The 2026 CrossFit Games will be at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, for the 20th year of crowning the Fittest on Earth. The Games will once again be three days, but in July next year, on July 24-26.
The location was shared on the new podcast, The Sport of Fitness, on the CrossFit Games YouTube channel.
Many were anticipating that next year’s CrossFit Games would be returning to the west coast based on a press conference in Albany, New York, when a county executive said, “they’re going to be on the West Coast because it’s a bigger deal.”
Of course, where exactly turned into a debate among CrossFitters. Many speculated that the Games would return to Carson, California, while San Francisco and San Jose were also some of the top rumored spots. Back in August, Dave Castro, Director of Sport, shared video inside Chase Center in San Francisco, which also fired up some discussion.
