but the supplied public materials do not give their movement descriptions; the useful facts are that they happen Friday, they share the SAP Center day with the individuals, and they sit after the Thursday team opener.[3]

Saturday, July 25: Sprinting, Snatching, Barack Obama Blvd, and More Locked Individual Coverage

Saturday has the most obvious split personality of the weekend. Teams continue with TE06, TE07, and TE08, with TE08 identified as Barack Obama Blvd.[3] Individuals move through IE13 to IE17, including the 500m Sprint and Speed Snatch Triple.[3][4]

The 500m Sprint is simple to follow and easy to underestimate on a schedule sheet. It will be short on the clock but costly on standings if points are tight. Speed Snatch Triple is the opposite kind of viewer event: the barbell is the story, the attempts are legible, and the mistakes are immediate.

Saturday also has the densest FloElite warning for individual fans. IE15, IE16, and IE17 are listed as FloElite-exclusive, and IE16 and IE17 are still unnamed in the supplied public schedule context as of July 23.[3] In other words, this is not a day where checking the event name is enough. Check the broadcast access too.

Sunday, July 26: Team Events 9–12 and Individual Events 18–20 Close the Games

Sunday is the finals day for both divisions. Teams finish with TE09 through TE12, while individuals close with IE18 Machine 7200M, IE19 Roll to Support AMRAP, and IE20, whose public event name is not released in the supplied schedule context as of July 23.[3]

Machine 7200M gives the day a measurable endurance anchor. Roll to Support AMRAP has a more technical name, and IE20 remains the final unnamed slot. That last point is worth preserving as uncertainty, not smoothing over. A final event can be confirmed in the schedule without having its workout identity publicly available yet.

What Is Confirmed, and What Is Still Unnamed?

The confirmed frame is strong. The 2026 CrossFit Games are the 20th anniversary edition, back at SAP Center in San Jose, with 30 men and 30 women in the individual field and 20 teams in the team field.[2] Individuals have 20 scored events, and teams have 12 scored events.[1][2] The week also includes Masters, Teens, and Adaptive divisions, but those schedules are separate from the individual-and-team track covered here and are FloElite-exclusive in the broadcast listing.[3]

The unresolved part is narrower than it may look. The schedule is not missing days. It is not missing the team-vs-individual structure. It is not missing the broad broadcast map. What remains unreleased in the supplied public context is the workout identity for several individual event codes: IE08–IE12, IE14, IE16–IE17, and IE20.[1][3] Some team events beyond TE01, TE02, and TE08 also lack public movement descriptions in the available materials.[1][3]

That is why heat codes should not be treated as empty space. IE20 being unnamed does not mean Sunday is incomplete. TE06 lacking a movement description does not mean the team event is optional. It means the schedule has confirmed the slot before CrossFit has publicly attached the full workout description.

Why IE07 May Look Different Depending on Where You Check

IE07 is the schedule conflict most likely to make fans second-guess themselves. The official CrossFit schedule lists IE07 as Swim Standard, and Wikipedia’s 2026 Games page is consistent with swimming being part of the event slate.[1][2] Barbell Spin’s July 21 schedule analysis, however, marked the slot as TBA while also noting schedule-page anomalies and the return of swimming after a two-year absence.[4]

The clean way to handle that conflict is to separate event identity from display inconsistency. Swim Standard is the better-supported label for IE07 based on the official page and Wikipedia alignment; the Barbell Spin note is useful because it warns that schedule pages can contain typos, time-zone display problems, or lagging labels.[1][2][4] For fans, the important operational fact is unchanged: IE07 is a Wednesday individual event and FloElite lists it as exclusive.[3]

A Note on Anniversary, Prize Money, and Other Divisions

The 20th-anniversary framing is real, and it shows up in schedule choices that matter: the 2007 Hopper WOD repeat, CrossFit Total, the swim returning, and the unusually large 20-event individual slate.[4] That is enough context for this schedule. It does not need to crowd out the difference between a free stream and a FloElite-only slot.

Prize-money estimates have also circulated, including an estimated total near $2.5 million and an estimated individual winner payout near $312,000, but those figures are derived from Open registration counts rather than official CrossFit prize-purse confirmation.[4] Masters, Teens, and Adaptive athletes also compete during Games week, with Masters listed for July 21–24 and Teens and Adaptive listed for July 24–26, but their detailed schedules are outside the individual-and-team event plan here.[3]

How to Use This Schedule Without Missing a Heat

• Check the official CrossFit schedule for final event-name reveals and venue listings before each session.
• Check FloElite before assuming an event is free to watch, especially IE07, IE09, IE10, IE15, IE16, and IE17.
• Treat unnamed IE and TE codes as confirmed competition slots, not canceled or filler events.
• Use Wednesday as a two-venue individual day, Thursday as a team-only debut day, and Friday through Sunday as combined SAP Center planning days.
• When sources disagree, give more weight to the official CrossFit schedule for event identity and FloElite for broadcast access.

The 2026 CrossFit Games schedule is not mysterious. It is just scattered. The useful version is the one that keeps the confirmed dates, divisions, venues, event codes, known names, and broadcast restrictions in the same place—and leaves the unreleased workouts unnamed until CrossFit actually names them.
