This afternoon at 3pm Eastern Time the Team Online Semifinals begin. Teams who have yet to qualify for the CrossFit Games via an in-Person Semifinal will have the ability to complete five workouts between this afternoon and Monday, June 8, at 3:00 pm Eastern.
The top 7 teams from the Online Semifinals will join the 13 teams who already qualified from the in-Person Semifinals to compete at the 2026 CrossFit Games.
REQUIREMENTS
All teams who are competing in the Team Online Semifinals must abide by the judging requirements set forth in the CrossFit Games rulebook.
In-Affiliate. Teams must complete the workouts at a CrossFit affiliate in good standing.
Head Judge. A Head Judge must be on-site and introduced in the team’s video of each workout. The Head Judge must hold [i] an active CrossFit Level 1 trainer credential or higher and [ii] a current Advanced Judges Course certificate.
Floor Judge. A registered floor judge must also hold [i] an active CrossFit Level 1 trainer credential or higher and [ii] a current Advanced Judges Course certificate.
Timing of Credentials. The Head Judge and floor judge(s) must hold the required credentials PRIOR to the start of competition. In other words, these NEED to be completed by today, June 4, at 3:00 pm Eastern Time.
Re-read the section above. There were numerous age group athletes who were unable to do the Online Semifinals because their judges waited until after the start of the competition to complete the Advanced Judges course. You have a few hours left…
Videos. Unlike last year for teams, in 2026 teams are required to submit videos for all of the workouts. The video must be published on YouTube and publicly viewable.
Do not publish it as private. Make sure the video is not blocked or unviewable because of copyright issues (music in the background) or be edited or modified in any way. Oh, and show the clock.

LEADERBOARD FINALIZATION
Following the close of score submissions, there will be a public video review followed by CrossFit’s internal review of video that have been flagged. CrossFit will finalized the Team leaderboard by no later than June 22, 2026.
