Rogue has released the three workouts for the 2026 Rogue Invitational Online Qualifier, or as they like to call it, “The Q”. Athletes can begin to take on the workouts starting on Friday at 9:00am Eastern Time. From there, athletes will have until Monday, August 23, at 8:00pm Eastern Time to complete and submit their scores.

Once the scores are in, Rogue will conduct its thorough video review process (athletes, make sure you follow the rules perfectly). After that, the top athletes will receive an invite to compete at the 2026 Rogue Invitational.
As for how many athletes will advance from the online qualifier, only Bill and Caity know that. Until last year a minimum of five men and women would receive an invite via the online qualifier. Then, last year that number shrunk to just two.
This year, while still unannounced, it appears that it could be three based on the automatic invites announced so far. Of course, it’s an invitational and Rogue can do what they want. So for athletes looking to qualify, the best bet is to just win it.
Good luck!
