The first week of the 2026 CrossFit Open is behind us, meaning that it is time for the participants to shift their sights on the second out of three workouts. That being said, Workout 26.2 will be announced on March 5th at CrossFit Black Edition in Cascais, Portugal. So, in this article, you can find all information related to the announcement, including a how to watch guide and the full matchup breakdown.
How to Watch 2026 CrossFit Open Workout 26.2 Announcement
The 2026 CrossFit Open Workout 26.2 announcement will be broadcast live and free of charge on the CrossFit Games website and YouTube channel.
The second workout of the 2026 CrossFit Open follows a similar schedule to the first week. Specifically, the announcement is scheduled for 12 p.m. PT Thursday, March 5th, while the deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. PT the following Monday, which in this case is March 9th.
The Matchup
Each workout announcement features a duel featuring some of the best athletes in the world, which is also widely regarded as the most interesting parts of the entire broadcast. So, in the case of Workout 26.2, the organizers have called up Lucy Campbell, Mirjam von Rohr, and Aimee Cringle.
Lucy Cambell is definitely a one-to-watch this season, as she was the second-place finisher at the 2025 CrossFit Games, beating everyone except for Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr. So, with Tia-Clair being pregnant, it remains to be seen if Lucy is capable of claiming the most coveted title that the sport has to offer. She was forced to miss out on the 2023 and 2024 seasons due to an injury. But, ever since she came back, Lucy has been one of the most prominent figures in the pro scene.
Mirjam von Rohr is the second participant of the Workout 26.2 announcement. It is important to note that she has been the overall Open winner in both previous years, where she won a total of three out of six workouts. So, Rohr will look to defend her Open crown this year as well and Workout 26.2 is the perfect opportunity for her to show dominance.
Aimee Cringle has been climbing up the ranks quickly since her debut at the 2024 CrossFit Games. In 2025, Cringle ranked eighth at the Games, but in doing so, she claimed four top 5 event finishes. This goes to show that she is capable of beating anyone in the world when it comes to certain workouts.
