The IFBB Pro League’s 2027 Olympia qualification period opened on August 31, 2026, four weeks before the 2026 Olympia ended, and runs until September 12, 2027. Every open pro show in that window can send someone to the next Olympia, and this page tracks who has made it.
As of October 19, 2026, 68 athletes across the 12 divisions have qualified, according to the IFBB Pro League’s official list. Nick Walker, Samson Dauda and Derek Lunsford are in as the top three from the 2026 Mr. Olympia. Regan Grimes got there first, winning the Pro Muscle Italy Pro in Milan on September 6, and the first weekend of October added eight more, among them Andrea Presti and Tonio Burton in the Men’s Open. The weekend of October 10 and 11 added five more, among them Michal Krizo, who won the EVLS Prague Pro. The weekend of October 16 to 18 added four more: Yinka Majolagbe and Vitor Alves Porto De Oliveira in the 212, Andrea Mammoli in Classic Physique and Jeanne Kassel in Figure.
The IFBB has not announced a date or venue for the 2027 Olympia. This list follows the official standings, and we will update it as the IFBB confirms new qualifiers.
2027 Olympia qualified athletes at a glance
This table counts the athletes the IFBB lists as qualified in each division. In the four points divisions, dozens more are collecting points toward a top-20 finish.
| Division | Qualified so far | How athletes qualify |
|---|---|---|
| Mr. Olympia (Men’s Open) | 7 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
| Men’s 212 | 10 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
| Classic Physique | 4 | Points (top 20) |
| Men’s Physique | 6 | Points (top 20) |
| Wheelchair | 3 | Olympia top 3 + show winners + top 3 in points |
| Ms. Olympia (Women’s Bodybuilding) | 5 | Olympia top 3 + show winners + Rising Phoenix top 3 |
| Fitness | 2 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
| Figure | 12 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
| Bikini | 5 | Points (top 20) |
| Women’s Physique | 4 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
| Wellness | 3 | Points (top 20) |
| Fit Model | 7 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
Fitness shows two because the IFBB’s list does not yet include the 2026 Olympia runner-up and third place. The Fitness section below explains.
How to qualify for the 2027 Olympia
The IFBB runs two systems. Seven divisions use win-and-you’re-in: Men’s Open, Men’s 212, Women’s Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure, Women’s Physique and Fit Model. The top three from the 2026 Olympia qualify, and so does the winner of every open IFBB Pro show in the qualification period. Women’s Bodybuilding adds one more route, a top-three finish at the Rising Phoenix.
Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Bikini and Wellness run on points, and the top 20 in the standings qualify when the period closes. Some athletes skip the math. The 2026 Olympia top three are in, and so is anyone who wins two open shows or wins one of the big five shows: the Arnold Classic USA, Pittsburgh Pro, New York Pro, Romania Muscle Fest Pro and Dubai Pro. Everyone else earns points like this, and only the top five at each show score:
| Placing | Olympia | Big five shows | All other open pro shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Qualified | Qualified | 10 points |
| 2nd | Qualified | 14 points | 4 points |
| 3rd | Qualified | 11 points | 3 points |
| 4th | 12 points | 9 points | 2 points |
| 5th | 10 points | 7 points | 1 point |
Wheelchair takes the Olympia top three and every show winner, then the top three in points, which pay 10, 9, 8 and 7 for second through fifth place. Two more rules. Former Olympia winners keep lifetime eligibility, with IFBB approval needed if their last win is more than five years old. Division winners at the 2026 Ben Weider Naturals Pro qualify in every division except Men’s Open, 212 and Women’s Bodybuilding. Our breakdown of the 2027 qualification rules covers what changed from last season.
2027 Mr. Olympia (Men’s Open) qualified athletes
The whole 2026 Mr. Olympia podium is in. Dauda qualified twice over, because he also won the Europa Pro in Offenbach on September 13, with Grimes second. Andrea Presti won the Everest Muscle Legends Pro in Warsaw on October 3, and Tonio Burton defended his title at the Pharlabs Mexico Pro a day later. On October 11, Michal Krizo won the EVLS Prague Pro, his second Prague title.
| Athlete | Country | How he qualified |

| Nick Walker | USA | Won the 2026 Mr. Olympia |
| Samson Dauda | UK | 2nd at the 2026 Mr. Olympia; won the 2026 Europa Pro (Sep 13) |

| Tonio Burton | USA | Won the 2026 Pharlabs Mexico Pro (Oct 4) |
| Michal Krizanek (Michal Krizo) | Slovakia | Won the 2026 EVLS Prague Pro (Oct 11) |
Former Mr. Olympia winners keep lifetime eligibility, but the IFBB says it is not automatic, so they appear here only once the IFBB adds them to its official list. Every score from Las Vegas is in our 2026 Mr. Olympia results.

2027 Classic Physique Olympia qualified athletes and points

Andrea Mammoli is the first to qualify under the two-win rule: he won the Tsunami Nutrition Showdown Toulouse Pro on October 3 and the FitParade Pro in Budapest on October 18. Terrence Ruffin leads the standings on 24: 10 for fifth at the Olympia, 10 for winning the Pharlabs Mexico Pro on October 4 and 4 for second at the EVLS Prague Pro on October 11.

Everyone below is on 10 points or more and still chasing a spot. The top 20 qualify when the period closes on September 12, 2027, and two open wins or one big-five win gets anyone in sooner.

Josh Bridgman won Classic Physique at the AGP Pro All Stars on September 26. The IFBB had not added that result to the standings by October 19, so he is not in the table above yet. Full placings: 2026 Classic Physique Olympia results.
2027 Men’s Physique Olympia qualified athletes and points
Mehdi Kabbadj and Dallas Botchway used the two-win rule. Kabbadj took the Tournament of Champions and the San Antonio Pro a week apart, and Botchway won the Sasquatch Pro and the Toulouse Pro two weeks apart. Erin Banks leads the points race on 32 after winning the Pharlabs Mexico Pro on October 4, his second open win since the Dominican Republic Pro on September 13. Two open wins qualify under the rules, but the IFBB still listed Banks on points on October 19, so he stays in the points table until the official list moves him. Emile Walker did get the move: he won the Ace of Stage Pro on October 3 and the EVLS Prague Pro on October 11. Alexander Toplyn moved to 25 by winning the Hurricane Pro on October 17, and Benquil Marigny joined on 17 after winning the Kentucky Bourbon Pro the same day.

Marquez then won the Hurricane Pro on October 17, after the Dominican Republic Pro in September, and Viktoria Csicsayova won the FitParade Pro on October 18, after the Pro Muscle Italy Pro on September 6. Two open wins qualify under the rules, but the IFBB had not added the October 17 and 18 Bikini results by October 19, so both stay in the points table until the official list moves them.
