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 September 29, 2026, 51 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.
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) | 4 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
| Men’s 212 | 6 | Olympia top 3 + show winners |
| Classic Physique | 3 | Points (top 20) |
| Men’s Physique | 4 | Points (top 20) |
| Wheelchair | 3 | Olympia top 3 + show winners + top 3 in points |
| Ms. Olympia (Women’s Bodybuilding) | 4 | Olympia top 3 + show winners + Rising Phoenix top 3 |

| Fit Model | 6 | 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.

| Samson Dauda | UK | 2nd at the 2026 Mr. Olympia; won the 2026 Europa Pro (Sep 13) |
| Derek Lunsford | USA | 3rd at the 2026 Mr. Olympia |
| Regan Grimes | Canada | Won the 2026 Pro Muscle Italy Pro (Sep 6) |
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.
