Individuals

The Open

Registration for the Open begins on Jan. 9, 2024. Participants must complete three workouts during a three-week span at their affiliates or home gyms.

Quarterfinals

The second virtual stage of the 2024 CrossFit Games season will separate the top athletes from the rest of the field as individuals complete a series of workouts at their affiliate gyms across six days to see who advances to the Semifinals. After allowing only the top 10 percent of individuals in each region to move from the Open to the Individual Quarterfinal in 2023, CrossFit HQ has opened the door for more athletes to participate in 2024 by expanding that threshold to the top 25 percent of the worldwide Open.

The regions include North America West, North America East, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and South America.

  • Registration begins: April 1, 2024
  • Individual Quarterfinal: April 17-22

Semifinals

The final qualifying stage for athletes vying for the sport’s ultimate prize will feature the top 40 individual men and 40 individual women from each region competing in person.

According to CrossFit HQ, dates and locations for the Semifinals will be released at a later time.

The CrossFit Games

Scheduled for Aug. 8-11, 2024, the CrossFit Games will take place at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX. There, the top 40 men and 40 women in the world will battle for the honor of becoming the Fittest Man on Earth® and the Fittest Woman on Earth®, respectively.
