500 days to go: Ultimate Championship finals rundown and qualified athletes revealed

The first 26 qualified athletes have been named and the distribution of finals has been confirmed to kick off the 500-day countdown for the World Athletics Ultimate Championship.

Three days, 28 events, some 360 star athletes and one record-setting prize pot. All eyes will be on Budapest’s National Athletics Centre on 11-13 September 2026, when the world’s greatest will settle the debate.

FINALS BY SESSION

In the battle to determine the champion of champions, the world’s best athletes will clash in 28 events across three action-packed sessions of competition.

The programme will feature women’s and men’s competition in the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, high hurdles, 400m hurdles, pole vault, high jump, long jump and javelin, as well as the women’s triple jump, men’s hammer throw, and mixed 4x100m and 4x400m.

Every moment counts. Each session will be stacked with finals* – no heats, no easing in.

On the track, the semifinals will star eight athletes, and only the top four in each will make it through to the final. The 1500m, 5000m and relay races will be straight finals – no second chances.

THE FINALS:
