HYROX 2026 Calendar: Every Race Left This Season
São Paulo is done. The crowds have cleared, the results are logged, and athletes around the world are already looking ahead. The 2026 HYROX season still has plenty of racing left, and if you're targeting a specific finish time, a qualification slot, or simply your first podium, the decisions you make in the next few weeks about which race to enter could define your entire year.
This guide breaks down every major HYROX race still on the 2026 calendar, organized by region, with registration status and what each event means for your qualification picture heading into Stockholm.
Why the Calendar Still Matters After São Paulo
HYROX has grown fast. The 2025/2026 season now spans more than 60 races across four continents, with fields that regularly sell out months in advance. São Paulo was the season's flagship South American stop, but it's far from the final act. Several high-attendance events are still ahead, including races that will determine who earns a spot at the HYROX World Championships in Stockholm.
Qualification works on a rolling system. Athletes in the Pro and Elite divisions earn World Championship spots by finishing within qualifying thresholds at any sanctioned race. That means later-season races aren't less important. In many cases, they're more important, because fields have thinned slightly and qualification spots are still available.
Before you look at the calendar, it's worth being honest about where your training is right now. If you're not race-ready, entering a late-season event without adequate preparation is a mistake. How to Train for HYROX: The Complete Race Prep Guide covers the full periodization approach to peak at the right time, and it's essential reading if you're still building your base.
Stockholm World Championships: The Season Anchor
The HYROX World Championships in Stockholm remains the event every serious athlete is orienting toward. Scheduled for late 2026, Stockholm draws the deepest international field of the season, with Pro and Elite athletes from dozens of countries competing across individual, doubles, and relay categories.
Qualification windows are tightening. If you haven't secured your slot yet, you're not out of options, but you're running out of time to be selective about which race you use to qualify. The later you wait, the fewer sanctioned events remain before the World Championships registration closes.
For athletes chasing Stockholm on a competitive timeline, the remaining European races are your most direct path. Entry fees for European stops typically run $130 to $180 USD depending on category, with Pro category pricing at the higher end.
Europe: The Deepest Pipeline of Races
Europe carries the bulk of HYROX's remaining 2026 calendar. Key stops include events in Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, and Spain, most of which are still open for registration or in final allocation phases.
- Hamburg, Germany — One of the longest-running stops on the circuit. Hamburg typically draws one of the largest fields in Europe, which means competitive depth is high and qualification thresholds are met frequently. Registration is in late allocation as of this writing.
- Manchester, UK — A popular entry point for British athletes, with consistent field sizes and good logistical infrastructure. If you're UK-based and haven't registered, this is your most accessible remaining domestic option.
- Amsterdam, Netherlands — Strong turnout, flat venue, and well-organized logistics make Amsterdam a favorite for athletes targeting personal records. Registration is still open.
- Madrid, Spain — One of the later European stops on the calendar, Madrid gives athletes additional weeks of training time before racing. It's also one of the better remaining options for athletes who need more race-specific preparation before committing.
European races tend to have the most competitive Pro fields outside of the World Championships itself. If qualification is your goal, expect the pace to be fast and the cutoffs to be seriously contested.
North America: Strong Options on Both Coasts
The North American HYROX calendar has expanded significantly in the past two years, with major stops in the US and Canada still available for the remainder of 2026.
- Chicago, Illinois — One of the most anticipated US stops, Chicago has a large venue footprint and reliably strong attendance. Registration is open, and the event typically sells out within six to eight weeks of the date.
- Los Angeles, California — A late-season US anchor that draws athletes from across the West Coast and beyond. Field depth in the Open category is high, but Pro category spots remain competitive without being as saturated as some European events.
- Toronto, Canada — HYROX's Canadian presence has grown steadily. Toronto gives Canadian athletes a strong domestic option without the travel burden of transatlantic racing. Registration is still open.
- New York, New York — Depending on final scheduling confirmation, New York may be the last major US stop before Stockholm. Watch for registration opening if it hasn't already.
For US-based athletes weighing domestic versus international racing, the cost calculation is straightforward. A domestic race entry runs $120 to $160 USD, while factoring transatlantic travel for a European race adds $1,000 to $2,000 or more depending on your location and timing. Unless you have a specific reason to race in Europe, North America's remaining calendar gives you strong options without the added complexity.
Asia-Pacific: Growing Fast and Worth Watching
The Asia-Pacific region is HYROX's fastest-growing market. Australia has become a particularly strong hub, with Sydney and Melbourne both hosting sanctioned events. Singapore rounds out the major Asia-Pacific stops for 2026.
- Sydney, Australia — Consistently one of the best-organized Asia-Pacific stops. Field quality has improved markedly over the past two seasons, and the event now draws competitive athletes well beyond Australia's domestic scene.
- Melbourne, Australia — A strong alternative if Sydney sells out. Melbourne's venue setup has drawn praise from athletes for its spectator access and flow management.
- Singapore — The Singapore stop is HYROX's gateway to the broader Southeast Asian market. Heat and humidity are factors worth building into your preparation if you're racing here, even in indoor-adjacent venues.
Asia-Pacific qualification pathways do connect to Stockholm, but travel from the region to Sweden is a significant logistical undertaking. If you're racing in Australia or Singapore primarily as a qualifier, verify current qualification rules directly with HYROX to confirm eligibility before registering.
South America: Post-São Paulo Options
With São Paulo now complete, South America's 2026 calendar is largely wrapped. There may be smaller sanctioned events in Brazil or Colombia later in the season, but nothing confirmed at major-event scale. If you missed São Paulo and you're based in South America, the realistic path forward is a North American event or a European trip if Stockholm qualification is the goal.
How to Choose the Right Race for You
The calendar gives you options. The harder part is matching the right race to where you actually are as an athlete right now.
Here's a practical framework. If you've already raced this season and have your results in hand, your first step is understanding what your splits are actually telling you. Your HYROX Results: How to Decode Them and Actually Improve walks through exactly how to identify the stations and running segments where you're losing the most time, which should directly inform how much prep time you need before your next race.
If this is your first HYROX and you're still figuring out how the experience actually works on race day, HYROX Under the Tent: What No One Tells You Before Race Day covers the logistics, atmosphere, and tactical decisions that textbooks don't prepare you for.
For most athletes, the decision matrix comes down to three factors:
- Training readiness. How many weeks of race-specific work do you have left before your target date? If you're more than eight weeks out from peak fitness, choose a later race.
- Travel complexity. Transatlantic or transpacific travel within 72 hours of race day adds real physiological stress. Build buffer time if you're racing internationally.
- Field depth versus qualification need. Smaller fields increase your chances of hitting qualification thresholds. If qualification matters more than experience, target events with historically smaller Pro fields.
Registration Tips Before the Season Closes Out
A few practical notes that apply across all remaining races. HYROX events do sell out, and later-season events tend to fill faster as athletes who skipped earlier stops consolidate around remaining options. If you've identified your target race, register now rather than waiting for a final training block to confirm readiness.
Transfers between events are possible in some cases but not guaranteed, and transfer fees apply. Check the specific event's policy before assuming you can shift your registration if your plans change.
Finally, category selection matters more than some athletes realize. The Open, Pro, and Elite categories carry different qualification implications and different competitive environments. If you're on the fence between Open and Pro, err toward the category that accurately reflects your current fitness rather than aspirational fitness. Racing the right category at the right race gives you better data, a better experience, and a cleaner path to whatever your actual goal is this season.
The 2026 HYROX season still has a lot left to offer. Choose your race, lock in your registration, and use the remaining calendar to your advantage.
