The 2026 Wanda Diamond League season calendar has been published.
Following another record-breaking year in 2025, many of the sport’s biggest names will be hoping to make history once again as athletics’ premier one-day series returns for its 17th season.
As in previous years, athletes will compete for points at 14 meetings as they bid to qualify for the series final in Brussels and a shot at the iconic Diamond Trophy.
The 2026 Road to the Final will begin in Asia, with Doha hosting the season opener on 8 May before back-to-back Chinese meetings in Shanghai and Xiamen.
The African leg of the series will take place in Rabat on 31 May, before the first European meeting of the season in Rome the following week.
After stops in Stockholm, Oslo and Paris, the world’s biggest stars will head to Eugene on the US west coast for a meeting which has seen five world records in the past three seasons alone.
The series then returns to Europe for meetings in Monaco and London, before the Road to the Final enters the home straight in August.
Lausanne, Silesia and Zurich will be the last stops before athletes assemble in Brussels for the Wanda Diamond League Final on 4-5 September.
With meetings on four different continents, the Diamond League is one of the most truly global series in world sport.
In 2025, it welcomed 400,000 spectators to some of the planet's most iconic arenas and was broadcast on television in 170 different countries.
