The CrossFit Owners and Coaches Conference began this morning in Albany, New York, ahead of the 2025 CrossFit Games. During the conference, affiliate owners were told the dates of the 2026 CrossFit Open.
The 2026 CrossFit Open will begin on Thursday, February 26 with the announcement of 26.1. The Open will run through Monday, March 16, with the close of 26.3 score submissions.
The dates are in line with the past two years as the 2025 CrossFit Open ran from February 27 through March 17.
26.1: February 26 – March 2
26.2: March 5 – 9
26.3: March 12 – 16
And as expected, the final week of the 2026 CrossFit Open coincides with the 2026 TYR Wodapalooza Miami Beach. The annual Miami-based competition made the switch from January to March for the upcoming year.
The question is…will WZA partner with the CrossFit Games for the final CrossFit Open workout?
