The 2025 CrossFit Games season is approaching. We aim to make CrossFit accessible to athletes worldwide across all divisions.
New changes for 2025 will increase participation and opportunities for elite athletes. We will enhance experiences for masters, teenage, and adaptive athletes through better partnerships. Key changes include:
- Introducing the Community Cup, allowing more athletes to compete at local affiliates.
- Shifting to a three-stage season: Open → Semifinals → Games.
- Streamlining the elite competition calendar with in-affiliate Semifinals for clearer paths to the Games.
- Recognizing more partner events as qualifying competitions for elite athletes.
Stay updated as we provide more information about dates, events, and the 2025 Rulebook.
