The 2024 CrossFit Games Semifinals will be the second-to-last stage of the season, and the final qualifying stage for the CrossFit Games finals. The Semifinals will be held over three weekends (May 17 – June 2nd) and provide athletes from all around the world with an opportunity to secure their place at the most prestigious competition in the world. So, most recently, the organizers announced all dates and locations for the 2024 CrossFit Games Semifinals.
The 2024 CrossFit Games Semifinals will be based on region, such that they will take place in a certain location and only gather the athletes from that portion of the world.
For now, CrossFit recognizes seven separate regions, meaning the 2024 season will have seven Semifinal competitions as well. The 2024 CrossFit Games Semifinals will also be the first in-person competition of the season, as the Open and Quarterfinals will be online.
2024 CrossFit Games Semifinals Locations and Dates
Each of the seven 2024 CrossFit Games Semifinals will feature workouts programmed by CrossFit, with each Semifinal spanning over three days. Moreover, each Semifinal will consist of 40 Men, 40 Women, and 30 Teams.
Note: The minimum number of qualifying spots is listed in the text below because CrossFit will add more spots to certain Semifinals based on their ‘Strength of Field’ format. However, that will only be decided during the later portion of the season.
