The French Throwdown has announced the timing for next year’s competition. The 2026 French Throwdown will be May 15-17 at the l’Arena Grand Paris in Paris, France.
While it has not officially been announced as a Semifinal competition for the 2026 CrossFit Games, all signs point to it returning as one of the qualifying competitions next year.

Here are the important dates for the 2026 French Throwdown:
- December 1, 2025: Registration for online qualifier opens
- January 29 – February 4, 2026: Online Qualifier Workouts 1 & 2 (individuals)
- February 10: Registration deadline for online qualifier (individuals)
- February 5-10: Online Qualifier Workout 3 (individuals)
- May 15-17: In-Person Finals
Teams have a slightly different timing for the online qualifier:
- January 29 – February 15, 2026: Online Qualifier Workouts 1, 2 & 3 (teams)
- February 15: Registration deadline for online qualifier (teams)
The French Throwdown is the second likely Semifinal to announce its date for the 2026 season. Earlier this month the NorCal Classic announced its 2026 competition will be May 29-31.
